Music and the City

My immediate response was to investigate music and how it interacts with the city at every level, weather it is a busker on the corner, or a stadium gig at Hamden Park. I First set about walking the city, finding venues that existed, looking for venues that where no longer used, and finding places that could potentially be used as a venue. Music can be performed at any scale, to just one, or to hundreds, and now through technology millions. Music too has become more and more accessible. In the past, if you wanted to listen to a musician or band you would have to pay, either for a record or admission to a gig. Now with the internet, sites like Youtube, Myspace and Itunes you can watch listen and buy at your own digression. I decided to start to explore how music, particularly a musician or band, evolve in a city, where do they play or practise, how do they get there music heard, how can they promote or sell records.
