[A2k] Peter Jenner: Beyond The Soundbytes (Music Tank's Report)

[Manon Ress]

"Peter Jenner, the author of Beyond The Soundbytes (MusicTank's first
ever report), is one of the music business' great serial offenders,
with a 40 year career which encompasses putting on The Rolling
Stones' legendary free concert in Hyde Park, 1969, managing artists
from Pink Floyd to The Clash and Ian Dury, and more than fifteen
years managing Billy Bragg's career to date . Peter remains foremost
a champion of artists' rights worldwide and a prominent industry
voice - he is Secretary General of the IMMF (International Music
Managers Forum), and the Chairman of the ELMF (European Live Music
Forum). Since he started working life as a lecturer at the LSE his
analysis of the business has always been fascinating, and sometimes
controversial.

In composing this first ever review of MusicTank activity, Peter has
summed up of-the-moment Think Tank debates, from DRM usage to the
emerging possibilities of future radio, and has also taken this
opportunity to look beneath the immediate issues to unearth the
fundamental and seismic changes which new technology and new consumer
attitudes continue to affect within all areas of the business.

The main findings of the report, in terms of where the industry is
now, where it should be, and how it can get there, are summed up in
the freely available Executive Summary"
