Great Interview with Tears For Fears' Curt Smith on Twitter, the Future of Music, etc.
Musician Curt Smith, otherwise known as half of the international hit group Tears for Fears (along with Roland Orzabal), took a unique approach to finding a collaborator for a recent solo project: he used Twitter.
Some highlights:
Do you think this kind of asynchronous collaboration is one model of how music might evolve or how people might be able to be creative independent of geography?
On MySpace:
MySpace is just spam central. I mean, every day I just get mail inviting me to gigs that are nowhere near Los Angeles! No, I’m not coming to Florida tomorrow.
You also have a unique plan for releasing some of the upcoming solo work that you’re doing, track by track as opposed to, ‘Here I’ve worked for two years and here’s an album at the end of that time.’ Does that have to do with changes in the music industry — are singles becoming more important? Is the album format becoming more disintermediated?
I know you’re a big proponent of Creative Commons. Could you talk a bit about why you think this is something important that artists should know more about?
