Music has become an ever bigger part of many people’s lives in recent years. There are several reasons for this and a look at the changing face of the entertainment industry helps to reveal a few of them.
It isn’t clear when casinos first started to play background music, but it’s now a well-established part of the gambling experience. The right music plays an important role in setting the scene so that players feel relaxed and at home. Jazz was widely used in the early days of casinos with pop and rock becoming more popular in recent decades.
The arrival of online casinos with live-streamed games and many themed slots has created the need for a new approach. Players from around the world can join these games at any time of day, with newcomers using a casino bonus for new customers to play free spins or get extra funds. This means that these games need a constant soundtrack that matches the theme and keeps visitors engaged without becoming boring or repetitive.
Streaming is another evolving entertainment option that has had an impact on the way we listen to music. The most obvious difference is that we can now listen at any time using a music streaming service such as Spotify, Apple Music, and others. Each has different pros and cons, as the developers use the latest technology to produce the best possible experience for their customers.
One of the key ways this has changed our relationship with music is that it lets us easily access a far bigger range of musical styles and artists. This has given emerging artists the chance to build up a large following through word of mouth. Listeners are encouraged to explore new genres and find interesting new music that might have otherwise escaped their attention.
One of the burning questions for the music industry right now is how the latest technology will change it. We can already find artificial intelligence (AI) being used to create mind-bending cover versions like Frank Sinatra singing Flowers and Bob Marley tackling Careless Whisper. For all that this is great fun, it raises serious questions about how AI will affect the future of music creation and copyright.
The blockchain has been heralded as representing a giant step forward in allowing us to share entertainment like music securely and on a peer-to-peer basis. This could mean fans buying songs directly from artists, selling original digital content to other fans or joining exclusive online concerts. Examples of the blockchain in music include the Sound platform, which releases songs as NFTs, and Medicachain, which uses smart contacts to make the royalties process more transparent.
There’s no doubt that the recent changes in different parts of the entertainment industry have changed the way we listen to music. This continues to be an area of our lives that evolves and we can look forward to seeing more changes in the future.
