The Sound of Music

The history of music sharing has more twists and turns than a Richard Linklater film, following our protagonist (music) from sunrise (CDs) to sunset (Spotify). Torrenting might have heralded the end of physical media, but is the music industry’s shift from illegal file swapping to legal streaming really the answer musicians have been waiting for? In this episode, comedian Olga Koch and journalist Hussein Kesvani speak with musician and producer J Appiah about what impact technology has had on music, and Olga and Hussein reminisce about the glory days of buying a bootleg DVD in a Moscow metro station. Human Error is a Daddy’s SuperYacht production for BBC Sounds.
