/“This book offers an in-depth analysis of platformization and its 
consequences for the music industries. Rich in empirical evidence, using 
primary and secondary data, the authors utilize their research on 
MusicTech start-ups, independent artists, and live streaming musicians, 
to show that platforms are not neutral technologies, rather they are 
shaped by the social, economic, and political environments they operate 
in.” /*- PAUL G. OLIVER, Edinburgh Napier University*

*An up to date and comprehensive study of the latest developments in one 
of the fastest-moving and most innovative sectors of the cultural economy.*

The music industries are being reshaped by a fresh round of platform 
intermediation – one based on MusicTech, social media platforms and 
user-generated content, live streaming, crowdfunding and gamification. 
Andrew Leyshon and Allan Watson critically examine this latest wave of 
new platform music industries and consider how they are influencing 
music creation, distribution and consumption as well as their wider 
economic and cultural impact.

Drawing on a range of case studies and examples, the authors situate 
this latest wave of innovation within the historical context of earlier 
rounds of platform reintermediation and show that while debates about 
the moral economy of streaming dominate media accounts of the music 
industries, this focus on streaming alone obscures much of the 
complexity resulting from related and concurrent innovations.
