We knew Spotify was a danger to music — gutting a fragile economy with its greed-based platform.
Now CEO Daniel Ek is chairman of Helsing, a deadly AI war machine he invested $700M in — money made off subscribers and artists.
Are you still listening to Spotify?

Stravinsky defined a new time—literally—with his shifting sense of motion and modalities. This week, we celebrate his birthday. Even in this new century, we still hold his music as a door that leads us forward into a future of possibilities.

Why classical music has gone from 5% of the business to less than 1% over the past 50+ years has a lot to do with the receding tide of arts education. This is true even in Europe, and only countered by what we see in Asia. Read the article “Pianos Anyone?” Free - link in bio.

People News: Beethoven Obsession

Bruckner was present when Beethoven's body was exhumed. When officials opened the coffin, Bruckner grabbed Beethoven's skull, held it, and kissed it. He was then forcibly removed.
Happy 254 - and still going strong!

If we think about Bach as a marker in music, as in BB/AB, Beethoven was born only 20 years after the death of Bach. Imagine all that innovation that happened in those few years, not the least of whom came Mozart, born only half a dozen years AB.
