Reviews
“This volume unpacks the changing role of the artist in the "new" music industries of the digital age. Based on empirical work in Australia, the volume lays down challenges for artists, industry and educators alike suggesting that they all need to rethink how they work. Based on new research by experienced practitioners this volume stakes its claim as a "must read" for those who wish to understand both the music industries and those working within them.” (Professor Martin Cloonan, University of Glasgow, UK)
“The New Music Industries is an excellent contribution to our understanding of how digital disruption has shaped the music business. It provides a useful guide for students, academics, business professionals and all others who want to learn more about the new rules, structures and processes within the digital music industries.” (Professor Peter Tschmuck, University of Music and Performing Arts, Austria)
