Billy Corgan to be at SxSW discussing the release of Oceania
Brian Solis (Altimeter Group) talks about what he and Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) will be discussing at their SXSW Interactive presentation on March 12.
“We’ll discuss key themes from [Solis’s book The End of Business as Usual] as it relates to the music industry. The focus will be on changing the methods that artists use to deliver music by re-inventing new systems that can work hand in hand with the art they created. The goal will be to put the art of music back to the forefront by ignoring the continual need of the music industry to standardized systems to promote and sell music in an era of constant change.
Billy will also discuss how social media and technology will play a part in the release of their new album Oceania and share his vision for reinventing the album experience overall.”
