The difference in 2018 is that these demands never stop. Three decades ago, there was a limit to how many in-store appearances Tower Records could fit into its shops, while radio and TV stations were APPETITE FOR limited by strict time slots. But in the digital age, where spatial limits are a thing of the past, there’s little stopping DSPs like CONSUMPTION Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon from packing their platforms with exclusive extra content as they tussle over subscriber numbers. But artists, managers and labels alike are feeling the strain. They spoke to us about the tough realities of this – but only on the condition of anonymity. “This is one of the most important issues in the business right now and one of the biggest conversations we are having in our company around any release,” one international marketer tells music:)ally. “Everyone wants something that is exclusive to them.” For overworked labels and managers, weighing up the constant demands from the drain and strain of making digital platforms for exclusive content is an extra headache to be negotiated.

Records on June 29th, and is available for pre-order now with two instant grat songs, “Humility” and “Lake Zurich.” The Now Now is 11 all-new songs from the World’s Most Successful Virtual Act*, produced by Gorillaz, with James Ford and Remi Kabaka, and recorded entirely at Studio 13, London in February this year. In contrast to the cast of characters that joined the apocalyptic party thrown by Damon Albarn and his cartoon crew on last year’s multiple-GRAMMY-nominated HUMANZ , The Now Now sees the band largely eschewing guest stars, taking it back to the core Gorillaz crew: blue- haired, sweet-natured dreamer 2D on vocals; whip-smart Japanese badass Noodle on guitar; Brooklyn-born philosopher and the meat–behind-the-beat Russel Hobbs on drums. And with Murdoc Niccals temporarily indisposed, bass duties on the new album have been taken up by erstwhile Gangreen Gang member Ace (explaining the “FREE MURDOC” signage that’s been popping up everywhere from Coachella to the Kentucky Derby to Change.org and Reddit).

  • Goryle Na Scenie
    Hologramy i death metal w serialu. Dethklok wydał do tej pory cztery albumy i wyrusza w re- gularne trasy koncertowe. W odróżnieniu od wcześniejszych grup animowanych mamy możliwość obserwowania równoczesnej obec- ności zespołu w przestrzeni wirtualnej i w świecie rzeczywistym. Decyzją członków zespołu fikcyjni muzycy nazywają się inaczej niż autentyczni artyści, co powoduje, że wzajemna relacja pomiędzy bo- haterami animowanymi a ludźmi nie jest tak silna i skomplikowana. Tak prezentuje się historia zespołów animowanych mniej więcej do początku XXI wieku. W większości przypadków możemy mówić o zabawie formą, ale w mniejszym stopniu o krytycznych projek- tach somatycznych. To dopiero eksperyment dwójki Brytyjczyków: Damona Albarna i Jamiego Hewletta stał się początkiem rzeczywi- stego życia muzyków animowanych, a grupę Gorillaz należy uważać za pierwszy na świecie pełnoprawny zespół wirtualny. Goryle na scenie W marcu 2001 roku w londyńskim klubie Scala grupa Gorillaz dała swój pierwszy koncert na żywo. Nie byłoby w tym wydarzeniu nic wyjątkowego, gdyby nie fakt, że był to zespół stworzony wyłącznie z animowanych postaci. Grupę Gorillaz tworzą: 2-D (wokal i key- board), Noodle (gitara akustyczna), Murdoc Niccals (gitara basowa) oraz Russel Hobbs (perkusja). To czterech członków grupy, którzy w 1998 roku wzbudzili poruszenie na brytyjskiej podziemnej scenie muzyki alternatywnej. Za projektem stoją jednak rzeczywiste posta- cie brytyjskiej sceny artystycznej – muzyk Damon Albarn i twórca komiksów Jamie Hewllet. Zanim jednak dokładniej opowiem o tej wyjątkowej kolaboracji, to pozostanę jeszcze przez chwilę w świecie Gorillaz i przytoczę fikcyjne początki animowanych muzyków, któ- re zostały zawarte w autobiografiiRise of the Ogre. Muszę jednak przestrzec czytelnika, że posługiwanie się rozróżnieniem na fikcję i autentyzm w przypadku Gorillaz jest odrobinę nieuzasadnione.

Increasingly the lines between what is a “mix” and what is ew things in the modern music business are as confusingly named as the mixtape: an album are blurring – but this allows artists the freedom to experiment and collaborate more F they’re not tapes, for a start, and most of without a mixtape being dissected like an album proper. We look at the ways they can work them aren’t actually mixed. In fact, defining what mixtapes are in 2017 is probably harder best, how they should connect with fans, just how liberating they can be (for artist and to pinpoint than what they aren’t. marketing team) and why they don’t always have to be given away for free. But let’s try: mixtapes are a group of songs, typically from a rapper or R&B act, that are intended as a coherent piece of work but which exist without the weight of expectation of “an album”, allowing the artist to experiment, bring in outside collaborators and – if the mixtape is free – sample with less of an eye towards lawyers’ fees. Mixtapes are often stopgaps, filling the space between album releases, or used to introduce an artist to the world, and they are predominantly digital releases.
