Panelists will discuss and examine known and unknown obstacles that face the music of today and tomorrow and offer possible solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite unprecedented access to tools for creation and distribution, access to the networks and knowledge-building required to navigate a career in music remain out of reach for many. Sled Island &amp; Byta\u2019s goal is to generate discussions resulting in useful knowledge-based tools to support and better develop long-term careers in music. As the world of technology is becoming inseparable from music making, representatives from both communities will offer their navigational tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panels will explore a wide array of topics including: digital technology&#8217;s relationship to accessible creativity, empowering your algorithms to ensure representation and access, the role of music archives in the digital age and their impact on both preservation of art and careers, how-to present online events that are sustainable and don&#8217;t dilute a core artistic vision, fair pay for artists and all other parts of the music ecosystem, the shifts in how music organizations and associations communicate with and respond to their community&#8217;s needs, a report on the state of music sharing, and how to turn digital possibilities into means of enacting real-world change.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-25 text-center\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/byta.co\/symposium\" style=\"background-color:#66f628\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book Tickets<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"schedule\" class=\"wp-block-group schedule\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"schedule\">Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group schedule-body\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tuesday<br>February 15th<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Wednesday<br>February 16th<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Thursday<br>February 17th<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Friday<br>February 18th<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><strong>What Does the Music Community Need from its Organisations?<\/strong><\/strong><br><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><br>Noon MT \/ 2PM ET &#8211;

Each of these organisations play a vital role, but how do they achieve their goals, and have these goals changed over time? How do they enrich the future of the music community? As the music ecosystem naturally evolves, why are these organisations so important to the future of the industry?

Individuals, artists or those in the music industry, simply looking to uncover new music.&nbsp; Unfortunately many of the places or platforms where that search begins already have their own inherent bias. What are the barriers that are slowing down the process of a more democratic music discovery, especially when it comes to underrepresented artists and their music. How do these biases, often programmed deep within an algorithm, get broken down or hacked?&nbsp; What are the workarounds?

In 1975, following successful lobbying on its part, Canada became the first country to consistently pay exhibition fees to visual artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we enter 2022, musicians are still paid however much show promoters deem sufficient or can afford for their performances, with musicians, their managers or booking agents doing what they can to fight for door percentages and guarantees. Despite obvious inequities, there are still no real industry-wide minimum payment standards for musicians playing shows. This discussion aims to uncover what the music ecosystem can learn from CARFAC\u2019s success, while examining the differences between the two sectors and their consequences on minimum standard models. New technologies have been developed to help artists track and get paid for streams and publishing, but what about live performances? Can technology help win this fight? Are there any existing models out there that have been successful in raising the bar, and how can we get collective buy-in from an industry that has done things its own way for so long? These are some of the questions our panel will explore and attempt to answer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong><strong>How Do I DIY: Technology &amp; Accessibility<\/strong><\/strong><br>6pm MT, Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group panelistDetails\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Moderator:<br><strong>Erin Gee<\/strong> &#8211; Media Artist and Composer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panelists:<br><strong>Anthony<\/strong> <strong>Albanese<\/strong> &#8211; Composer, Performer and Educator<br><strong>Michael \u2018MJ\u2019 Jacob <\/strong>&#8211; Hip-Hop Artist<br><strong>Lisa Kacos<\/strong> &#8211; Artist and Educator<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column description is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:65%\">\n<p>I think we all know that the accessibility to the creative process through technology has advanced quickly but how does that accessibility affect those under-represented communities and their music.Today artificial intelligence can now be used as a creative tool as well as in the final stages of production.&nbsp; Being able to use affordable gear, platforms and apps from the internet or on your computer and&nbsp; having your bedroom be your studio, that is just part of what accessibility means. What does it mean to be under-represented and what does that do to the creative process?

With a new normal slowly transitioning back into live, will audiences and embrace a blend of virtual and live performances and events?
