A&R vs. A.I.

A&R vs. A.I.: The digital revolution in the consumption of music provides enormous amounts of data for the record companies. In this debate, we will discuss different approaches to working with discovery and development of new artists, both by utilizing the data and in spite of it. Learn about what data can and can’t be used for, and how the A&Rs influence the final musical product in 2019.

Fremtidens musikformidling – algoritmernes smag?

Stort set alt musik er tilgængeligt, men hvordan finder den almindelige musiklytter netop det, hun gerne vil lytte på? Hvordan opøver man musklen, der gør at man kan finde den fede musik, den nye musik?

Streamingtjenesterne er gået fra at være kulturelle mellemled til at være kulturelle autoriteter på højde med bibliotekarer, radioværter og anmeldere. Panelet vil på den baggrund diskutere fremtidens musiklytning.
