THE CONVERGENCE MANIFESTO ARE WE READY FOR CONVERGENCE? Tapping Into the New Value of Music

e have now reached the age of total convergence between the creative industries and digital technology. This crucial tipping point is a unique opportunity for the music industry to leverage, right now!

Once an industry buzzword, convergence is now an inevitable reality. And, once again, music is at the forefront of this ground shift. Every day, new business models, online services or connected devices disrupt consumers’ habits while bringing additional revenue opportunities for music makers, rights owners and promoters. At Midem, we are ready to embrace this change. In an era where we all consider ourselves ‘digital by default’, the time has come for new collaborations between creative industries and digital technology. As the value of music is being reshaped, let’s gear up for convergence and get ahead of the game. Join us on this exciting new journey and surf the new wave of convergence!

In today’s competitive creative markets, are artists’ managers in charge of artists’ development? Are we witnessing a transfer of risks, both entrepreneurial and financial, towards the manager? Are managers the new entrepreneurs, setting up and managing labels, publishing companies, organising tours for up-andcoming new acts? This session will spotlight the new challenges that the artists’ managers are facing in this new 360° business model.

ARMENIAN FOOD & DRINKS, LIVE MUSIC, NON-STOP PARTY & NETWORKING presented by Armenia Country of Honour

At a time when subscription services are adding users faster than ever, press reports continue to indicate dissatisfaction with royalty payments and the transparency in the money flow to creators. Berklee’s Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship (BerkleeICE) is releasing the results of a year long study about these issues, in Phase One of a multi-year attempt by its Rethink Music initiative to resolve some of them. Where is the money really going? Can a decentralized copyright registry really solve some of the problems, and how might it be built? What role could cryptocurrencies and blockchain play in enabling payments?

Music is becoming a utility - available everywhere you want it, as much as you want, for a monthly subscription or paid for by advertising. But is the distribution of streaming revenues aligned with the value of an individual subscriber? Per-user vs. prorata income distribution from on-demand streaming services will be evaluated against the available literature and discussed in the context of providing a living wage to mid-level career artists as music streaming services attempt to scale. This session will also look into market growth through hi-definition audio sales (streaming and download), and evaluate new business ideas that show revenue promise for the future.

Four different sections of the federal government – the Department of Commerce, the US Copyright Office, Congress & the Department of Justice – are independently reviewing these laws, with updates expected in 2015 and beyond. Join the key stakeholders in this debate for a lively discussion on the impact of such legislative developments.

Release of Jean Christophe Moroni’s new album.

In association with IMPALA/WIN

Speakers: Christof Ellinghaus, CEO, City Slang (Germany) Mark Kitcatt, Founder, Everlasting Records (Spain) Nuno Saraiva, Vice-President, AMAEI (Portugal) @nunosaraiva Kees Van Weijen, Managing Partner, PIAS Rough Trade distribution Benelux (Netherlands) Moderator: Dick Huey, Founder, Toolshed (USA) @dhuman In a fragmented European music market, we are coming across more and more tales of artists who have “moved out” and discovered greater success abroad than at home. What do these artists have that enable them to cross cultural barriers and why do they seek to leave and move their career forward abroad? Is it because record labels change their approach when working in different territories or with foreign artists? Representatives of indie record labels from all over Europe will come together to swap success stories from these well-travelled artists who found gold and glory where they sometimes least expected it.

ARNAUD DE PUYFONTAINE

Founder & CEO, Fon (Spain) @martinvars

The Living Room of the 21st Century Whereas the living room was once dominated by the stereo and the TV, which were enjoyed by all simultaneously, the appearance of smartphones and tablets in the 21st century has greatly disrupted this paradigm, fragmenting families as each member now enjoys their own personal content. Martin Varsavsky will demonstrate that there is still a longing amongst family and friends to enjoy common experiences, and that this swing to individualism will revert back to a combination of personal and social experiences, driven by new technologies such as the Gramofon, Sonos, Apple TV and Chromecast.

However, recent findings show that BRIC countries are only reaping 1 to 6% of GDP from their creative sector while other countries around the world are seeing double-digit figures. In view of these findings, an action plan has been deployed to unlock the potential of creative industries in these regions. Find out what’s being done to incentivise creativity and related economic activity in these high-potential countries.

The Convergence of Artistry and Experience Brian Solis studies disruptive technology and digital anthropology. He’s also an artist who has spent time with some of music’s biggest stars. In his presentation, he will explore the evolution of the music business, the relationship between artist and fan and also the changing dynamics in the value of music. Ranging from iTunes to Spotify to the decline of album sales, he will share the sweet musical notes of convergence and the future of music.

Milena Fessmann, CEO, Cinesong (Germany)

Conventional thinking states that you need a good idea in order to start a company, though most entrepreneurs will admit that you need to start a company in order to get a good idea. Not unlike starting a band in order to come up with that first great song. This course will explore to uncanny similarities between musical and entrepreneurial creation, such as collaboration, iteration, observation, as well as prototyping and improvisation. Is there more to successful entrepreneurship than well researched business plans and financial models? Perhaps it’s not surprising that some of the world’s best known companies like Microsoft, Apple, Dropbox, AOL and Pandora were founded by musicians.
