Music markets

Fernando’s Desk is reflecting on the changing face of music marketing, and in doing so links to some fascinating pieces — including this artist, who has decided to release his music for free to build listeners for it. Fernando reminds us, as did The Cluetrain Manifesto, that markets are conversations — so we need to build conversations. That’s precisely what I hope the OSRR project will do! Speaking of which, we’re about to release the request for proposals, and will be looking for good names for the site.
