The synopsis:

"In this installment of Sound Advice, we’re broadcasting an exclusive conversation between Imogen Heap, the Grammy-winning artist and founder of Auracles, and Eliah Seton, CEO of SoundCloud. Recorded live in front of a packed crowd at Web Summit 2025 in Lisbon, Portugal, this episode brings Imogen and Eliah together for a wide-ranging discussion on ethical AI, creative ownership and the future of the artist-fan experience. Building on the themes that Imogen and Eliah explored during their in-depth conversation, we’re excited to announce Auracles has now officially joined the SoundCloud Benefits Partner Program, expanding access for creators to better organize and protect their data."



"A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, they had a discussion about the ethics of using samples of other people's music..."

I will leave the comments or chagrin, or joy or some feeling to whoever gets whatever out of the clip.


I wasn't sure where to put this but I suppose it is a form of Industry news in some way. Initially I thought it was soundcloud attempting to get more people in and perhaps it is in some way but most people are into the fact there are very little benefits with them.
