New York City music journalist and author Liz Pelly presents an overview of insights from her book Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist. Building on interviews with over 100 industry insiders and musicians, Mood Machine offers a deep dive into the streaming model’s impacts on listeners and artists alike.
As the Washington Post puts it, "Pelly has established herself as the most lucid and rigorous critic of the rot at the heart of an apparently magical service … Mood Machine promises to become a new standard text for tech-skeptic artists." Here, she’ll survey some of the big takeaways of her research as well as forward-looking ideas on building sustainable music cultures.
