網上集資 (crowdfunding) 是當下的熱門關鍵詞,您有沒有想過或者試過出錢投資自己或者別人出唱片和搞音樂會?今日,實現這些夢想,不再是天文數字,可能只要數百數千元,便可集腋成裘。
數碼科技、社交網絡對音樂文化帶來甚麼新的可能性;數碼充權 (digital empowerment) 對於樂迷、音樂人、創業人、年輕人、文青、buskers 、indie bands 等不同群組,又有甚麼啓示?
唱作人/音樂創業家林一峰,將現身港大通識,分享他的音樂創業藍圖和最新音樂平台Music Bee。

Crowdfunding is definitely one of the hottest key words these days.  Platforms, such as Kickstarter, Fringebacker, Indiegogo, have been the catalysts to many creative projects, from ideas to implementation, from dreams to dream come true. What are and will be the new possibilities brought by digital technology and social media in music culture? What revelations can digital empowerment mean to music fans, composers, musicians, buskers, indie bands, entrepreneurs, and young people?
