Regarding the Mozart thing... I think you'll find virtually none of the
'popular' musicians of his time made any money whatsoever, just as they do
not today... there was a distinct upper class with enormous disposable
income paying him (and others) directly for specific pieces... can anyone
think of any modern equivalents to this situation? How much do composers get
for film score work for example?
To condense this slightly vague rant : instead of looking at ways to change
the payment scheme, are there other ways beyond the 'releasing albums to the
consumer' model for musicians to make money?
Most IDM certainly falls into the 'popular music' category, but given for
example the Aphex collaboration with Philip Glass (and more recently his
(rdj's) score for the chris cunningham art-exhibition short film), is there
also a place for it within "art" circles?
Any other examples of this sort of crossover?
Also, on a "Don't grab for the cash too quickly..." note, despite being a
'commercial composer' Mozart died completely broke and was buried in a
paupers grave.
