    David Byrne on the the transformation of music:
    “So when music as a product, as a consumable object, is subverted and undermined by technology and by its own success, then maybe we have come full circle. Maybe if music is no longer seen as an object, but as pure information, data, sound waves, then the object becomes at best a mere delivery device, and weíre back to viewing music as an experience, albeit still one that other people produce.”
