‘There are a lot of genius’ in the world, I’m not, I just pay attention to that empty space of curiosity for something that doesn’t exist but you would love to have it’
Pharrell Keynote at MIDEM 2010 from thecashmerethinker on Vimeo.
Pharrell Williams appeared at MidemNet this morning, and told the music industry that it had to embrace technology without trying to control it. ‘I think Steve Jobs made it very clear it’s all about technology, and if you’re the one that’s riding that horse, you’ll get to your destination. If you’re walking behind, you’re a follower,’ he said. Williams also described illegal downloading as “just taste-testing”, saying that music fans shouldn’t be demonised for trying to hear new music any way they can. ‘People have so many options and choices, we should allow them to taste-test, to decide if that’s something they wanna be involved with – from technology to products to food.’
