This is my philosophy: "The musical World is rapidly changing with the incredible advances of digital technology and I believe we, musicians, composers, artists etc. must re-think the way in which we are rewarded for our work. It is now impossible to "protect" recordings, films, images from endless and perfect reproduction (a great thing in itself), therefore it would seem that, instead of blindly fighting the advances of modern technology, we must learn to live and work with it. Before recording technology existed a lot of music, especially popular music, was made by street musicians who depended on the good will of their audience. Today I think the simple solution is to return to this form of remuneration- yes, what this means is virtual busking!" |
