+ Overnight Sensation

We can access and enjoy any type of music now in so many different ways. The business model formerly known as the record industry has been completely changed by digital technology, computer software, and the internet. Myspace, i-Tunes, satellite and internet radio are just a few of the many options listeners have for enjoying music. Artists have creatively adapted to these new opportunities and are driving innovation.
As fast as everything is apparently changing, it is important to consider that what is happening is due to the cumulative effect of many people working very hard for a long time to get to this tipping point.
John Van Eaton has been involved in the world of poplar music as musician, digital audio technician and programmer. On the road and around the world on stage and in the studio, John has almost 20 years of experience with such acts as Nine Inch Nails, Guns and Roses, Linkin Park, KMFDM, The Lords of Acid, Love and Rockets and Bauhaus, just to name a few. A list like that certainly places John in the Electro/Industrial/Goth categories and may not be for a general audience, but to hear some great stories and insights into the state of the art then and now, check out this recent podcast interview at
