    I have found more music since streaming. More different kinds and far more than I’d be able to find without streaming. I wish the artist got more out of it. They deserve more.

    Not for me, no. Any playlists I listen to were either made by me or by curators with a clear vision or opinions. I feel like people like me, music nerds on RateYourMusic and interested in long form critique, streaming has actually made things easier, because half of the stuff that used to be a pain to find is readily available. I know this is an edge case, and admit it's much worse for casual listeners, but for the discog heads out there, everything is much easier.

      I do the same things, but it's a lot of work to find good playlists out there and if I'm making the play list it's even more work :)
      And keep in mind that there is a lot of music that is not available streaming because of clearing samples or because it's not part of some big distributors library.

      ​@@Scoots1994You're most definitely right, finding good curation *is* a lot of work. But navigating the hobbyist space is still a lot easier than crate digging. And, in my experience, it's one aspect that most hobbyists find particularly enjoyable. Discovering perspectives that you find elucidating in your musical journey is a workout, and no one's gonna do it for you. Imo, that's a good thing. I'm glad RYM allowed me to meet others who have the same interests in modern pop that I do, otherwise I'd never have listened to the unintentionally preminitory outsider art Farrah Abraham, for example. I'd rather have that than radio push me another awful Tyga or Limp Bizkit single.
      As to the availability of music, it has always been a problem. Regardless of how much is still unavailable in a centralized fashion, be it for sample clearances, distribution limbo (japanese music is notoriously bad in this regard) or any other reason, it is still *comparatively* more available now. Yeah, most of my mixtape catalogue is not on spotify, but even when they dropped you still had to get a zip file off DatPiff. I tried listening to The Dells' "I Hear Voices" the other day, and it's not on streaming. Thankfully someone uploaded it to TH-cam. But back in the day, I would have been doomed to go to my local record store just to find out they likely wouldn't have it on wax. So while you're correct in acknowledging that it's not perfect, I still believe we're better off now than before.

      It's super easy for casual listeners. "new music Friday" is 100 songs that Spotifys algorithms thinks everyone will like. There are bound to be some songs on there that you like. Every single week. If you follow artists you like then Spotify will recommend similar songs every Friday just to you!

      ​@@neonxfirefly You're so right and for a long time I refused to follow my faves because this way Spotify had a harder time telling which artists I would really enjoy. It also helps that I have fairly widespread music tastes. I caved and started following artists when I noticed I had missed several releases of some of my top favorite artists, and I feel Spotify and streaming in general really puts listeners in between a rock and a hard place in this sense.

    I think what this video missed, buying record is expensive. Its not just the vinyl- you need a record player, speakers: and then its maintenance and space to keep these records. The thing that this video got right was the positive feedback loop as a side effect of algorithm. Once you are aware of it taking a few weekly moments to reach out for albums outside your comfort zone helps deviate that. The best thing in the video was the passing mention of intent. I think intentional listening makes the world of difference. You dedicate time to deep dive into the song and the artist; feel the emotional weight of the song and I understand with how busy the world is- this is certainly a privilege. But once you get hold of this luxury there is indeed nothing like it. And you do not need a record player for it. Arguably you can still intentionally consume music on airpods; but in my suggestion going back to maybe a wired headphone is the most easiest way to develop this habit. It induces a friction point, which if you are able to overcome, rewards you with an intentional playback session (and arguably better sound :P). Above all; live gigs. Taking chances at artists you have never heard of and going to see them live in your local circuit. That one is for the adventurous. But is the most rewarding when you find that ONE (or five) band. Cheers!

      On the point of it being expensive; Gamers will spend $500 on a console every 6 years, upwards of $70 per game. PC games will spend thousands on their setups. I just don't think people are conditioned anymore to think of or consume music the same way

    I feel like vinyl might be the _worst_ way to try and get into new music? Not only are the records themselves expensive, but the players and the speakers are too, not to mention the _space_ necessary to store a record collection, and how carefully you need to handle everything. Maybe I'm just too big a child of the 80s, but CDs really seem like the best of both worlds, you get the high quality of streaming and the digging through racks of stuff to find music of vinyl, with much less investment necessary to actually get to the point of listening to your music, in much smaller packages, that are robust and you don't need to feel like you should be wearing white cotton gloves and _way_ less friction to make your own copy to put on your phone if that's your preferred listening method.

    Streaming and intentionally searching for new music are definitely compatible, it's the listener's responsibility to not just let themselves be fed by the algorithm. There's a search bar you know ? This was already the case before streaming, most people would just listen to what's popular on radio.

