Carl Jung

  • "The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purposes through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher sense - he is "collective man," a vehicle and moulder of the unconscious psychic life of mankind."

Thing 6: Web 2.0 | New Music Strategies

  • Your website is not a brochure — it’s a place where people gather and connect with you and with each other. No? Well, it should be.
  • Web 1.0 was a land of signposts, and very few destinations.

Thing 5: The Long Tail | New Music Strategies

  • The main point of Anderson’s article is that the internet enables the large number of non-hits to expand to the extent that they economically outweigh the hits. And, he argues, this is exactly what’s happened.


    In a sense, it’s all about physical space. In the offline environment, there’s only a certain amount of shelf space. Online, storage is not a problem. In traditional record shops and bookstores, only the most popular items can be offered. Online, far more things can be made available, and that raises some issues.

  • The real reason the major record labels are experiencing problems is not the issue of piracy or filesharing. It’s that they no longer have only to compete with other hits. Now they have to compete with a range of choice that is exponentially greater than anything they’ve ever come across. The age of the hit is over.

Thing 4: Customise

  • In fact, the website should communicate you and what you do. More importantly, it should do it in such a way that your target audience has the perceptions about you that you would like them to have.
  • Your music company is unlike any other. You do things others do not. You deliberately avoid things others do. If nothing else, your music (at least hopefully) says something unique. Having a cookie cutter website does that no justice at all.
