There’s been much discussion about wither rock and roll, there’s too much music & too much of it is bad. What happened and why? Did creativity fall prey to commerce and/ or technology? Has diminishing returns truly set in?

Michael Beinhorn began in NYC with Bill Laswell, Fred Maher and Cliff Culturi making ground breaking music in the band Material fathered by Giorgio Gomelsky. Since those early days he’s become an award winning producer, technical expert on recording technology, and writer who speaks his mind and names names when it comes to what goes on and the state of the music bizness today. The personal stories he tells and ideas he ponders on his Blog are a MUST read for all RBP people who still believe in the power and the glory of great music.
