Author and
award winning music producer Otto D'Agnolo breaks rank with his peers
in this politically incorrect celebration of current record industry woes.
Referred to as a "novel rant", D'Agnolo mixes his vision of the future
with stories from his past to describe how the current state of turmoil
in the music industry is a great thing for you as a music fan or as a music maker. How things
got this messed up, why pop music sucks, the inevitable death of the
traditional record companies and a potential future full of legally free music...
it's all here!
A free CD by the self proclaimed "Conqueror or musiC" - Caesar Bach is included with the book. Otto uses Caesar's record to illustrate the crazy path of filters that music passes through from music maker to music lover. He also demonstrates how these filters are being removed and why the new music scene will be a much more musically interesting place to be. While the word "illegal" seems to dominate today's discussions of digital music, Otto brings a fresh perspective to the whole concept as he describes his vision of the future which includes much more creativity, originality and a lot of legally free music. |
