How did access to music through technology alter our musical experience?
Accessibility
Developments in technology have allowed people to listen to music from all over the world for free.
So what?
Cultural integration is able to happen at a larger scale through music.
From the beginning of time the only way to listen to music was live, in person.
Music listening was an intiate experince, in the beggining it was art and ritual.
In the acedemic journal, "Hearing and Believing: Listening Experinces as Religious Experiences in 19th-century Britsh Methodism", it is explored how music was also used to push religious agendas, due to intense personal connections made during the performance.
In "History and Change in Blackfoot Indian Musical Cultural and Thought", Blackfoot Native Amerficans are said to pass down songs ritualistically, by ear.
Before music could be recorded and replayed, it could be taylored to the individual groups it was being played for; making audience very limited.

The creation of radio was pivitol in the way that it allowed people to connect to music outside of thier immidate circles. Popular music could be intoduced from around the world, remotely.
In "Music and the Rise of Radio in 1920s America: technological imperialism, socialization, and the transformation of intimacy", Timothy Taylor decribes radio as "the most important eletronic technological inovation of the of the 20th-century" as it "gave the country the first mass-media superstar in popular music".
The beatles, one of the worlds most famouys bands of all time, though being known in the UK , did not reach the US until 1964. It was not until their music had played by Carroll James on the WWDC (radio station) that "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles occupied the number 1 spot on the billboard for 11 weeks straight; leading them to become the iconic band we know today.
Music started becoming internationally due to the invention of the radio.

The Beatles, who have not made music in decades have close to 1 billion streams on one song alone and over 25 million listeners a month.
Even long after their split, they are able to be listened to internationally for free.

Modern artists are also making global impact due to new accessablity to music.
Bad bunny, a Puerto Rican musican, is arguably one of the most popular artist in the world right now.
Having a song spend 30 weeks in the top 5 of Billboard hot 100 and a song go number 1 globally on spotify with over 1.3 billion streams.
In listening and interacting with music, there are three planes of interaction that could either connect us all or not at all..
These planes being:
-> the sensory plane
-> the expressive plane
-> the existence/enjoyment plane
LISTENING PLANES
Luli
- In the sensory plane, this plane appeals to our five senses (sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing). In listening to music through this plane, it allows for full head-to-toe body interaction that not only could make one listeners experience immersive, but multiple.
- In the expressive plane, this plane appeals to what the music makes a listener/the
composer feel. Music can be used to make sense of emotions, mentalities, actions, and
more. It can bring together groups of people who feel the same way or who have the same
approach. There is a moment of relating between listeners and composers or between
listeners.
- Lastly in the existence/enjoyment plane, this allows for the relationship
between music and those interacting with it to just be. Instead of it
being "what" it's how does the music make one feel? In that
moment grasping it's own definition, with no strings
attached. This can bring together us interaction
with music just under appreciation.
A musical experience that reflects all three planes can be most directly tied to a experience under attending a live-performance:
Under The Three Planes
The IPod/Civil Inattention:
In another light, music and it's technological advances don't impact socialization at all. We ourselves befcome the determining factor even in relation when on listening planes..
The IPod- "Most iPod-like devices separate citizens from one another; you can’t join someone in a movement if you can’t hear
the participants. Congrats Mr. Jobs for impeding social change.”
(https://slate.com/culture/2011/03/the-ipod-has-changed-the-way-we-listen-to-music-and-the-way-we-respond-to-it.html)
Or Not..
Civil Inattention: ideology developed by Sociologist Erving Goffman.
Process in order to maintain comfort by people in public within close proximity. In simple terms, acts of ignoring what one another is doing
in public, attending/hyper-focusing on one's own actions.
