the future of music { 2 }
i just read a cool blog post about how r.e.m. has open sourced 11 videos for a song off their new album to encourage listeners to remix the videos and share them on r.e.m.’s youtube page.
this is pretty exciting to hear, not necessarily because i want to participate, but because music is going more visual and interactive. this is something i’ve been predicting for quite some time. and incidentally, it coincides with our plans to market the music we have been producing.
these days people want an all encompassing experience… touching on as many senses as possible. so we’re working on integrating sound, sight and touch into our promotional materials to fulfill those desires and give the end user a new and unique way to experience our music. the days of passing out mix tapes and cd’s are over.
Sebby, I miss you more than a fat kid loves cake. With that said, I can’t wait to hear what you have produced!
That’s too bad, because I love a good mix tape. Especially one that starts with “I Want to Be Your Man” and ends with “Computer Love.” Might as well just dupe Zapp & Roger’s entire catalogue and send it on over.
