The Internet has created a global market of people consuming music in a whole new way. — [1]—. We are now beginning to see the Internet used to also create music in a whole new way. You can plug your guitar into your computer and play, in real time, with someone from another city or country. There are about half a dozen sites where musicians can meet, compose, and play together.
Studio sessions are also possible on the Internet. —[2]—. Each person lays down an individual track to be part of a finished product. For example, a male guitarist and singer recently went on a site with his composition. The music was heard by a female vocalist who laid down a harmonizing track to be played with his. This was followed by a violinist who liked what he heard and who wanted to be part of it. A pianist also offered a track that the group decided to use. —[3]—. This band of four plans to continue to work together. Their sound has earned global attention, also through the Internet. Their music has even been played on traditional media such as radio. Members of this group were developed out of several hundred site visitors who offered tracks to the original guitarist and singer.
Musicians, who collaborate on these sites, literally have a world of opportunities to meet other musicians. —[4]—. Gone are the days when musicians find each other only by knowing some of the same people. Now musicians can easily meet thousands, if not millions, of other musicians.
This could even become the next generation of record labels.
