There's a revolution going on, and we all know it, it's called streaming, which in itself, while being a rather appealing word, is simply a means of distribution. Streaming services are in between music-makers and music consumers, but streaming has all kinds of implications (including those which currently we can only guess at) for both makers and consumers; for the future of music itself in fact. So what does streaming mean for the future of the way that music is made, sold, and consumed? In what ways - and especially how - can we shape, both as consumers and producers, the immediate future of music-making? Also noting that from a Turkish perspective, from a region where none of the International streaming services are based, one could imagine that everything that is shaping the immediate future happens somewhere else and we don’t have a say in it.
