Streaming

in-house amplifications of shame can incline and veer, even careen people off into a lowered horizon/felt lowered status. https://lnkd.in/enNqt9RS Putting people in their place, as streaming has been the dominant categorical imperatives of norm governance. Large swathes of our knowledge is profoundly dull and lifeless, and even self-righteous moralising, and hardly surprising that shamed people pick on and adapt these purist rhetorical devices. Not good enough https://lnkd.in/enNqt9RS https://lnkd.in/e9V_zAjh

Stimulating and mind-boggling lecture! The impact for the Funds investing in music might be as important as the internet was 20 years ago for the industry and delivered streaming. Not only for lawyers! Watch the full lecture here: https://lnkd.in/eYizpDts

Friday's Song: Tramonto "Tramonto" is Italian for sunset, but also means end of a dream, an empire, a phase of life, or a life. I think this song captures the intended feeling of watching something dear to you fade. Not my best piano playing, but sometimes simple is good. Give it a spin on your platform of choice; like, follow , share, repost, and enjoy ... yada yada yada https://lnkd.in/ePw5jG5x https://lnkd.in/eNjJUutW

Proud to share that my song, “What Fills The Gap” crossed the milestone of 3M streams on Spotify today. https://lnkd.in/gXT_hfx7 What a synchronistic kick off to the week of the launch of its creative and spiritual successor, “Which Way Is North”. Both of these projects are what I would call “art as portal”. After I released “What Fills The Gap”, it opened what I could best describe as a portal…that has brought ongoing human connections that keep teaching me the importance of making art. Having something to say is only half of it. Being fortunate enough to have the world talk back, that is the other (better) half. Even today, a decade later, I have had the unexpected joy of people still reaching out to me every week or so to tell me this song somehow changed their life - inspiring them to change careers, or move homes, or awaken their spiritual curiosity. I’ve even had authors and painters tell me they played this song on repeat while creating their work. What a gift to treasure each of those messages have been. This is also the song that front-paged multiple times on Reddit and in doing so taught me the power of community that I unexpectedly built my career off of. How strange. How doubly strange that this song would announce itself with a milestone like this on this week. The clock has struck 12 and the portal opens again. Here’s to hoping “Which Way Is North” does all the same and more. #creativity #art #spirituality #music #spotify

Searching for Winnetou. While we as Canadians are trying to reconcile our own understanding of our indigenous peoples (the abuses by our colonizing forefathers); far away in Germany an inaccurate story is unfolding. This story began with Karl May (1890) the author of a series of books that were popular for an early developing German population. May wasn’t indigenous and had never been near any indigenous people of North America. He made up these erroneous depictions of indigenous peoples. Completely inaccurate fiction. Is this cultural appropriation or appreciation? Most Canadian would consider it cultural appropriation and racist. Hobbiest in Germany strangely considered it appreciation. Watch and see the many perspectives of this story.

Arts & Culture Partnerships: Beauty & MrBeast Last month was a unique moment in Sydney Opera House history. We don’t normally do product activations on the Forecourt, but this wasn’t an ordinary ask. MrBeast is the most viewed person on the Planet, Gen Z’s ‘Oprah Winfrey’, who also appeared on the Opera House Forecourt giving things away, but that was 10-years ago! MrBeasts swift rise has been spurred by massive changes in the media landscape where individuals have replaced institutions as the gatekeepers of entertainment and information. Credit: Time Magazine. MrBeasts event provided a unique opportunity to embody the Opera House mission of being ‘Everyone’s House,’ by attracting a Gen Z audience, hosting a free public event, and generating partnership revenue to continue fulfilling our strategy. Other brands typically pay between US$2.5 million to $3 million for a MrBeast shout-out, and running an ad before one of his videos is similarly costly (Time Magazine). Thus, not only did the Opera House benefit financially, but we also gained by association. While exposure is not the Opera Houses primary need, demonstrating that it is a place for 'Everyone' and raising funds so we can continue to do so, is a priority.

The concept of sound emanating from a plastic box still fascinates me.
