The iMod ???

(Dallas, Texas USA)

Imagine you hear a Chris Brown tune on the radio. Imagine you can press a few buttons on your iMod, and Chris is now singing your girlfriend's name, while Timbaland has your back on the drums. You have just purchased “modular components” to a song that fit you and your life. And, while Chris Brown may have made the frame song, the “chassis”, you have parted out a component to Timbaland.

We are moving towards an age where many people, DJ's, Listeners, Producers, Big Labels, and more can get on board and sell there unique part (the Modular), to a song. Imagine you're walking by Wal-Mart. You hear a Kanye West song, and in it he usually raps about “Geico for your money...”. But on demand, Walmart gets a chance to plug their own business.

This “parting out” concept is not a new business idea. The auto industry thrives on after market parts. They make more money on selling you a part for the car than selling you the whole car new!

And that will be the future of music. You will be able to buy parts, and with modern technology, you will interchange them on the Internet, throw in some effects, and you will have a tune especially designed for you.

“I envision that we will be selling parts of a new Madonna song that is exactly 1 to 4 bars in length, while we will simultaneously be selling, to the creative mind, parts (1 to 4 bars), from Diana Ross.”, says Gary Ruff the head of SundayisFunday.com

Ruff continues, “When we are able to get a standard to fit an on line sequencer such as the one at SpliceMusic.com, it will only be a matter of time before this whole industry is blown apart. The business man will still make his cut, but new opportunities will be had for all.”

It is essential that the record companies get on board and start getting this ball rolling. There is money to be made in this new concept. “I think the money will be made for record companies that sell the “parts” of their collections, and perhaps have a few in house artists who dazzle up their sounds.” adds, Ruff.

With an Online Sequencer, PayPal, iPod, and at&t for example, song parts should sell very well and very conveniently.