    I’m a digital discog researcher/listener, and good at it because I’m painfully nosy in general lol. blogs are great for artist profiles, not so much music discovery anymore (to me anyhow). but good music is everywhere if you listen. it comes down to a matter of simply *paying attention* and harnessing space cadet tendencies, enough to google lyrics and find a new song, potential album listen to. or backtrack on old faves and listen to featured artists and their discog if you haven’t already. that’s how you discover new music. and by “new” I don’t mean produced yesterday or the present year. If it’s new to you, no matter when it was made, you discovered new music to you! 🙌🏾

    Rick Rubin said something like this recently: it’s exhausting being your own DJ, I still like the discovery of somebody else playing something I wasn’t expecting (radio, friends turning you on to music, etc).
    I think that’s what’s missing with streaming, the human element that connects people to a common band, song, album. I also still think the best way to discover music (that they missed here in this video) is actually going to see these artists perform LIVE. Musicians don’t make music with the intention of having 10 second snippets for a tik tok video. It’s to play out in front of a live audience. Streaming, in my opinion, is turning music into a sort of digital “art” collection, where the end goal is a bunch of playlists to accessorize one’s life, and not live in-person performances that made music discovery so vital to an artist’s career. I wish this host actually talked to bands and artists who make music, and not just “aficionados.”

      Very underrated comment. The lack of human element I think is what is the ultimate root cause for why the streaming and Tik Tok music culture of today feels incredibly empty. Even Many TikTok musicians dream of performing live and having that connection with an audience, and music because that much more connecting when you get to be at a live performance with others to enjoy it with.
      Monoculture has been dead for quite some time now, so it’s as if we as music lovers have to find our ways to cultivate deep connection through music

    I highly recommend seeking out interviews of your favorite artists to find out who influenced them and check out their stuff. You can also look at who they feature as guests in live performances or recordings. I particularly like to look up my favorite albums on Wikipedia to see who the session players were that stood out to me and then seek out their solo material.

    Maybe this is too harsh, but I think this is the weakest episode of Sound Field yet.
    The core claims seem to be that our current age of music streaming influences listeners to appreciate the music they listen to less than listeners did pre-streaming, that current music listeners are too passive in the discovery process, that they don't venture outside of the music styles they're comfortable with, and that streaming platforms care more about listener retention and profit per user than facilitating a healthy worldwide music environment. Almost all of these claims are not reasonable. No reason is presented to think that current listeners appreciate the music they listen to less than former generations of listeners. No reason is presented to think that current listeners are more passive in music discovery than previous generations of listeners. And no reason is presented to think that current listeners venture out less than previous generations of listeners. This makes me feel like I'm just not getting what this episode is saying because I'd like to think that there's a coherent and reasonable line of thought in this episode, but I'm not sure there is. Maybe that's the point? Maybe this is the beginning of a series of episodes on the matter? There's just nothing to chew on in this episode.
    Notice, though, that one claim seemingly made in this video seems to for sure hold up. It's clear that streaming platforms care more about money than music. But so do labels, distribution companies, PR firms, radio stations, talent agencies, etc. This is nothing new. It's fine to object to our specifically capitalist music industry today, but don't project that onto music listeners. Music competency is perhaps the highest its ever been among the US population. It's not uncommon for young people to have much more knowledge of popular music than their parents. I know more about the music released when my parents where in high school and college than they'll ever know, and they lived though it! As a fellow intellectual-type, we must resist the reactionary tendency to impute negative characteristics to populations of people who aren't also intellectual-types just because they aren't intellectual-types.

  • @jonathanwingmusic
    @jonathanwingmusic 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    As a musician and producer myself, one of the creative tragedies in my opinion is that music nowadays is so often written for the algorithm. If being authentic means writing a slow ballad with moody intro, I feel many musicians are less inclined to do so merely for the fact that it wouldn't play so well to algorithms - so as a result, there's been a shift in writing styles which focus on shorter songs and catchier intros, as well as a much greater emphasis on singles, with quantity over quality. I miss the idea that an album from an artist you loved was something worth waiting potentially years for, something which could tell a story from start to finish, compelling the listener to enjoy all the way through, with peaks and valleys and all, possibly interludes and sonic textures weaving songs together. There is something about physical media which does encourage this relationship to an album, in part because it's more expensive, and because it's tangible, so putting it on feels more like an event, much like putting on a movie vs. watching random short youtube videos. Physical media also requires more effort to keep changing or rotating songs so listeners are more inclined to sit back and let it play as the artists intended it to be heard, allowing a story and experience to unfold. Sadly, I think this relationship to music is dying in favor of everything being short, upbeat (or very quick to catch your attention), and digestible - written in such a way that that algorithm will favor it. I think there are many iconic songs in the past from famous bands throughout history that would never stand a chance today up against algorithms for the fact they are too long, too slow, too pensive. I hope that this can change but I fear like we're too far gone into this rabbit hole of ultra-fast snackable entertainment nowadays.

    I've been collecting music since I was a teen and CDs are the way to go. They're less expensive and take up less space than vinyls and the sound quality is better than streaming. I buy at least a half dozen albums every year and I have over 200 albums. New releases are usually available on CD and it's not impossible to find older albums, remastered albums, etc. I think people just like vinyls for the aesthetic.

