'Artists across genres and media are excitedly experimenting with ways to break down old hierarchies between high and low, casual and formal … taking different kinds of risks by presenting work that isn’t as easily contained with familiar categories.'
LA Times critic Ann Powers describes the tech- and artist-driven revolution that has upended the music business over the past decade. A good read for my colleagues from the orchestra side of the biz, particularly those who still don’t see why it is so critical that ‘we all seek to define what it means to make art beyond the frame.’
[Clearly my answer to the question @composersforum posed about this is an unequivocal ‘yes’.]
