Just about to leave San Fran where I attended the Music Tech summit put on by Brian Zisk. It was the second one in 4 months and it was in fact as good if not better than the last one Brain put on. I attend many music conferences in the US and Canada (still planning on france/MIDEM one day), and this conference is one of the only one that is strictly focused on music and technology. It is not concerned with maintaining old business models, or bitching about how technology is ruining said business models. It is focused on how technology can promote new businesses models and aid creative innovation in music expression/consumption/distribution.

The conference was so successful that Brian is looking to put on another one in 4 months.

A highlight of the show for me was listening to Tim Ferriss talk about the 4 hour work week. He's a fascinating individual. Then after the show two individual found a grand piano and proceeded to play and sing The Darkside of the Moon. I loved it. Wonderful stuff.

Browsing through the flickr photos from the show, I found a pic by Island Gal of Tim with the "darkside" singer and pianist.

Be sure to check out the next MusicTech next September.
