*New Venue: Angelica’s Bell Theater & Bistro, Redwood City, CA*
century ago, technology brought recorded music to everyone. Since then, it has put your record collection in your pocket and a recording studio in your home. The internet changes the way music is marketed and disrupts old business models.
But in the next decade, there is a still bigger change coming. The confluence of cloud services and mobile phones and other technologies are enabling new ways to create music, share it, learn and practice, rehearse, compose, collaborate and perform.
Join us for a fascinating discussion of the future of music and the direction of technology for musical expression!

Working with the latest music recording and social sharing tools, Scot is carving a niche in the music community. He is a featured artist on Soundcloud.com and regularly performs in and around the Bay area. San Francisco based Scot introduces us to his up coming new album, “Heads or Tales” and is recognized as an innovative music maker and a unique, one of a kind style-forging pioneer.

Although we all enjoyed our past meeting location, for accessibility reasons, we’re so glad to see that SVII has changed its Dinnerlogue meeting place to a location that is more accessible by public transit, most notably CalTrain, and that it is a bit closer to San Francisco, the East Bay, and North Bay, for innovators who live all over the Bay Area. For our friends who are visiting, if you are not a member of SVII, you are invited to attend anyway!
Please note: Although we’ve been posting advance announcements about Silicon Valley Innovation Institute programs on this blog for the past few years, we originally started doing so because at that time, SVII did not publish its own blog, and the organization was just beginning to use social networks to further its community discussions. Now, however, SVII has its own blog and a strong social presence, so we may change our approach to publishing the organization’s program announcements here on this blog. Stay tuned…we’ll announce any significant editorial or policy changes well in advance.
We greatly appreciate the support of our readers in the Creative Sage™ Community. Your questions, comments and suggestions are always welcome!
