An Evolvement Being Accepted By The Electronic Generation

Taking a deep look into the history of music industry, 
music has quite accordingly evolved with the time 
and generations. The music industry is in rollercoaster move for some time now. There are start-ups; plenty of young talented and aspiring artists who want take some smacks on chin. Before digitalisation age, artists only aim to gain fame was to get signed by a record label, but now artists have their own control, though some still prefer record labels. Before digitalisation studios were full of costly and heavy equipments and those were meant for producers and artists who have expertized knowledge. 
Now as the generation goes entirely digital there is no 
need to use expensive equipment and it gets easier 
for people to learn craft even if they don't have a bit of knowledge about the equipment. Music is one of the most beloved artistry crafts in the world. Its been around in the world more than before our civilization. It began in the way of songs, lyrics spoken in a melody but gradually musical instruments came to the course.Now a days technology impacts not only the instruments we play, but how we produce music and how we apprehend them.






The reason why most become musicians these days 
is because of live music and this will continue to be 
in the run though passion is playing the role of 
steering wheel here. There are various platforms 
available for artists to perform and share live music 
videos. Some prefer to do it through youtube or 
vevo, whereas some are now utilizing such 
platforms to engage with fans more.

Online broadcasts that allow people to connect to music everywhere and anytime is changing the music industry quickly and the way we relate to music. If you see it from the side of a record label, the music industry 
has slightly been diminished, but from listener's point of 
view it is opposite. With live streaming technologies and 
with an ever expanding amount of festivals year by year,
there is now more financial value in the artists performing than selling physically. We live in a growing era of shared community services and of the greatest features is the invention of program like Spotify. There is the basic advantage of spotify- if you and all your friends are members you can share more music through one platform. It can help in getting a wider fan base and be explored more. The benefit may not come directly but to be on more people's radar and it can be very tricky when planning the world tour.Spotify is not available in many countries, so streaming companies are making it possible for the most of the listeners to experience music and genres they hardly would have faced in the 20’s. Their music observation is broad and more 
omnipresent everywhere




The establishment of electronic music instrument has 
made it easier to produce sounds that was even out 
of our thoughts before. With the internet now, we 
have an infinite sources to learn music from. There 
are tutorials for everything. Whether we want to play 
a new instrument or we want to learn a particular 
variety of music such as house. You will find 
information to your learnings in the internet. It 
creates no meaning, if you are an amateur 
musician or a professional,internet is always there
for you to craft something new and the best part is 
they all are free of cost. Current technology 
makes it easier for a producer to produce their own 
music but if it is used perfectly then it can also help
a musician to promote themselves.




An important factor to be considered here is that 
social media introduced a new level of risk in the 
music business. It has always been critical to assume 
which song or artist will get success and which not.
Social media has been ingrained into most between 
streaming and internet radio platforms to allow for
 instant sharing between known members.
The use of data collected within the industry have a 
massive impact on the way artist and labels act.it has 
become a way of marketing and promotional efforts.
Thanks to twitter and facebook for giving power to 
artists to gather more data powering them 
to understand the audience in a better way. Data 
collected through youtube, spotify and other sources 
can tell artists where they should invest more time in 
touring.These tools can allow an artist/record label 
to play to sell out crowds and maximize their earning
on touring and music.


In 2020 there probably will still be a range of different 
models and services for acquiring and storing music and music listeners may continue to buy CDs. 
Live music performances and licensing of music will 
most likely constitute a bigger share of global music 
economy than today and the music business may 
move completely online. The most promising online 
model for music right now is the subscription model, 
where you pay monthly and get across to a large 
music collection, but many people may feel 
uncomfortable by having their favourite music 
psychologically but not owing it. According to me 
around 2020 people must have growned themselves 
to this way of listening to music, where access will be 
on peak than ownership.

Its upto the generation of musicians to take a call on 
the future of music production. Every new piece of 
technology may alter the business of music from time 
to time.. Now a days more music is being listened, 
sharing and selling than yesterday and its a trend 
not likely to stop. Its upto the musicians to decide 
the best possible way to get their music out for public 
view and a lot depend upon people´s social view 
towards that particular sound. Only time will tell whether 
the future of music will be guarded by streaming services 
or digital file sales(physical sale of albums) or something new.
