My guest today, trombonist and arranger Christopher Bill, is the most subscribed brass musician on YouTube. His all-trombone content has amassed more than 85 million views and over 500,000 followers. He is an active educator on the trombone festival circuit and publishes sheet music of his arrangements on his website classical trombone.com. I really admire the approach he’s taken with his career and he had a lot of things to say that I think will be extremely helpful to anyone trying to build an audience online. We also talk about what it really means to go viral, how to take advantage of vertical video, and at the end of the episode we’ll listen to two of his arrangements.

Paper may have finally met its match in Boian Videnoff, my guest today, the co-CEO and co-founder of Enote, a music technology startup in Berlin developing powerful AI-technology capable of digitizing sheet music into fully interactive musical scores. It’s an ambitious company with the end goal of ultimately replacing all physical sheet music. There are some insanely cool things that the company is working on and as I told him, I am equal parts excited and terrified to see what will come of it. Who knows where all this goes, but the potential of what might change in the next 5-10 years as the result of AI is really mind blowing and I think you will find this conversation to be extremely eye-opening.
Also check out Episode 11 of the podcast which talks about how text-based AI like ChatGPT can help composers with some of the mundane tasks involved in marketing music.
