4 EDITORIAL BERLIN MUSIC WEEK BERLIN MUSIC WEEK, SEPT Dear guests, Welcome to the 5th Berlin Music Week! We re looking forward to sharing with you this new and constantly evolving event, which has become an indispensable part of the Berlin music scene. We would like to thank you for wanting to be part of it and for taking an interest in our work, which has been made possible by our fantastic team within Germany and abroad. We can guarantee that you won t just have a huge amount of fun, you re sure to also take away lasting impressions and inspiration for your future work. In the true spirit of this city, we ve taken the soundtrack of the movie everything was better in the old days and tossed it in the bin. Instead, we set out to look for forgive the megalomania, it s part of it all the future of music. We found what we were looking for in the hundreds of artists who applied for the Berlin Music Week. They will be hitting our stages at the award shows, the showcase festival First We Take Berlin, and the Berlin Festival, as well as on trucks, rooftops or in the streets for the new First We Take the Streets. We also found the future of music in another kind of band the startup companies that are bringing change and innovation to the music industry, opening up new possibilities. After last year s successful premiere, we will be presenting the Music Start Up Corner 2014 featuring the best international business ideas. The Music Hack Day is going to create the kind of momentum that can be found somewhere between ingenuity and secret science. The new major players of the music industry will be part of it, as they share our aspiration to hack out new ideas during the Berlin Music Week. The future is also in the hands of the recorded industry, which has played a prominent and increasingly international role during the Indie Days at the Berlin Music Week. Despite the financial challenges faced in the last few years, the industry remains a motor of innovation, helping to encourage young artists, develop talent and create digital marketing channels. This is partly how our slogan Music Released came about after all, music has been, and continues to be, released. Plus, music is breaking away from its physical constraints, with all of the risks and opportunities that this process involves. This 5th Berlin Music Week is actually going to be the last of its kind. The project is to be handed over to the Musicboard Berlin for a new beginning. While it s easy to start feeling a sense of regret when it comes to difficult decisions like this one, it s important to remember that every end is a new beginning. We would like to wish the Berlin Music Week all the very best for the future, and wish you, our guests, a terrific time in Berlin! 4

5 EDITORIAL VUT INDIE DAYS VUT INDIE DAYS The VUT INDIE DAYS have already established themselves as Germany s essential event for recorded music. For three days, Postbahnhof Berlin will become a meeting place for the entire independent music industry offering great opportunities to connect with German and international independent companies. The VUT Indie Days are for the second time part of Berlin Music Week and encompass a broad range of events: Committees and plenums will be meeting internally under the heading PARLIAMENT on 3 September. The panels and presentations as part of the WORD! conference will cover relevant topics and current challenges for independents. Keynotes by internationally renowned speakers of the independent music industry are also part of the program as well as interactive parts like the matching sessions and workshops, which will bring together music companies. Additionally, VUT members will be part of the PRODUCT MARKET of Berlin Music Week and will present their products in the B2B section of Postbahnhof. The events are symbiotically linked with those of the other partners of Berlin Music Week; their planning was closely coordinated and all activities on 4 and 5 September 2014 in Postbahnhof are open without restrictions to all delegates. Last but certainly not least: After the successful premiere of the VIA! VUT INDIE AWARDS last year, VUT will once again celebrate independent artists and companies. On the evening of 5 September, the VIA! VUT INDIE AWARDS will be awarded in six categories based on quality and not on sales figures. Last year Otto Normal (Best Newcomer), Modeselektor (Best Experiment), DJ Koze (Best Album), City Slang (Best Label) and Kid Kopphausen (Best Act) won an award. If you want to know this year s winners, just come to the award show! 5

Wie bringe ich selbst meine Platte heraus, mache meine eigenen Veranstaltungen, buche meine eigene Tour mit der Hilfe anderer Leute, aber selbstbestimmt und ohne mich von großen Firmen und Akteuren abhängig zu machen? Wie kann ich selbstbestimmt arbeiten, ohne von den ganzen Aufgaben völlig überfordert zu sein? Wie funktioniert die Arbeit in Netzwerken, wie hilft man sich gegenseitig? Wie funktionieren DIY Strukturen, und was bedeutet das überhaupt? DIY muss nicht nur aus der Not heraus am Anfang einer Karriere stehen, sondern kann auch eine nachhaltig funktionierende Entscheidung für eine selbstbestimmte Arbeitsorganisation sein. Im Anschluss stehen die PanelistInnen für Nachfragen und Einzelgespräche zur Verfügung. Zudem laden wir einige Digital-Plattformen ein, die Dienstleistungen für DIY MusikerInnen und Leute, die mit ihnen zusammenarbeiten, anbieten.

