This is an important conversation with cultural worker Brodie Conley who breaks down the ways that financialization in music is taking place and the cultural violence it entails. Brodie speaks about the ways that this fans out through both digital streaming platforms and the ways that it works to shift frameworks of culture around music creation at a grassroots level. Critically Brodie speaks on the importance of organizing against the force of financialization in music.
