What's more, I call to all
musicians reading this right now to
record independently! With modern
equipment, it is possible to
compose and
record your own
music at extremely
high quality, and at very low
cost. Further, as
streaming technologies mature, it will become easier and easier to use an independent
distribution model. This is what the
recording industry is really afraid of. They know that the last
obstacle to independent publishing was the difficulty of distribution. With new technology, this obstacle no longer exists. They can no longer
strangle musicians with unfair
contracts. We are free at last--use it!
ameoba: "independent recording" doesn't mean you do it in a garage. It simply means that you don't go through the major media conglomerates (Sony, Time-Warner-AOL, etc.) for distribution and promotion.
