When Mark Mulligan of MIDiA Research opened the first annual Music Tectonics Conference in October in Los Angeles, he lobbed visions from the future into the audience. His unique mix of trendspotting, economic analysis, and prediction is now available on the latest episode of the Music Tectonics podcast! Find out what “peak attention” means for the music biz. Why are mobile games the canary in the digital coalmine? How has the role of music in youth culture changed, from Teddy Boys to TikTok? How is the digital music market like the gold rush, and who is holding the picks and shovels?
Listen in as Mark explores fault lines in the recorded music industry, from "Music Like Fire" to "Self-Driving Artists," a seismic shift he thinks will be even bigger than streaming. What are the "seismic shifts" we keep talking about? Our Seismic Shift Trading Cards distill the biggest music biz upheavals into a fun visual format for sparking conversation. Attendees at the inaugural Music Tectonics Conference had the chance to trade and collect all 18 limited edition trading cards.
