Though the book doensn't appear to specificly address arranger keyboard produced music, it looks to be a fasinating prediction of the 'future of the music business & music entertainment & production, of which to stimulate some interesting discussions & debates here on the Synthzone.

I'm planning on purchasing the downloadable audiobook version of the book (in 2 weeks) when it becomes available (for download) at Audible:

http://audible.com

I encourage others here to pickup a copy of the book (or audiobook version) so we might share our thoughts about the book and compare its predictions about the future of music with ours.

Scott,

Thanks for the info. I've already passed the info along to a couple of friends that play in bands in Upstate NY where I live.

Let us know what you think of the book when you get it.
