Beneath the Surface of Music and Technology
About
Music Tectonics
The ground beneath the music industry has shifted. Tech-fueled earthquakes have been shaking the music industry for some time now, creating dramatic new landscapes—and opportunities to serve artists at the intersection of music, technology, and business.
​
Music Tectonics, brainchild of PR firm Rock Paper Scissors, explores this junction with a conference, podcast, and blog.
