Zoe Keating is one of my favorite musicians. If you haven't listened, Imagine if someone was playing the Game of Thrones theme on a Cello, solo. She incorporates tech into her act in wildly impressive ways.
This is a refreshingly level-headed blog post. There are pros and cons, but it's all presented as realistic tension between two creative organizations, each of which provides value (One having more leverage, of course).
It's just such a nice break from the over-the-top demonization of the tech/corporate partner and ignoring the value they provide.

- qntmfred 12y agoI went to see her live last week. I had only been vaguely aware of her before then, but I came away really really enjoying her work. She also mentioned during the performance that before she started playing full time she used to be a programmer, which was very cool. And totally not surprising given her very creative use of technology in her music. Also apparent in her writing as her understanding and insight of Youtube Music's technology and business model is on point.
- darkmethod 12y agoThe creativity in her work is inspiring. Also, I really enjoyed her Wired interview (she mentions her previous career as a programmer). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TTX0ryyoac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TTX0ryyoac
