MusicTech Rewinder - Issue #28

Hey,

this one is a special edition as it features an article that I wrote myself. I have spent the last months building a participatory platform which I hope will contribute to a fairer level-playing field in the music ecosystem. The Music Tech Directory!

The goal of the MusicTech Directory is to create a one-stop digital resource on innovative music technology solutions and the overall music tech landscape, accessible to everyone. For free.

ENJOY READING AND HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEKEND!

Cheers,

Matt
