Kristin Thomson from FMC, Phil Norman from Virginia Tech's Communication Network Services, two music industry executives, and two Virginia Tech students discuss "The Value of Music" in a panel discussion on music consumption among college students in the digital age. The discussion is based on a survey conducted by Virginia Tech's Communication Network Services in coordination with the Future of Music Coalition. More than 1000 Virginia Tech students responded to the survey, and the results show students are most likely to access music for no cost through YouTube, Pandora and free versions of services such as Spotify - a trend leaving many of their favorite artists with weakening streams of revenue. Phil Norman, VT's Network Infrastructure and Services Department Spott Philpott, Manager, Merge Records Stu Smith, Social Media for Red Light Management Jessi Bourneuf, Virginia Tech student Chris Winfield, Virginia Tech student, Music Director, WUVT Kristin Thomson, Future of Music Coalition (Moderator) This panel was recorded on Wednesday, November 30, 2011, at the Old Dominion Ballroom in the Squires Student Center at Virginia Tech.

What happens in Washington impacts the arts community in more fundamental ways than people often realize. Beyond direct public funding, a wide range of decisions impact both the structures of the music economy and more basic, day to day issues like health care, transportation, housing, and the role of arts in education. The federal government is seeking to spur and engage arts stakeholders, including musicians, in decisions about how neighborhoods and metro regions should grow and change. A panel of administration officials will discuss their work and its relevance to artists and music community.

The FCC was established in 1934 to regulate telecommunications in America. After years of fighting for the Internet to be unregulated, the FCC was taken to federal court after attempting to force Comcast to allow its Internet subscribers unlimited broadband speed, regardless of their bandwidth use. Comcast won the appellate decision and scored the first blow in a fight that may define a generation. How open should the internet be? Casey Rae Hunter from the Future of Music Coalition is in studio to discuss the case.

These days, there are countless ways for creators to get their innovation on. DC's Bluebrain (bluebra.in/) are a perfect example of how artists are using technology in fascinating ways. Last year's The National Mall and this fall's Listen to the Light are Bluebrain's location-aware albums that trigger sounds based upon where in The National Mall and Central Park, respectively, you and your smartphone are strolling. We'll be screening a short documentary on the making of Listen to the Light plus we'll have a conversation with Bluebrain and some special guests.

Pundits and prognosticators often surmise that today's musicians and composers are living in an era of unparalleled opportunity. While it's safe to say that musicians' access to the marketplace has greatly improved, thanks to digital sales, social media, YouTube and the like, how have these changes impacted musicians' ability to generate revenue based on their creative work? Almost all analyses of the effects of these changes rest purely on assumptions that they have improved musicians' bottom lines. We hear often from record labels, music services, publishers, and entrepreneurs about the state of the music industry. Now it's time to hear how musicians and composers themselves are navigating these enormous changes. In this conversation we'll examine how the genre of jazz is benefiting from, and reacting to, the ever present march of technology.
