Second-Life and the future of the Music Industry April 10-12, 2009
Temple University, Japan Campus, 2009
With a fantastic group of students, I am conducting field work and experimental research in the virtual world of SecondLife, to identify future business opportunities for the music industry - something it's well in need of. Watch this space for more, very soon.
Joint work with: Scott Lockman (Temple University, Japan Campus)

Aucouturier explains:"The music industry is in crisis — you’ve heard the news. But in the virtual world of Second Life, an alternative music economy is emerging. Already, real musicians are making a living by playing exclusively in Second Life, and music labels and clubs of a new kind are created every week. We have spent months researching the new musical trends in Second Life, and we’re bringing them to you in the form of snapshots, sounds, videos, interviews, and more. Come discover what music could become in the next 10 years."

HOW DO YOU DO… MODERN MUSIC
I AM THE MUSIC MAN, I CAME FROM ROUND THE BEND
All hail, our music industry speaks about the scourge, the scourrrge of pirates. "Without compensation the creators livelihood is unsustainable." What the gentlemen I think means is that because lots of us are doing things that are easier (getting music from our computers) and not spending money (e.g. sharing the music). Musicians are literally dying of champagne dehydration unable to scale cocaine ski slopes, in blood diamond ski suits to laud over us and lose their musical inspiration in vain veins of self-absorption, v.i.piss holes of Lady Thatch, and concurrent clinical holidays on manors in tax havens while we sit at home, skint. Oh the humanity. What will happen? It’s like the music industry has tried to fear monger whilst appearing a poor and blistered cultural social asset, orphaned from cutting edge consumption yet still being a billion pound, sue happy, die-cast empire. It wants to be everything, ever.
