Future of Music Policy Summit: Audio

A month or so back, I went up to Montreal for the Future of Music Policy Summit, held by the Future of Music Coalition to discuss intellectual property, business models, and music preservation. McGill U (which hosted the summit) has put audio from the sessions online. (The site's pretty slow right now, probably because Boingboing just posted a link to it....)

At Summit, my friend Geoff Farina was part of a panel ("Losing Music: Preservation and Storage") where he gave a brief overview of an NEA-funded project he's working on with me, Steve Doheny-Farina, and Juma Sultan. We're digitizing and archiving live audio recordings Juma made when he was part of the avant garde jazz scene in New York City and Woodstock in the late 1960s and 1970s. (This is probably the coolest academic research I've been involved in.) We got lots of great advice from other panelists on music preservation techniques, IP issues, and more.
