Peaking?
Trapital is Dan Runcie’s website dedicated to analysis and strategic breakdowns of the modern music industry (“The business of music asnd media unpacked”) is running an interview transcript with the venerable (and RAIN Summit speaker) Will Page, former Chief Economist at Spotify. It’s titled What Music’s Next Growth Phase Will Look Like, and addresses the idea that music has reached a “peak oil” moment — that’s a theoretical time when oil production hits a maximum rate and slows down. Transfer that idea to music subscriptions, and you get Will Page’s thesis. Or go straight to Will’s argument, A Case for Completion, HERE.
