• George George - Label Manager, Regent St Records and Bassist/Frontman, Radiogeist
• Nick Fellingham - CEO and Co-Founder, Condense Reality

Synopsis:

In this episode, Amalie interviews George George, Regent St Records, and Nick Fellingham, Condense Reality, to explore a visionary new tech company that is putting real world live content into games platforms. We hear about how the company started out, what its involvement and interest is in the music industry, and why it is so important to drop real world content into games platforms. Through exploring case studies developed with Regent St Records, we also discuss how indie labels and smaller players in the music industry can benefit from leaning in to emerging tech startups, both in terms of generating revenue, reaching new audiences and providing new types of content, but also remaining relevant and helping to shape the future of cultural consumption. Since recording this episode, Condense have signed a deal with BBC, which has seen them create a New Music Portal, allowing emerging artists to perform live gigs with fans joining as an avatar and engaging in real time. Nick adds “This partnership positions BBC audiences at the very forefront of the evolution of what it means to be a music fan in an age where people all over the world can now come together in-game to experience live music. You can attend a gig with your cousin who lives hundreds of miles away and share a real moment with your favourite artist through the New Music Portal.”

BBC partners with Condense for immersive live events

Synopsis:

What happens when a Classical Label partners up with a volumetric video Start-up to create collectible holograms of their players? What playful, risk-taking experiments emerge, that could shape the future of artist/ fan relationships, bring new revenue models and begin scaling new technologies? In this special edition, bite-size episode, we focus on the story of LSO Live and US start-up Popins. As part of the BPI Match Maker Programme, which brings together startups and UK indie labels, Popins came to London to create collectible holograms for over 100 indie artists. One of their partners - LSO Live - is a Classical label keen to lean in to emerging technologies, to explore AR as a pathway to enhancing the live concert experience, and using immersive storytelling techniques to introduce more people to the joys of classical music. This episode discusses their collaboration, their interest in using emerging technologies to enhance the audience and fan relationship, and just how long they think it’ll be before AR is adopted as part of the mainstream music industry.
