Pablo Picasso - Three Musicians, or Musicians in Masks

Pablo Picasso-Musicians in Masks

This article is related to the Shooting stars post (the first entry in our blog section) which was focused more on the technological booming, how this has affected the mass media production and the role of globalization in music (click here for related posts). Today I will try to outline how the record label system targets its audience based on the marketing rules and how music is used by the mass media instead being an independent medium of free expression.

The last century was crucial for the evolution of music. Several styles and sub-styles were created (pop, rock, metal, rap) however is this healthy for music today? Perhaps we have gone too far with all the labels we give to the different music styles. They are certainly useful in order to categorize the different sounds and name the different ways of expression but sticking to that is unacceptable, and as I will try to show, it is one of the ways the labels use to sell as much as possible.

The_Venus_Project_by_SmokesQuantityA few months ago we found out about the Venus Project which indeed is something unique. I am sure a lot of people have been informed about it, some maybe not. The Venus project is an organization with main goals the change of the social and political establishment to a new, higher life-system which is based on the most important human ideal, freedom and social development based on the positive endeavours of technology.

The Venus Project (V.P.) first identifies the root of the problem: money is used to control the behavior and life of those with limited purchasing power. The Earth is being plundered for profit. The humans could have access to everything thanks to the technology and if that could be used in a positive way, there can be massive changes to the whole human society. Using technology, for example, people can travel easily and quickly thanks to magnet trains that can be constructed. How about traveling in 3 hours from London to Beijing with a speed of 3.000 km/ h? No fuel, no gas, more eco-friendly houses while using technology we could have almost everything without spending massive working hours doing something that does not make us happy. For example, no one would have to work in the factories, the machines would do almost everything while work could be a free choice and not a demand for survival.

fame_movie_image__2_There were a lot of discussions in this blog regarding the relationship between artists and record companies and generally how the show business works today.

In summary we have supported that the record companies restrict the artists a lot and the way the music is promoted today is different than 30 or 40 years before, more competitive but there are alternative ways for the artists.

Here I would like to give some tips of what the new artists can do in order to have their own career in music.
