7th January 2022,

We are kicking off 2022 with a two part One Step Ahead report on the impact of new technologies on the music industry! Part 1 is all about voice control, music recognition technology, creation tools and data tools.

IMPALA members can access the report here.

Part two will put the spotlight on the blockchain, NFTs, metaverse, and augmented and virtual reality.

The reports review the latest trends and developments in each of those technologies, and consider how they are impacting on the way music is made, performed, recorded, distributed, managed, marketed and consumed.

What challenges have been created? What opportunities are available? How are the expectations of artists and music fans being affected? And how can they help record labels enhance and grow their businesses?

There will be an IMPALA Digital Hour webinar accompanying both parts of the report, the first one on Thursday 13 January at 3pm CET. Click here to register.
