Make great music. Give it away for free (or streaming, which is near the same). Charge a lot for live concerts. I'd just assumed that musicians would have figured that out by now.
- StringyBob 11y agoThe 'free' bit has already happened for a lot of artists (income is gone). The second part 'charge a lot for live music' is happening - those who can are try to compensate (i.e. make a living). Having just paid over $100 for a concert ticket, I don't think live music becoming only the preserve of the rich helps.
- intrasight 11y agoI expect that we will soon see some "hybrid" approaches. VR/AR tech comes to mind. I would have liked to have seen the Stones last night, but $200-400 for a ticket was more than I could justify. But if I could watch in comfort from my home holodeck, then I'd certainly have been willing to pay $50.