Immer öfter werden unsere geliebten, kleinen, spontanen und kostenlosen Partys im Park frühzeitig aufgelöst, denn sie werden aufgrund von Lärm und Müll in eine kriminelle Ecke gestellt. Dabei leisten Free Open Airs einen wichtigen, innovativen und niedrigschwelligen kulturellen Beitrag zur Kreativhauptstadt Berlin. Die Clubcommission Berlin e.v. setzt sich im Rahmen des vom Musicboard geförderten Projekts»Pop im Kiez Toolbox«z.B. durch Runde Tische, Beratung und Weiterbildungsmodule, wie dem in Kooperation mit der IHK entstandenen»veranstalterpass«, für den Erhalt von Free Open Airs ein. In einem Workshop mit Veranstaltern werden die Erfahrungen der letzten Monate ausgewertet und festgestellt, auf welche Art der Austausch mit der Polizei, Behörden und der Politik weiter vorangetrieben werden kann, welche Handlungsoptionen es gibt und welche weiteren Bedarfe bestehen. MODERATION Lutz Leichsenring (Vorstandsmitglied Clubcommission Berlin e.v.) SPEAKERS Malena Medam (Clubcommission Berlin e.v., Projektmanagement Pop im Kiez Toolbox ), Thomas Scheele (Kulturersatz e.v.), Jürgen Schepers (IHK Berlin Branchenkoordination Kreativwirtschaft) D O THU 9/4 ENGLISH SPOKEN 11:15 11:45 FRITZ 2 KEYNOTE VUT INDIE DAYS Charles Caldas, the CEO of the global rights agency Merlin, which represents many of the world s leading independent labels, will give a keynote speech covering the results of the recent member survey undertaken amongst its over 600 members in 41 countries. He will also talk about Merlin in general and illustrate the future developments in an everchanging market. Merlin clearly represents the most valuable basket of recorded music rights outside of the three major labels, reflecting a share in excess of 10% of the global and US digital music markets, with much higher shares in markets where English is not the first language, reflecting the importance of independent investment in domestic repertoire around the globe. SPEAKER Charles Caldas (Merlin) 15

16 CONFERENCE DAY 1 D O THU 9/4 ENGLISH 11:45 12:45 FRITZ LOUNGE DEFINING THE ULTIMATE HOME MUSIC EXPERIENCE BY SONOS We live in a post-consumer electronics world. When you invest in a product, you are making a transaction towards an experience, not an object in itself. Music lovers are saturated with choice, making finding new music a challenge. Meanwhile, artists must navigate an increasingly complex media landscape to reach new audiences. How can we reduce the barriers between music lovers and music; artists and their audience? How can we create new and deeper connections to music through better products and services? How might data influence the music industry and music listeners? What new types of user experiences do we need to create and facilitate better connections between artists and fans? From the artist perspective, it would be interesting to explore questions as what do they think people wants from music nowadays and the role of musicians in the community. How is technology contributing to give artists creative freedom? Are artists today more in control of their own music and distribution? How are new media and music services re-shaping their relationships with fans? SPEAKERS PHOX (Band), Katja Lucker (Musicboard Berlin), Tim Exile, Ben Chapman (BBC Radio 1), Arno Kammermeier (BookaShade), Yasser Rashid (Sonos) D O THU 9/4 GERMAN SPOKEN 12:00 13:00 FRITZ 1 LABEL 3.0 Das unabhängige Musiklabel ist viele Jahre die Keimzelle der unabhängigen Künstlerentwicklung gewesen. Doch wie ist das 2014 funktioniert das noch? Was sind die aktuellen Entwicklungen? Braucht und gibt es Überlebensstrategien? Wie funktioniert Künstleraufbau und welche neuen Modelle gibt es? Wie gehen Labels mit neuen Marktteilnehmern um? Was sind aktuelle Herausforderungen? Und nicht zuletzt: Woher kommt denn bloß das liebe Geld? Diese und weitere Fragen werden die Panelteilnehmer_innen aus verschiedenen Perspektiven diskutieren.

