The Creativity Rebellion: Escaping Big Tech’s Art Heist (Part 2)

from Too Much Music · host Alison and Greg Wilder

Greg and Alison return to detonate the incendiary claim that ended Part 1: Can you make art without selling your soul to capitalism? They dissect the music industry’s machinery, Spotify’s frictionless decay, and the eerie rise of AI-generated content while revealing how these forces drain creativity and trap artists. But hope sparks in the Fediverse: Alison shares her dive into Mastodon’s nerd-utopia, where community-run festivals like the Radio Free Fedi Fest and raw hardware synths fuel a rebellion against the attention economy. From Yamaha CS-30 patching rituals to the power of inefficient creativity, this manifesto declares: your art isn’t a product. It’s a sanctuary.Doctor Body is Alison & Greg's experimental electronic duo.PatternSonix is Alison & Greg's niche consulting firm focusing on the intersection between sound and AI.Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform or check us out at toomuchmusicpodcast.comMusic, blogging, & more from your hosts: Dr. Greg Wilder | Alison Wilder