The internet has given me a lot of tools I'd not otherwise have access to, its just breaking out of the easy channels that make the experience better for me.

    Just my personal experience, but I feel like the video's presumptions miss the mark. I listen to streaming while also still buying physical media. I don't form any more of an emotional attachment because of physical media. This isn't a book where I have the tactile sensation of turning the pages; once the CD is in the drive my experience is exactly the same.
    As for discovery, in the last 10 years I have discovered MUCH more eclectic music and my tastes are far less mainstream than before due to the reach "smaller" artists can have these days. They are not as constrained by the gate-keeping of the major recording labels. I should note that I discover newer music on TH-cam, not on Spotify. Sometimes its related videos, sometimes its a song used in a short film, or maybe some music explored in a video essay. Just my personal experience, but to me, music is so personal that the odds of a random track being to my liking means that listening to random vinyl albums at a "listening bar" would likely feel like a waste of time as I would probably discover NOTHING I like.

    Buying records actually helped me. Even though I don't stream music on the major platforms and I don't rely on algorithmic recommendations, I realized that I listened to tons of music but I didn't really focus on specific albums or bands. I thought about the topic a few years ago and I came up with my own solution. I still don't buy physical albums (they are expensive and you need space for them) but I actually buy one or two digital albums every month, selecting mostly small or emergent bands and projects. This gives you the opportunity to dive deeper into the records and is also beneficial to the artists, since they actually get a decent amount of money that way. I also think that concerts are very valuable tools for richer musical experiences.

    I grew up when you had to buy tapes and records, music discovery was vastly more expensive than it is now.
    Anyone who is in a rut today is still much better off than someone having only radio stations and a limited budget for only so many physical copies of music a month. Which is probably why musicians are struggling.
    Imho the problem isn’t discovery it’s people listening deeply and paying attention to what they’re listening to. And competing with all the other content to be consumed - tv, movies, video games, social media, podcasts.

    I'm really interested in the idea, mentioned close to the end, of "trying to enjoy" certain music. It's kind of funny because we tend to think that you just like what you like, and if you hear it and like it then that's the end. If you don't, you don't. But with all kinds of taste and art, you really can learn to like some things and not others. How does that happen -- what's going on there?
    Sometimes the stuff you learn to love is the stuff you end up loving the most. That was what happened for me and Tool. Until I tried listening to Tool, the only music I liked was popular country music. But around age 12, I got really turned on to Tool and started getting into more rock, while never losing my taste for country. To this day, Tool is one of my all-time favorites.

      Carole King might be new to her. I spent a few months diving into Chicago blues music last year, and NONE of that music was new, but some was new to me :)
      And if your record store sucks, go to a different record store. There are more good stores now than you may think.

      @Scoots1994 actually she said she loves Carol King... so, even she didn't venture out to get something new. I find that kinda ridiculous since the whole point of the report was about discovering new music. Re-watch it. You probably missed it the first time.

      @@quetzalcoatlband4163 Yeah, I did miss that. Still "new" music doesn't have to be new.

    This seems like a video produced by someone who doesn’t listen to a lot of music.

    Perhaps it is because I'm odd, but I am not enamored with algorithms, they never seem to get why I connect with a song. This is especially apparent with genres that I am not particularly enamored with, but do like a few songs from. I get loads of misfires. In my observation, at least some of the positive perception of algorithms stems from confirmation bias

    I don't think streaming make harder to find new music, it diversify it, i listen to kpop, korean songs, there aren't so much in store, now it has more kpop albums in store than before but it's hard to find kpop album in store too and all kpop fans discover kpop with streaming. I discover kpop and korean ost ballad with streaming with youtube, i don't listen to the radio, tv.
    You can subscribe to your favorite singer or label. I discover new music with youtube, new release, i check new release etc + i discover new music via korean drama serie with their ost soundtrack.
    I only listen to korean music and love it and it's so vaste. I bought albums for collection and i listen albums in streaming before buying it.
    Occidental is okay, doesn't bother me but i don't love it, i don't listen to english american music it's too known, all around the world and in the world, there aren't just english music artist

    112,000 tracks each day. C'mon, it's not worth worrying about discovery. Gotta focus on just not drowning in the deluge, new shit is gonna find you just fine.

      A REALLY underrated album, and until I think last year it wasn't available anywhere streaming so it's a kind of pertinent example to hold the physical media.

    Young people don't listen to music as its own activity anymore, music is background to other activities like video games or TV shows. A natural result of having so many more entertainment choices than past generations.

  • @starflyer59b

    No, definitely not harder to find new music. Seems like they could have made a better episode by highlighting the funky little record shops and listening cafes as their own phenomenon instead of pitting them against streaming
