ElmerJFudd Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/07/apple-platoon/ Apple has acquired Platoon, a startup out of London that works primarily with musicians but also other creators like writers to produce (it has its own studios), distribute and sell their work, using analytics to source talent, and figure out the best way to target and market that content: the modern-day tech equivalent of A&R services. https://platoon.ai Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Once they worked things out with Apple Records, becoming a "label" (whatever that is nowadays) became fair game. It makes sense that they'd have their own content to drive people to Apple Music, much as Spotify is trying to do and paralleling moves in the film industry at Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and yes, Apple Music or whatever their TV content will be called. Probably "TV." "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible! Hoo hoo!" - Daffy Duck "The good news is that once you start piano you never have to worry about getting laid again.
