"Sono venuto da questa fottuta periferia per conquistare il mondo" (John Lennon)
Anyone who has ventured into the world of music has dreamed since childhood of breaking through in some way. We grew up with the hope of making the big leap, finally leaving the smelly garage with posters of Belen or Angus Young where the band rehearsed to play at the local venue and be noticed by an unlikely record producer. Well, even my three-year-old nephew knows that times have changed. You might even discover by accident that by uploading a video on YouTube, you can receive millions of views every day and build a career, that Facebook is a great way to interact with fans, finding out, for example, that they share your music and tastes. In short, today there are the means and opportunities to realize that dream by working hard.
"The New Rockstar Philosophy" is one of the first books in Italy that helps adopt new strategies for the independent musician, to plan an "Intelligent" management of their career by helping to uncover resources, to immediately work on one's reality to share with a large number of people in real-time. The book, in reality, is the translation of a publication released in Canada curated by Hoover and Voyno, which is a summary of the blog of the same name. The Italian edition is curated by Claudia Galal and Tommaso Colliva, respectively a music journalist and producer for Muse, Afterhours, and Calibro 35. The preface is by Manuel Agnelli, the beloved - hated Italian symbol artist of independent productions.
Written in a clear and easy-to-assimilate manner, the text is a true practical manual for those venturing into the music field but also for those who want to keep updated on the new means of distribution and dissemination of the musical artistic product, from merchandising to managing a band as a small business with costs and revenues. A small - great help that can recreate, in this confused record crisis, new talent foundries and a new way of disseminating the musical product far from market logics.
