Surveying Better Gender Diversity Within the Music Industry and Audiences

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 09:09:00 +0100

In this case study, we will collect responses in English and Italian among music professionals and fans on LineCheck, and compare their answers with 10,000s of answers from their countries, from other occupational groups, and other countries.

What are the benefits of recycling and harmonizing surveys?

Surveyharmonies allows you to make more, bolder, and better-supported statements for your argument. Our technology vastly improves the quality and the inferential capacity of your surveys.

Retrospective survey harmonization means that your answers (we surveyed about 1500 music professionals in 2019) can be compared with other respondants (for example, the same questions asked in Eurobarometer from more than 30,000 people.)

Who we are asking?

We are asking music professionals in almost 100 artistic, technical or managerial roles. The way we form the questions make your answers comparable to the worlds largest database of musicians’ (anonymous) income and working condition database, and many non-music specific survey programs, such as Eurobarometer or the European Values Survey.

What are we asking?

We are asking questions that have been asked before. We created a small demonstration survey to show how we can better understand gender diversity in the music sector. We will anonymously record your answers, and connect them to the answers of more than 28,000 people who answered these questions earlier.

In your opinion, are inequalities between women and men nowadays very widespread, fairly widespread, fairly rare or very rare in the country where you live?

This question was asked in the

Eurobarometer 82.4 survey

Eurobarometer 82.4: The European Parliament, Autonomous Systems, Gender Equality, and Smoking Habits, November-December 2014.

This means that we can compare what different occupational groups, men and women, different age groups answered to this question.

And within the music business or music non-profit sector of your country?

We are asking And within the music business or music non-profit sector of your country, are inequalities between women and men nowadays very widespread, fairly widespread, fairly rare, or very rare in the country that you chose (where you live and work?) to gain more insight about the potential differences within the music sector and the country where the music professional lives.

Works best if you use this from music professionals and non-music professionals in the same country.

In your opinion, in your country, in the year around 2030, do you think that …?

The image of women will be less stereotyped in the media (compare)
Men and women will earn the same pay (compare)
Men will take care of more household and family tasks (compare)
Women will be more represented among Heads of State and government (compare)
Women will be more present in traditionally masculine professions (compare
Acts of violence against women will have decreased (compare)
Women’s rights in developing countries will be better recognised (compare)

This question was asked in the

Eurobarometer 72.2 survey in 2009.

Eurobarometer 72.2: Nuclear Energy, Corruption, Gender Equality, Healthcare, and Civil Protection, September-October 2009.

This means that we can compare what different occupational groups, men and women, different age groups answered to this question. In 2009, 2030 was a long way many years ahead, but not any more. We could ask this question in two different ways again. We could ask what people think about 2040 to have a similar perspective, or re-ask how they think about 2030 which is only 8 years away by now.

We will carry out the research outlined in our feasibility study within the [OpenMuse] project from 1 January 2023 in an open collaboration with cultural policymakers, the local music ecosystem, and open source developers. Our partner, MXF tries to put the findings into actionable data services in Lithuania and Ukraine with the help of MusicAire. We develop open tools that can be applied in Utrecht, the Hague, Budapest, Tallinn, Vilnius, Bratislava, or anywhere.

This is a past event. Check out our forthcoming events or write to Daniel Antal or to antaldaniel. Or send an email.

Our ongoing project since 2014 is Listen Local. We would like to find out how can a local music ecosystem, or a small scene avoid being colonized by global players on streaming platforms, radio, or in-store music. How can we make sure that music recommendations connect bands in Utrecht with fans in Utrecht? If a Polish band is visiting Utrecht, music lovers will find their show?

We are arriving at opening to Klein Berlijn at 17.00 where you can sit down with a coffee or a beer to chat. No reservation needed. At 19.30 we are getting on our OV fiets and cycle over to the Vechtclub where we will meet people of the local indie scene, Tiny Rooms, and see two independent bands on stage.

As the sales and promotion of recorded music get fully automated, and even the curation of music for live events gets more and more influenced by machine learning outcomes or social media metrics, how can a DIY label remain relevant? How you can run a small club or a label without having to invest in a multi-million euro data engineering team? Make sure that the algorithm will learn successfully your music offering.

‘I feel at home where people care’ Read Gabija’s interview and check out the band with us.

Reprex’s motto is big data for all. We want to fight data inequalities, data monopolies, and make big data and AI work for self-released artists or small labels, too.

Gabija and Daniel are visiting Utrecht to meet DIY musicians, labels, researchers, fans and friends to find new partners for our Listen Local projects. On an intellectual level, we are interested in trustworthy AI, data feminism, and providing a proper digital representation to music and live performances for all. On a more emotional level, we want to meet musicians and music lovers from the indie scene.

We want to help independent artists to find their next audience, and fans to find their next favorite record or a truly fulfilling live music experience. Gabija had a conversation with The Kurws in our Listen Local Interviews series. She asked the band about where they are coming from, where they want to go? Where they are local? And what they have to offer to the people who will join us on 31 October 2022 in Utrecht?
