Sup ppl
Man aint been here for a very long time
been finishing up a 4 year old project...just putting final touches to it
glad i'm done
For those who down with stats; you know that world wide music sales are still down 8% (that's from about US$39 billion to US$2.9 billion), Although SA is up 2%, at the time we are at, and the level of quality of our music we should have been doing much more better (comparing the music to before 1996). Partly to blame was the big recording companies because of slow reaction to consumers' preference of digital music to CDs. Now that the Big 4 are awake, we've seen a lot of new experimental music delivery methods emerge since 2006. e.g BEBO, eMusic, Spiralfrog, Omnifone, etc...
We've built a delivery method that we believe should work to force sales and music promotion to go up (took about a year of research and 7 months coding/programming).
When i personally started putting the project together officially in 2005, it was just about getting SA music (mainly hip hop) to other continents but soon had to shut the project down (after getting contacts in Japan, all over Europe, US and Africa) because i realized there was more to the problem and i've been working on a music delivery system/method that i believe should be fair to consumers, artists, and broadcasting stations and we've finally put together something that will work for all under the music control Laws we currently have in place (Was difficult cause the old model laws do not work so much anymore, slowing growth down). There are a couple of imbalance(s) in the whole industry that we've been addressing with the project.
Anywho...I'm currently busy with a survey, just trying to find out from artists, recording companies, consumers and broadcasting station managers if they think the project is something they will support and if there are improvements that we'll have to be done immediately.
So please be kind enough to send me PM so i can send you a summary of the project for you to go through and let me know what you think of it.
