If SoundCloud Disappears, What Happens to Its Music Culture? - The New York Times
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/01/magazine/if-soundcloud-disappears-what-happens-to-its-music-culture.html?_r=0
After the layoffs, the technology blog TechCrunch published a report claiming that SoundCloud had enough money to finance itself for only 80 days. Though the company disputed the report, the possibility that SoundCloud might disappear sent a shock through the web. Data hoarders began trying to download the bulk of the service’s public archive in order to preserve it. Musicians like deadmau5, a Canadian electronic-music producer, tossed out suggestions on Twitter for how the company could save the service. Chance the Rapper tweeted: ‘‘I’m working on the SoundCloud thing.’’
Since its start in 2008, SoundCloud has been a digital space for diverse music cultures to flourish, far beyond the influence of mainstream label trends. For lesser-known artists, it has been a place where you can attract the attention of fans and the record industry without having to work the usual channels. There is now a huge roster of successful artists who first emerged on SoundCloud, including the R.&B. singer Kehlani, the electronic musician Ta-Ha, the pop musician Dylan Brady and the rapper Lil Yachty, to name just a few.
The death of SoundCloud, then, would mean more than the sunsetting of a service: It could mean the erasure of a decade of internet sound culture, says Jace Clayton, a musician and the author of ‘‘Uproot: Travels in 21st-Century Music and Digital Culture.’’ He reminded me of an online music service called imeem, which MySpace bought in 2009 in the hope of absorbing its 16 million users into its own platform. But the struggling service shut down, and all the music uploaded and shared to it was lost, including what Clayton recalls to be a very eclectic subset of black Chicago house music. ‘‘What does it mean if someone can delete hundreds and thousands of hours of sound culture overnight?’’ he asked.
SoundCloud always let me get lost in a warren of music that I’d never heard — or even heard of — before. Once, it was Japanese trap songs. Another time it was Ethiopian jazz music. It somehow manages to evoke some of the most appealing features of offline music culture, like browsing through bins in a record store or catching indie acts at an underground club.
SoundCloud took a community-first approach to building its business, prioritizing finding artists to post on its service over making deals with music labels to license their music, the approach taken by Spotify. The music industry was still in the process of adapting to a digital ecosystem when SoundCloud emerged; illegal file-sharing was rampant. But when the industry finally began squelching unauthorized distribution of artists’ tracks, SoundCloud was hit hard. D.J.s were also told to take down mixes of songs they didn’t own the rights to, and many of the remixes the site was known for were removed. SoundCloud ‘‘was very much built in the dot-com-era mentality of building an audience and then finding a way to make money,’’ Mark Mulligan, a music-industry analyst, told me. SoundCloud struggled to monetize the service. Artists who paid to be featured on the site balked at having ads run against their music, and when the company introduced its own version of a subscription service, called Go, the response was tepid. How do you persuade people who have been using your services free to start paying $5 or $10 a month?
For the most part, streaming services feel sterile and devoid of community. Spotify, Tidal and even YouTube to a degree are vast and rich troves of music, but they primarily function as search engines organized by algorithms. You typically have to know what you’re looking for in order to find it. They have tried to remedy that drawback with customized playlists, but still they feel devoid of a human touch. Serendipity is rare.
By contrast, the most successful online communities, like SoundCloud, have the feel of public spaces, where everyone can contribute to the culture. They feel as if they belong to the community that sustains them. But of course that’s not how it works. In ‘‘Who Owns Culture?,’’ Susan Scafidi writes: ‘‘Community-generated art forms have tremendous economic and social value — yet most source communities have little control over them.’’

A Team of Volunteers Is Archiving #SoundCloud in Case it Dies
▻https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/a3d4x8/archive-team-soundcloud
Spurred by recent reports the German streaming music and audio company may be running out of cash, The Archive Team is racing to preserve sound files—at high cost.
Scott estimates SoundCloud’s entire library is 1 petabyte (or 1 million gigabytes) in size. But a page on Amazon’s Web Services solutions site highlights SoundCloud as a case study customer, and says that SoundCloud was storing 2.5 petabytes of data.
“I think that page on Amazon’s AWS page is using old numbers, and they have little initiative to round downwards,” Scott wrote.
Motherboard emailed Amazon’s and SoundCloud’s press addresses to confirm the numbers, but did not receive responses in time for this article’s publication
Either way, we’re talking about a lot of cash. Scott said that at 1 petabyte, it would cost between $1.5 million and $2 million to store all the files for the foreseeable future on server space loaned out from the separate Archive.org, the non-profit organization that manages the Internet Archive (where Scott is also employed). Figuring Scott’s estimate of a cost of $1500 per terabyte to store on Archive.org servers, storing 2.5 petabytes for the foreseeable future would cost $3.75 million.

