4. Why do you think that some performers find it easier to start on YouTube than through the traditional music industry?
5. What do you think the next big change in the technology of music will be?
1. An example of an earworm that stays with me is "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake. The catchy beat and uplifting lyrics make it hard to get out of your head and easy to sing along to.
2. A place where I hear rhythm that is not music is at a construction site. The repetitive sounds of hammers, drills, and machinery create a rhythmic pattern that can be quite mesmerizing in its own unique way.
3. A booming economy would help with the development of a new genre like Rock and Roll by providing more opportunities for musicians to create and share their music. With increased disposable income, people would be more likely to attend concerts, buy albums, and support up-and-coming artists in the genre.
4. Some performers find it easier to start on YouTube than through the traditional music industry because of the accessibility and global reach of the platform. By uploading their music videos and performances online, artists can quickly build a fan base without the need for expensive recording contracts or promotional campaigns.
5. The next big change in the technology of music is likely to be the further integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms. These technologies have already been used to analyze trends in music consumption, create personalized playlists, and even generate new musical compositions. As AI continues to advance, we can expect to see more innovative applications in areas such as music production, composition, and collaboration.
