“Contemporary music-making really equates to music production, to the collating and curating of people, references, sounds and effects.”
— ICONEYE in a review of noise-reducing headphones. (reblogged from Gbrl as well!)

“In the early 1920s, there were still some people in this country who hadn’t yet heard recorded music. Not many, but a few. That’s less than a hundred years ago. Your career as a ‘recording artist’ (quote/unquote) took place toward the end of a technological window that lasted less than a hundred years, a window during which consumers of recorded music lacked the means of producing that which they consumed. They could buy recordings, but they couldn’t reproduce them. [Insert Any Mildly Successful Late 90s Band Here] came in as that monopoly on the means of production was starting to erode. Prior to that monopoly, musicians were paid for performing, published and sold sheet music or had patrons. The pop star as we know her was actually an artifact of preubiquitous media… of a state in which ‘mass’ media existed, if you will, within the world.”
—William Gibson ([sic] Bigend)

…many involved in futures studies and transhumanism note the accelerating rate of scientific progress and anticipate a technological singularity in the 21st century that would profoundly and unpredictably change the course of human history.[2] Artist/futurist Michael E. Arth, for example, speculates about the emergence of a hive-like distributed being that would be self-conscious, integrated into a future version of the Internet, and also able to exhibit any individualized form, or speak any language. This collective intelligence, UNICE: Universal Network of Intelligent Conscious Entities, would connect everyone on the planet before it spreads outward into space.[3]