Pete Rock - A Tribute to James Brown
▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTfBiQpWkts&feature=player_embedded
In acknowledging the personal inspiration that is James Brown, #Pete_Rock has created the “#James_Brown Tribute” Mix. The tape is 35 minutes of non-stop funky grooves showcasing James Brown classics with hit hip-hop hits from the 80’s like Rob Base‘s “It Takes Two” which samples Lyn Collins‘s “Think (About It).” Supporters on Soundcloud claim the mix, one refreshing and revolutionary in its nature, is long overdue. Perhaps it’s safe to say that we all appreciate such a revitalizing connection between these monumental times in Black music, especially coming from a person who is actively furthering the legacy of musicians of these times. Well done, Pete Rock!

Internet Attack Spreads, Disrupting Major Websites - The New York Times
▻http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/22/business/internet-problems-attack.html
Il y a de l’affolement.
SAN FRANCISCO — Major websites were inaccessible to people across wide swaths of the United States on Friday after a company that manages crucial parts of the internet’s infrastructure said it was under attack.
Users reported sporadic problems reaching several websites, including Twitter, Netflix, Spotify, Airbnb, Reddit, Etsy, SoundCloud and The New York Times.
It probably wasn’t Russia who attacked the Internet today. That’s what’s scary.

Mais heureusement le plus effrayant reste réservé aux ennemis des #Etats-Unis,
One shouldn’t push this analogy too far. Other kinds of cyberattacks — such as the attack that the United States and Israel reportedly mounted on the Iranian nuclear program — require bespoke skills and customization and are out of the reach of all but sophisticated nation-states. Even so, taking down a large chunk of the Internet, as Friday’s attack apparently did, is well within the grasp of small criminal groups and other ordinary actors.

Wired, for example, will launch Spoken Editions for “Business,” “Science” and its homepage. TIME will offer a Spoken Edition called “The Brief.” Forbes, .Mic, Bustle, Playboy, OZY, and — yep — TechCrunch (which I discovered while browsing our iTunes page, of all things) will have Spoken Editions, it seems, as all popped up for a time on iTunes.
Launched in 2012, #SpokenLayer offers audio creation, distribution and monetization services to media brands. The company currently powers podcasts for a number of publishers, including Forbes, Huffington Post, TIME, Reuters, Smithsonian, Scripps and others, according to its website. Those recordings are then distributed on platforms like iTunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher, AudioBoom and Live365.
The Spoken Editions will also include audio #ads, where revenue is shared between the publisher and SpokenLayer.

The record NASA sent to aliens is now on SoundCloud | Chart Attack
▻http://www.chartattack.com/news/2015/07/30/the-record-nasa-sent-to-aliens-is-now-on-soundcloud
Launched in 1977, the two Voyager spacecrafts were each loaded with a golden phonograph record documenting life on Earth should either probe ever contact aliens. Their mission was to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune before floating out of our solar system into interstellar space, hurtling away from the sun at 17 kilometres a second. Famous space guy Carl Sagan called the project a “bottle in the cosmic ocean.” Now, for your enjoyment, NASA has uploaded their message to SoundCloud.
The recordings contain greetings in 55 languages, from Akkadian to Wu, as well as an assortment of sounds representative of life on earth, like a heartbeat, a mother kissing her child and the whistle of a train. The golden records also carry 90 minutes of music (not upped to SoundCloud, presumably for copyright reasons), including standards like Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, First Movement.

