Tomorrow afternoon, please come and speak up at the this panel exploring the
future of music in the Triangle. This event is inspired by the Future of
Music Coalition's annual conference in Washington, D.C. We'll be talking
about the way large-scale changes in distribution, technology and law affect
our local music scene.

This ain't no contest. It's a conversation. The more people take part, the
better the conversation will be.

Plus, I'm bringing homemade cupcakes.


“The Future of Music in the Triangle”
A panel discussion
FREE
2-4 pm, Saturday, Oct. 2 in downtown Carrboro
Part of the Indy Music Awards

How are changes in technology and law affecting local musicians?

Can independent record labels find a way to use free online music
distribution to make money?

How are local hip-hop artists reacting to the recent court decision on
sampling?

Do musicians know enough about copyright law to protect their work—and avoid
breaking the law themselves?

These and more questions are the subject of “The Future of Music in the
Triangle,” a panel discussion sponsored by the Independent Weekly newspaper
as part of its first annual Indy Music Awards festival on Saturday, Oct. 2,
2004. The panel will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Century Center, 100 N.
Greensboro St., in Carrboro. Entrance is free.

The scheduled panelists are:

Cesar Comanche, hip-hop emcee with the Justus League crew. He’ll discuss the
recent federal court decision on sampling. He’s currently working on his
third album, Squirrel and the Aces, and might give us a listen.

Jennifer Jenkins, a professor at Duke Law School and director of the Center
for the Study of the Public Domain. She’s an expert in copyright law and the
way it affects artistic expression.

Tor Hansen, A&R and sales & marketing director of Yep Roc Records, an indie
label with a diverse catalog of genres and styles. Its Web site, YepRoc.com,
allows users to hear songs and watch videos by Yep Roc artists.

David Cantwell, drummer for the rock band Cantwell, Gomez and Jordan. He’s a
veteran of the bands Razzle and Cold Sides. Besides being a prolific
musician, his works at an independent music store on Franklin Street and has
insight on local music buying habits.

Fred Stutzman of ibiblio.com, the online library based at UNC-Chapel Hill. He
is a music archivist, audiophile and geek who closely follows changes in
technology and law and the way they affect listeners and online music
distribution channels.

Whitney Broussard, entertainment attorney. He is a partner in the New York
office of Selverne, Mandelbaum & Mintz, which represents Ludacris, Wu-Tang
Clan, Third Eye Blind, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Wyclef Jean, India.Arie,
Fisherspooner and many others.

Independent staff writer Fiona Morgan will moderate. Her occasional column,
The Monitor, explores the intersection of music, technology, copyright law
and media ownership.

This idea for this panel was inspired by the Future of Music Coalition’s
annual conference in Washington, D.C. It is intended to address the local
impact of changes in the music industry, technological innovation and legal
and policy issues. Comments and questions from local musicians are invited
and encouraged.
