“The music industry can be defined as the organisation of the various activities associated with performing and recording music and distributing access to those performances around the world. Because the basis of music production is accessible to everyone with a modicum of talent, the industry is both more ‘open’ than filmmaking and less easily controllable than traditional broadcast television. This has led to a longstanding institutional difference between small and ‘independent’ music organisations and a large corporate mainstream.”
- Stafford suggests it consists of a worldwide production, distribution and consumption.
- More open-more freedom and access
- not financially draining
- les controllable-freedom-not regulated
- Music Industry divided by the type of record labels/institutions.
- Main Stream: Big Four: Sony, Universal, Warner Bros., EMI
- Stafford suggests the idea of a global village, where it has become easier to create music due to technology, so musical ability is no longer required.
