Lessons from Open Source Bach: How to Finance, Produce, and Publish Classical Music Recordings in the New Media Age Robert Douglass and Kimiko Ishizaka of opengoldbergvariations.org What can the classical music recording industry learn from the open source software movement? How can a record label help distribute your recording, even as you\&##39;re giving it away for free online? Is digital music distribution a ray of hope for a beleaguered industry, or a race to the absolute bottom? Join open source software guru and U-M SMTD graduate Robert Douglass with internationally acclaimed pianist Kimiko Ishizaka in a lecture/recital exploring these questions and more in the context of their current project to record a public domain edition of Bach\&##39;s Well-Tempered Clavier. The event is for Bach lovers, music lovers, the piano-curious, copyright fighters, entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to make a great record that people might actually listen to. Topics will include crowdfunding and activating massive global distribution networks for ideas and digital goods. Co-sponsored by Arts Enterprise and the Performing Arts Technology Department
