MusicTech Germany: Music Technology Innovation

Matthias Strobel will examine the constant innovation brought to the music ecosystem by artists, entrepreneurs, and researchers.

Emerging technologies have changed the entire value chain of music. From composition to production, distribution and curation to consumption. Technically, a musician nowadays could go all the way along the value chain without any intermediates involved. This is also the case for the consumer. Music is accessible for everyone from everywhere now and you can literally go with it wherever you want.

Many of those truly disruptive applications and products that changed music and its industry were introduced by creative German inventors who leveraged emerging technologies in new ways.

With the fast development of new technologies and the easy access to it, the music ecosystem will see even more drastic changes in the future.

Matthias Strobel will take us on a journey to deep dive into past and present music technologies that changed the course of music and give us a glimpse of what to expect from the future in which AI, extended realities and data-driven decisions will impact the creative process as well as the music business.

This presentation will highlight the importance of cross-vertical and transdisciplinary collaborations for new and sustainable innovation.
