We envisage a six month research period into the cutting-edge download, music programming, and streaming technologies and techniques used in music promotion and distribution in the global record industry, followed by a eighteen month period of training in these technologies and techniques for regionally-based SMEs and freelance workers.

The first part of the research involves sampling and evaluating contemporary digital music technologies, from streaming services and mp3 players to techniques such as podcasting and technologies such as the AAC-plus format.

Along the way, we will be scrapbooking related articles and posting observations and conversations about the field. We have elected to do this in a public forum, and we invite your comments.

Team members include:

…and an invited team of academic and technical colleagues who have an interest in related areas and who will be assisting in the research.

We have decided to blog our research, as it seems in keeping with the spirit of the project. We hope you find it as interesting as we do and look forward to your thoughts and input along the way.
