How Does Music Technology Affect The Development Of Popular Music
Introduction
In this paper I am going to examine the use of one technological innovation that has an impact on the development of popular music. I will describe the development and impact of the Internet of popular music.
Following Shapiro and Varian (1999) the development of music technology can be characterized by several aspects such as consumption, production and distribution.
Technology influences the demand for music to be extended including costs and similar variations. The role of demand is exemplified by Klym’s (2005) invention by consuming music over network devises.
According to Shapiro and Varian (1999), the production of music is characterized by high initial costs with the comparison to low reproduction costs. Technology innovation …show more content…
Technologies associated with a piece of music as a creative mix which is called ‘production’. Technologies that make production possible to access music are called ‘distribution’. Finally, technologies which are associated with listening to music are characterized as ‘consumption’ (McCurry 2009).
Music must cross paths with the listener, to become commercially successful. In order to succeed, records need to be presented in the publications and retail outlets. The internet brings a new wave to advertise the music. According to Bylin (2010), musical culture is formed online. The listeners are able to develop their taste and decide what they want to listen. Jones (2002) wrote: …new…technologies, particularly the Internet, create new territorializations of space and of affect.

With the creation of the internet, now we have new options to work with music.
Since 1970 the computers were used in popular music as an instrument for producing music and as a recording platform. The usage of computer as a music production tool has developed from music processor – Fairlight Computer Musical Instrument and Alfa Syntauri systems (Besson 2012).
With the advanced computer technology music is accessed in many ways that was not possible even some years ago. The catalogs of different artists and genres of music become available on the Internet.
We can collaborate with people across the world, which gives the advantage for creating new sounds. Because of the Internet we have an opportunity to consume a great variety of streams and torrents of music (Moisio 2011).
There are plenty of social networks such as Sound cloud, where anyone can listen to music as well as decide to work with. With the help of computer one can produce, record and upload music without an organizational group or record label managers
