Elvis Presley, Serge Gainsbourg, Led Zeppelin, Kate Bush, Beyoncé, Daft Punk, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna : ces artistes n'ont pas seulement marqué l'histoire de la musique, ils ont aussi façonné et transformé une industrie, n'hésitant pas à bousculer les pratiques en vigueur pour mieux s'imposer. Ces grands noms du rock, de la pop, ou du hip-hop sont aussi des innovateurs qui peuvent inspirer tous ceux qui veulent développer des idées nouvelles. En mobilisant, de manière très accessible, les résultats les plus importants de la recherche sur la créativité et l'innovation, l'auteur montre comment les œuvres musicales naissent, prennent forme et se diffusent. Le lecteur pourra ainsi découvrir l'histoire souvent mouvementée de groupes sur la route du succès, les déceptions de créateurs de nouveaux instruments convaincus de leur réussite, et l'ambiance qui règne au sein des camps d'écriture où des équipes travaillent sans relâche à la création des hits de demain. Dans le monde de la musique enregistrée, il est nécessaire d'innover sous peine de disparaître. Et les leçons que l'on peut tirer en étudiant les musiciens qui produisent des œuvres, ou leurs labels qui imaginent de nouvelles techniques pour les soutenir, sont utilisables dans bien d'autres domaines. Ce livre s'adresse aux passionnés de musique, aux professionnels en charge des projets d'innovation, et à tous ceux qui veulent mieux comprendre le processus par lequel une idée créative devient un produit ou service à succès.

"During the mid-1950s, when Hollywood found itself struggling to compete within an expanding entertainment media landscape, certain producers and studios saw an opportunity in making films that showcased performances by rock 'n' roll stars. Such stars eventually found cinema to be a useful space to extend their creative practices, and the motion picture and recording industries increasingly saw cinematic rock stardom as a profitable means to connect multiple media properties. Indeed, casting rock stars for film provided a tool for bridging new relationships across media industries and practices. This book examines the casting rock stars in films from Elvis Presley to Madonna. In so doing, Rock Star/Movie Star offers a new perspective on the role of stardom within the convergence of media industries. While hardly the first popular music culture to see its stars making the transition to screen, the timing of rock's emergence and its staying power within popular culture proved fortuitous for a motion picture business searching for its place in the face of continuous technological and cultural change. At the same time, a post-star-system film industry provided a welcoming context for rock stars who have valued authenticity, creative autonomy, and personal expression. This book uses illuminating archival resources to demonstrate how rock stars have often proven themselves to be prominent film workers exploring this terrain of platforms old and new - ideal media laborers whose power lies in the fact that they are rarely recognized as such. Combining star studies with media industry studies, this book shows how stars have operated as both an organizational center for media production as well as social actors who have taken on a decisive role in the purposes to which their images are used"--
