Once, music existed for its own sake, created by composers and performers to engage the mind and soul. Now it seems that the act of ownership takes precedence over all else. Does the future lie in Dail Up Music, created to suit buyer specifications ? Like ordering coffee to strict preconditions. "I want X, Y, Z, X1, Y1, Z1 conditions to be met, OR ELSE !" Blank out what the performer might have to say, and blank out the composer ! Blank out everything that doesn't concern the buyer. Like culture, music history, other people, anything that gets in the way of Self. Ignore everything that makes music an act of communication and creativity. And that includes the art of self examination. Soon we'll have an app that people can programme to produce what they want, regardless of the music.