Listening in at the Economist: How #audio editions and #podcasts are created | #Media news
▻https://www.journalism.co.uk/news/the-economist-how-audio-editions-and-podcasts-are-created/s2/a551030
Publishers may have become familiar with audiences consuming content in unusual places in the increasingly mobile world. Indeed, the Economist, for example, has at least one subscriber who opts to access its content while swimming.
That is made possible as the Economist is also available as an audio edition, a word-for-word recording of the print and digital edition, that subscribers can download via the Economist apps or from the website.
Speaking at the PPA digital publishing conference in September, Neelay Patel, the Economist’s digital vice president of commercial strategy, said that around 25 to 30 per cent of its reader-base is using the audio download option, with feedback showing that people are listening while on the train, in the car – and even underwater.
The Economist has a number of audio offerings: the audio edition for subscribers, plus five podcasts every week, which are available to non-subscribers. Journalism.co.uk caught up with Tom Standage, digital editor at the Economist, to find out how they are created and accessed by audiences.
Audio editions
Creating audio editions is “quite a challenge logistically”, Standage explained, as it all needs to be done in an afternoon.
Most pages of the Economist are not final and signed off until 11am on a Thursday and the audio must be ready for subscribers to download by 7pm, as the digital edition is published.
The Economist uses an external company called Somethin’ Else and broadcasters, many of them former BBC presenters, voice the written articles.
“They have to do it in several studios in parallel,” Standage explained. “They have about five hours to do the actual recording and then it has all got to be edited and labelled and packaged up.”
The audio edition is “very, very popular with our readers”, Standage said. "We get a lot of feedback from people saying that it is how they stay on top of the information coming their way.
“What the Economist really sells is the ability to keep up by acting as a filter that says ’this is what’s really important’. And if you just read the Economist then you’ll be informed. That’s ultimately the product we are selling.”
“Audio is a very, very good way for people to read our content without having to read it”
Tom Standage
And the main reason people cancel their subscription to the Economist is that they do not have time to read it and the magazines pile up, Standage added. “Audio is a very, very good way for people to read our content without having to read it.”
He added that its is “a very valuable retention tool” as it encourages people to consume the content in different ways. "It’s easier to read an iPad when you are sitting down on a plane, but it’s more convenient to read a iPhone when you are squeezed into a tube train.
“The idea is just to leave it up to the reader to decide what the most convenient form of consuming the content is, and in many situations that will be audio.”
Podcasts
The Economist divides its products into two reading behaviours: “lean back”, which is the print-like digital experience of tablets; and “lean forward”, a website experience.
Where lean back offers an “immersive, reflexive, browsable, ritualistic, finishable” experience, lean forward is about the web. The online readership is very social, with articles spread via social media, Patel told last month’s conference.
The lean forward approach of the website gives Economist readers additional features that are not included in the lean back edition, including blogs, multimedia and debates. As part of that the team produces five pieces of video and five pieces of audio a week.
The podcasts are available for free to non-subscribers via iTunes, SoundCloud, ’Economist radio’ on Facebook, a Chrome browser extension and the player on the Economist’s website.
A podcast is published on each weekday, with subjects including business and finance, culture, technology, world politics, and on Friday there is an analysis podcast called ’the week ahead’.
’The week ahead’ offers “a primer of what to look out for in the week ahead and what to make of it”.
Standage said: "It all fits in with our mission of essentially equipping you with the tools that you need to understand the world and making you feel that you are on top of things and that you are informed about what is going on.
“Essentially that’s our mission overall, and the more noisy that the media environment becomes, the more news sources there are, the more demand there seems to be for sources like the Economist which act as a filter.”
Numbers
Asked how many people are listening to the audio edition and podcasts, Standage said numbers are difficult to measure as some people stream the podcasts, others download the audio and the recordings are available on a number of platforms.
“I have to confess that to some extent we are talking into the dark. We have numbers, they appear to be quite big, and they are going up.”
Hands on with Paper, Dropbox’s answer to Google Docs | The Verge
▻http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/15/9545587/dropbox-paper-hands-on
The more interesting thing about Paper is the way that it handles rich media: you can embed YouTube videos and SoundCloud files simply by pasting in the URL, or tap the “+” button next to any paragraph to access a menu that will let you add photos, tables, or links to other Dropbox files, among other things. It all looks great, and I imagine that creative types who work on teams will appreciate having rich media embedded in the documents they’re working on rather than in a series of infinite tabs.

The most chilling development, however, came with the revelation that Apple Music could replace your local library with DRM versions of songs you’d already purchased. Whether the original source is the iTunes Music Store, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, or just a CD you purchased and ripped to your library, Apple would now control your ability to access your own songs, including locking you out of music on some devices purchased from Apple.

Popular and Free, SoundCloud Is Now Ready for Ads - NYTimes.com
▻http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/08/21/business/media/popular-and-free-soundcloud-is-now-ready-for-ads.html?referrer=&_r=0
The first advertisers include Red Bull, Jaguar and Comedy Central, whose ads will run only in conjunction with licensed content. Among the initial content partners are two major music publishers, Sony/ATV and BMG; the distributors INgrooves and Seed; the comedy site Funny or Die; and a number of independent artists, including the Washington rapper GoldLink.
“GoldLink and his fan base have been built from the ground up on SoundCloud,” said Matt Colwell, one of GoldLink’s managers. “Now, with it progressing to monetization, it’s the natural next step for us.”
Despite months of negotiations, the three major record companies — Universal, Sony and Warner — have not completed licensing deals. People briefed on those talks say that in some ways the vibrancy of SoundCloud’s platform is part of the problem: There are so many D.J. mixes, mash-ups and other hybrid works, shared and remixed so frequently, that appropriate licensing terms have not yet been fully worked out. After all, how do you split the money from a three-minute dubstep mash-up of Britney Spears, Eurythmics, Beethoven and a dozen others?

Behind the scenes of ‘The #singing_comet’
▻http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/12/19/behind-the-scenes-of-the-singing-comet
Last month, shortly before #Rosetta released Philae to land on #Comet_67P/C-G, we posted an article on this blog titled “The singing comet”. It presented an audio track based on data collected with one of the #Instruments from the #rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) on board the orbiter. Perhaps because it added a new layer to the Rosetta story, by engaging another of our human senses to the immersive experience of “being there” at the comet with the spacecraft, this ‘song’ became a worldwide sensation. By now, it has been listened to more than 5.6 million times on SoundCloud. But what does this ‘music’ mean, and how is it possible to ‘record’ sounds in space at all? Readers of this blog have asked a number of questions about “The singing comet”, so we’ve written this post to provide some more details (...)
