MusicSA today unveils its 2024 annual survey Insights. We are excited to share the results of MusicSA’s 2024 survey of the South Australian contemporary music industry. Conducted for the first time this year, the survey provides a detailed snapshot of the local industry, highlighting both its strengths and areas needing improvement. Key Insights: Industry Networks: There's a strong demand for a more connected industry and better information on grants, funding, and investment. Regional Investment: A significant need for dedicated investment in regional areas was identified, emphasizing the importance of professional and industry development outside metropolitan regions. Local Music Businesses: Most respondents are professional musicians, highlighting a shortage of music businesses to support our strong artist base. Live Music: Multiple barriers to live music attendance were identified, including a lack of familiarity with local artists and increasing costs. The survey findings will guide MusicSA's advocacy and industry development programs, ensuring we meet the shifting needs of our vibrant music community.

Star Trek: From Fiction to Reality with 5G and Holograms! 🎉 I remember weeks ago in our Storytelling Training with Julia Dixon, brainstorming how #5g could revolutionize lives? One idea that struck me was using #holograms for immersive virtual meetings, allowing me to be present in both a Mexican business meeting and at home with my family in Colombia. 😜 While colleagues envisioned other exciting uses like mining or faster downloads, seeing Telefonica´s event solidified my belief: Star Trek isn't just fantasy anymore! The global holograms market is expected to skyrocket from $44 billion in 2022 to $67 billion by 2030. Widespread adoption of holographic meetings might take some time, but the ease and accessibility of new holographic technologies suggest a "Star Trek holo-future" is just around the corner, especially as costs become more justifiable. Here's to more "holo meetings" in the future! ✌

The renowned artist Luis Miguel has decided not to extend his planned tour in Europe, (According to some media) beyond the Spanish territory, citing that the offers from promoters do not meet the artist's expected numbers. It's evident that in certain territories, artist fees cannot be met to the same extent as in others, such as Spain, where there is a stronger fan base. This implies that thousands of fans might miss the opportunity to see Luis Miguel perform, unless they are willing to travel to Spain to attend his shows. It's noteworthy that the offers are not viable for the artist, and we respect that. However, it's evident that the current business model is not working equitably. We aim to introduce a new model where such decisions are eliminated, and artists can perform in any country worldwide with fair compensation, ensuring that every fan has the opportunity to see their favorite artists. 🚒🚀💡

Here are the details of the four recordings of the blind test dedicated to Schumann’s Warum op. 12 No. 3. Track 1: Daniel Barenboim. CD Deutsche Gramophone “Encores”, (2022), recorded in 2017. Piano Barenboim, by Chris Maene https://lnkd.in/d7jvSC9B Track 2: Claudio Arrau. CD Decca (originally released in LP by Philips), recorded in 1973. Piano Steinway. https://lnkd.in/d4R_KGjd Track 3: Francesca Antonucci, student concert at Conservatorio Rovigo, live recording, 28/5/2024. Piano Boesendorfer VC 280. https://lnkd.in/dfsAjyWM Track 4: Murray Perahia, CD SONY (originally released in LP by CBS), recorded in 1972. Piano Steinway https://lnkd.in/dpV3UAVg Many of you probably already recognized Arrau’s famous recording, as well as Perahia’s early recording. Barenboim’s recent CD is lesser known, and also particularly interesting for the use of the Barenboim straight-strung piano. The “outsider” was the young Italian pianist (19 years old) Francesca Antonucci, a student of mine at the Conservatorio di Rovigo, who played this piece in a student concert last May 28. This experiment also intends to compare, without labels, young performers with great interpreters, also to stimulate the listeners’ curiosity and to encourage young performers in continuing their musical research and sharing their achievements. #blindtestresults #robertoprosseda

Proud of this paper based on my dissertation published in M@n@gement. We (with Eric Remy & 🎥 Baptiste Cléret) have ventured outside the field of consumer research into strategy and organization theory with this socio-historical investigation of the emergence and evolution of the alternative category of independent music 🎶 This should be of interest to researchers interested in market system dynamics as it has significant overlaps with other market-focused traditions such as the sociology of markets and category studies (which we used in this research) but also researchers interested in alternative/mainstream dynamics, alternative markets and cultures.

Another excellent agenda announced today for the ALBUM 2024 Conference. I’m very intrigued by the main focus this year:- “ALBUM’s theme this year is Moving On Up and brings together thought leaders, experts, and enthusiasts passionate about revolutionising the bus sector. Our conference aims to provide a platform for exchanging ideas, sharing insights and discovering ground breaking solutions.” I do hope that the reference to “enthusiasts” might include bus enthusiasts. Whilst the views of operators, bus user forums, councils, politicians, manufacturers, transport planners and environmental experts are extremely important, so are the observations from bus enthusiasts/historians many of whom will remember what worked well and what didn’t over the years. Individuals within the industry come and go fairly regularly and often decisions are taken which might go against sound reasoning that came before. The knowledge of these impartial “experts in the field” could often lead to some interesting suggestions or debate. The sharing of insights and considering new innovative ideas is most definitely the way forward and this event will I’m sure be an excellent opportunity to listen to speakers and widely network to spark off new plans for the future.

There are 2 major ABBA events running in London currently, this one below at the O2 and ABBA Voyage. ABBA Voyage is a virtual concert residency featuring virtual avatars, depicting the group as they appeared in 1979, and utilise the songs' re-recorded vocals. ABBA Voyage has contributed £322.6 million (approx. $408m) in turnover to the London economy in its first year of operation (between May 2022 and May 2023). According to a new analysis of the concert series’ first-year socio-economic impact on London and the local community. ABBA Voyage sees digital versions of ABBA perform seven times a week in their own purpose-built 3,000-capacity ABBA Arena in East London.
