Once upon a time music wasn’t a thing. You couldn’t have a music collection; saying you had a music collection would be like saying you have a memory collection. You couldn’t tell someone to stop singing your song because it was yours. You couldn’t hear a song unless you had the talent to reproduce it yourself or knew someone who did.
Music was a reflection of the culture and it belonged to us all.
Over time it evolved and our culture stopped admiring the beauty within the community, distracted by the global stage’s contrived amusement park. There’s been a major shift thanks to technology however and I think we’re going to see music in a new light again and in a very significant way. I’m not referring to styles or genres, but distribution and ownership. Now that the cost of production has decreased significantly and distribution has become more a concept shrouded more in legalities than resources most of the powers that be can no longer justify their costs. As they charge less the bubble shrinks and so it will continue until it is “right-sized”.
We’re going into a day where artists will become less like royalty and back into the interesting people you happen to see in the streets. Local acts will glow brighter as the overblown supernovas burnout with the artificial medium they rode in on. Music will belong to us all again, or at least we’ll finally get back to knowing it.