In this demo-laden talk Paul Lamere explores how we can use mega-scale music data to help people explore, understand and even create new music. SPEAKER Paul Lamere (The Echo Nest at Spotify) D O THU 9/4 GERMAN & ENGLISH SPOKEN 12:00 13:00 C2 WHEN TEENAGE MUSIC FANS ARE YOUR AUDIENCE Many teenagers use different channels and media than adults to listen to music and participate in pop culture. How do music and media user statistics actually look like when you single out the year olds? And what specifics do music and video producers take into consideration when creating for a very young target group? What kind of media do they use, how do they address young people, what are their channels of interaction with fans? What do they know about listening preferences, mainstream and subcultures, tastes and attitudes of young people today? What kind of problems can arise and how to deal with them? This panel discusses experiences of working with teenage audiences from the perspectives of political education, video shows, and music and with the outcomes of a recent study on music user behaviour among teenagers.

Gudrun Schweppe (Google) D O THU 9/4 ENGLISH 14:00 14:30 W i MP LOUNGE GIVE LIFE BACK TO MUSIC HIFI MUSIC STREAMING DRIVES PASSION FOR MUSIC AND INCREASES WILLINGNESS TO PAY The huge amount of new music and the unlimited availability across all formats may cause music to be devalued by its own existence. We will show you how heavily curated quality music drives the passion for music and increases the willingness to pay. Let s take a look back to the golden age of record stores, and the position of the clerk behind the desk. What was lost in the transition between physical and digital music, and what has been achieved? Inspired by last years track Give Life Back To Music by Daft Punk, Sveinung Rindal from WiMP will divine the future of listening not in the sense of background sounds or the constant stream of music in shopping centers, but more in the traditional way of listening to high quality records through modern equipment. As the consumption of music rises, it is interesting to see how HiFi music streaming differentiates from low-quality superficial noise. SPEAKER Sveinung Rindal (WiMP Music) 22

26 CONFERENCE DAY 1 D O THU 9/4 GERMAN SPOKEN 14:00 15:00 FRITZ 2 LEGAL UPDATE 2014 URHEBERRECHT, QUO VADIS? Ein immer kleinteiliger Flickenteppich an Urteilen muss seit Jahren zusammenhalten, was die Digitalisierung vom guten, alten Urheberrecht übrig gelassen hat. Der Ruf nach Reformen ist groß, nicht nur wenn es um das Urheberrecht geht. Nach Jahren des Beobachtens aus der Deckung scheint der Gesetzgeber aufgewacht zu sein. Die Europäische Kommission hat 2014 eine Richtlinie erlassen und macht den Verwertungsgesellschaften neue Vorgaben. Demnächst wird ebenfalls von der Europäischen Kommission ein Weißbuch veröffentlicht, das den gesetzgeberischen Weg im Urheberrecht vorzeichnen wird. Die Bundesregierung will sich konkret mit dem Haftungsrahmen der Provider auseinandersetzen und ein Gesetz erarbeiten, das offene Rechtsfragen um die WLAN-Haftung abschließend beantworten soll. Zuletzt hat der Europäische Gerichtshof eine Reihe wegweisender Urteile gesprochen und weitere Orientierung geliefert. In einer spannenden Diskussion werden wir über die Auswirkungen aktueller Urteile sowie kommender Gesetze diskutieren und versuchen, einen Ausblick auf deren mögliche Auswirkungen für unabhängige Musikunternehmen zu geben. MODERATION Reinher Karl (Beiler Karl Platzbecker & Partner, VUT) SPEAKERS Charlie Phillips (Worldwide Independent Network), Judith Steinbrecher (BIT- KOM e.v.), Dr. Alexander Welp (GEMA), Heiko Wiese (Spitzenorganisation der Filmschaft (SPIO) e.v.) 26

