> THE MP3 PHENOMENA AND INNOVATIVE MUSIC

>
> Overview:
> How is quickly downloadable sound directly from the
> internet changing the availability of innovative
> music? This article, intended for a general audience
> that may or may not be "net savvy," opens with an
> overview of the MP3 compression format and how it
> works. Other sound compression formats are also
> discussed, including the free-proprietary player and
> encoder from Vorbis. An anonymous focus group of
> Napster participants reveal how file-sharing is
> expanding the audience for innovative music. A survey
> of artists on MP3.com gives insights into new
> international online communities of innovative artists
> that reach their audiences without reliance on
> traditional methods. Interviews with internet radio
> programs show how webcasting allows innovative music
> to leave local boundaries. Three pieces of internet
> sound-art are assessed concerning their effectiveness
> at using sound-compression and the internet to
> redefine the roles of composers, performers and
> audiences. The final chapter explains obstacles for
> the distribution of innovative music on the internet
> and how the new opportunities opened up by MP3 will
> quickly disappear if corporate music business
> practices are not regulated in the public interest
> and/or alternative approaches are not developed that
> bypass corporate control.
