Why Console Games will be bigger than Rock'n'Roll
Commissioned by Youth Music and written by Andrew Missingham, this report has sought out young people’s views about music-games, and aims to provide an insight into how music-games may develop and how the music sector could make the most of this exciting, nascent culture. Some of the questions that this report aims to explore are:
Are young people being attracted to making music via these games?
Do music-games add value to or replace other ways that young people make and listening to music?
Are young people making music, or learning about music, on consoles instead of on “traditional”2 instruments?
Are people starting on games consoles, then going on to other more "traditional” music making methods?
What can games developers and console and peripheral manufacturers do improve music-games?
And we certainly should be thinking about this when we see EMI in such trouble
Guy Hands is trying to implement a swingeing cost-cutting plan, but he has alienated artists who have been told to work harder for their cash.Some of EMI's major stars, such as Radiohead, have defected, and now Robbie Williams, pictured, and Coldplay are said to be reviewing their positions. Williams said Hands was behaving like a 'plantation owner'.