27 CONFERENCE DAY 1 D O THU 9/4 GERMAN SPOKEN 14:00 15:00 C1 MUSIKER_INNEN LOUNGE: VINYL COMEBACK Vinyl liegt voll im Trend. Nachdem in 2012 erstmals wieder eine Million Schallplatten in Deutschland abgesetzt wurden, steigerte sich die Anzahl in 2013 sogar auf 1,4 Millionen Stück. Das markiert den höchsten Stand seit Immer mehr Künstler bringen ihre neuen Songs auch auf Vinyl raus. Fans sehen in der Schallplatte nicht nur den Sammlerwert sondern verstehen sie als wertvolles Gesamtkunstwerk mit ihrem Cover und Artwork. Im Gegensatz zu einer CD ist eine Vinylscheibe zudem haltbarer und sicherer, subjektiv gesehen auch weicher und wärmer im Klang. Die Berlin Summer University of the Arts greift diesen Trend auf und präsentiert im Rahmen ihres Seminars DigiMediaL_musik: The Business of Music in Germany die Vertreter von drei renommierten Berliner Schallplattenherstellern, die ihre Dienstleistungen vorstellen und Fragen rund um das Thema Vinyl beantworten.

A presentation with background information about some of the most important Swiss festivals. SWISS BUSINESS MIXER ZURICH MEETS BERLIN Despite its smallness, Switzerland is an important market for German and European artists. With its high number of festivals and concert venues, it will be interesting to discuss how this small market works and how it survives with a special focus on the question, how European artists can profit from these special circumstances. In a first panel»switzerland Land of Festivals«, Swiss festival bookers will present their strategy and give an inside view of their event. In a second panel called»meet the Zurich Club Scene«, a row of promoters will discuss the importance of the music scene for Zurich and the interaction with their Berlin partners. After the two panels, there will be live sets by the very unique artist»oy«and the band»wolfman«(both also performing at the m4music night at Postbahnhof).

DIGITAL CHALLENGES AND THE FIXATION ON NUMBERS For labels and especially musicians the rise of Digital and Social Media has brought up some great new chances for creating, sharing, distributing and selling their music. In theory, a band from a small town in Bavaria could now grow a fanbase in Brazil. Sounds easy, if there wasn t this big BUT. Undoubtedly labels and musicians are facing both new chances but also new challenges alike. Defining new ways of marketing, being creative, staying up-to-date about platforms basically they need to wear more hats than ever before. And over all this looms a fixation on numbers. In Social Media it s common word that content is king. So why are we so fixated on numbers like fans, followers and likes? SPEAKER Matthias Brinkmann (Believe Digital) 29

35 CONFERENCE DAY 1 D O THU 9/4 ENGLISH SPOKEN 15:15 16:15 FRITZ 1 HOW TO BEST SUPPORT ARTISTS NOWADAYS? ARTIST SUPPORT I In the past years, pop culture has received increased attention by public culture funding bodies. Many musicians today search for funding opportunities (public and private money) to finance their next album or tour, rather than relying entirely on the market. In some cases, e.g. Zoolabs or RBMA, private money flows into training or publicity for upcoming artists. In this panel, we bring together three innovative thinkers on artist support to share their visions and experiences on how best to go about helping musicians in the current economic and cultural settings. Is it about building and supporting infrastructures or providing equipment, do artists need training and mentoring, or should we establish musician residencies (as in the fine arts)? How do we allow for artists time to create great pop music low cost of living, increased entrepreneurial skills, a monthly stipend, or access to networks of collaborators? And do different forms of support make sense at different times in an artist s career? How can future artist support programmes be structured, and which gaps need to be addressed?

This learningby-doing in a social environment as well as sharing and re-using of musical ideas happens outside of the existing boundaries. If this will bring more joy and a bigger individual fulfillment then listening to ready-made music, why should we buy or sell music in the future? This leads to a disruption of the music creation and selling business model. But making music with anything and connecting creativity to all these new sensors should be open to everybody. While MusicTechFest brings together the pioneers, an easy-to-use technology platform should enable every creative person to use technology and tools, in the future music fab labs.

(BIKINI KILL) HOW TO ACHIEVE DIVERSITY IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS More than 20 years after the Riot Grrrl movement the music industry still lacks diversity. What has changed since then and what has not? Taking the role of women as an example, the panelists will discuss the status quo as well as possible strategies to create a more diverse music industry. What are the consequences for cultural diversity, if for example the majority of artists is white, male and has a university degree? And what are the implications for music businesses and their success? Do we really need measures to increase diversity or are they redundant? Bringing together people from different areas of the music industry to exchange their views and experiences, the panel will also address the challenges for women in the music business and how both, men and women, can change the situation on the creative as well as on the business side. This panel will not focus on complaining about the status quo but on finding possible solutions to achieve a more diverse music industry.
