The concept of the platform is to give artists the tools they need to create rich online albums. In this regard, not only can you upload high quality audio (aif, wav, flac, etc.: tracks will stream as MP3s but are available for download in full audio), but you can ALSO sell sheet music (pdf), neatly attached to the audio file, as well as videos.

A new National Endowment of the Arts study has looked back into the data from the 2008 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts. Expanding the definition from "benchmark" activities (like going to the opera) to the creation and viewing of art or art-related content digitally has yielded a radically different picture of American's relationship to the arts.

The major question of the 21st century "is whether human beings can summon the integrity ... to resist the many ways in which computers will encroach on human dignity."

Mari Boine Idjagiedas Music can touch on strings you might not know you had. It can provide meaning, but it can also create moments which cant be defined. Moments which go to your core, that touch some sort of primal instinct, and that put you in a trancelike condition.

The direct-to-fan space is crowded, and that means more options for artists. But it looks like a number of companies are just starting to specialize around different types of artists - an early sign of maturation among competitors.

Artist, musician, teacher, inventor and founder of Scientific American magazine, Rufus Porter, thought well ahead of his time. Porter (1792-1884) began his artistic life as a painter of portraits. Later he painted the murals that have made him famous. He painted what he knew — landscapes depicting the farms around Bridgton, Maine, his childhood home, and seaport scenes of Portland, Maine, where he lived and studied as a young man.
Porter patented inventions that were useful in the home (a churn and cheese press) and out (a life preserver). The patent for his revolving rifle cylinder, sold to Samuel Colt, revolutionized the munitions industry. He designed and promoted airships that would fly people across the continent, although they were never built. He founded the Scientific American magazine in 1845, to encourage innovation in American arts and sciences.

During Composers Forums at Walden, students present their improvisational or compositional works in a concert setting. Forums are overseen by an independent moderator who leads a discussion of each piece with students, faculty, and the audience. The emphasis on creative work at Walden is on process over product, and Forums provide a unique opportunity for musical and personal growth.

In recent years, much of the discussion in the field of generative art has focused on complex systems and agent-based algorithms. While these can produce intriguing results, our aim lies in developing simple, deterministic and traceable generative processes. These simple processes have the advantage of more control: as they are highly determinable, their output is predictable and can therefore be easily refined through subsequent adjustments. We aim to show that a single deterministic process can generate a heterogeneous set of forms with an astounding degree of complexity.
