Internet Centre Tuesday Talks

"You've Read The Blog, Now Go Buy The Soundtrack: investing value in music through building rich-content narratives"

Steve Lawson, Solo Bassist, Pillow Mountain Records.

Date: Tues 19 May 2009
Time: 4 p.m.
Venue: The Social Computing Group (Internet Centre), William Penney Lab
Website: http://www.stevelawson.net/

Musicians are at the forefront of exploring the 'third way' of online economic models by building social and cultural value into the narrative around their music life, and then providing mechanisms for that audience to demonstrate their appreciation or gratitude for that value by paying for it. Steve Lawson will speak about these models and mechanisms from his own extensive experience with online community building and direct marketing, both his own and those of the wider online music community.

Steve Lawson is a musician, writer and educator who has been exploring new and innovative ways to engage with his audience and build community around his music for over a decade, and now consults with artists and web developers and strategists about the present and future of artist/audience interaction.

Pre-registration is encouraged to assure a place.

Social Computing Group, Imperial College



The Social Computing Group (formerly the Internet Centre) was created in 2008 to develop the applications and industries of the next-generation Internet. The SCG continues and expands the activities of the Internet Centre and the London e-Science Centre.

The Internet will clearly continue to grow in importance and complexity as an economic and social arena. To meet this challenge, the Social Computing Group promotes a research agenda in which the economic, social and legal dimensions of the next-generation Internet are equal partners with computing and technology.

The Social Computing Group also works closely with leading commercial and academic stakeholders in the next-generation Internet, such as Vodafone, the BBC, and the London Science Museum.

The Social Computing Group is a part of the Department of Computing at Imperial College London
