The development of digital
audio technology or MP3 has eliminated
the careers of artist and musician all over the world. The musicians
automatically stop working because they no longer earn income from selling
tapes that can be in the millions of copies. They are forced to expect from
concerts only that do not necessarily exist in a year. The digital audio music
phenomenon no longer creates musician and artists that existed in the 80s and
90s. The idealism of musicians and
artists who are famous in the past is now gone. Their song that sometimes speak
out the voices of people, the voices of humanity,the voice of social life,the
sound of peace,the voice of nature, the voice of anti war,the voice of anti
discrimination and anti tyranny, now it’s quiet. What emerges is only artist that speak about their own pleasures and
complains that the song can be sung by kindergarten children and elementary
school children.
Many recording studios all
over the world have gone bankrupt, shop selling tapes and Compact Disc into history have been replaced by street
vendors selling MP3 CDs, the contents of CD are still old songs that always
alive forever compared the 2010 song that contained without meaning. Now we are
no longer waiting for the latest album from a singer and a band group.
The changing movement of technology
and time will never again return to 80s and 90s era, where musician and artists
were rewarded with their song that could influence the state’s policies and
even the policies of the United Nations (UN). In this era we have been
entertained by magic objects that are in our hand, this One Eye has a role in cutting
the regeneration of idealist musicians and artist who voice the
social,political and nature. Hopefully the songs in the past will continue to
live throughout the ages and continue to be sung by the generation without
losing the meaning and philosophy of the poem, because songs with the theme of
wisdom are always in accordance with the conditions of human life wherever and
whenever.
In the digital era which
began in 2012 and above, it detrimental
for sale of Audio CDs and MP3 CDs. Through the android application on
mobile, everyone can download or listen to music through the internet . By
buying an internet credit, all can be enjoy through You Tube and other non stop
website music without tape, as in the past using tape,walkman and MP3 Player.
Music listeners in this era use more of their cellphones, because anything can
be done with one grip and one touch.
Because of the effects of
the digital era and the ease of internet networks, traders who sell MP3 CDs
have begun to decrease. They are no longer visible in malls and plaza, although
there are some who survive in traditional markets,another is the small and
medium business trading that goes bankrupt. As before recording studios
and cassette or CD shops closed their
businesses because of the pirates CD sales, then in the internet era pirated
CDs sellers eventually collapsed
With the changing times and
changes in electronic and communication media, world musicians must follow the
situation. The songs that originally recorded at famous recording studios,
right now can record it themselves and sell it themselves without producer
intervention through social media and the internet, but the results obtained
are not the same as the era of Audio CD or Tape Cassette. Which is where the success
of musicians is determined by how much the sales of the tapes are, but now the
song is calculated by how many followers,listeners and likes on You Tube. So in
the internet era, famous artists and bands emerged through You Tube media, also
solo music player who only used one computer application could arrange music
with various kind of musical instrument without the interference of others,
only using applications such as Fruity Loop to be music.
