ContentSphere is still available, including all its articles. I must admit that I should have devoted more time to it in recent years. Other projects took up more of my time. <\/p>\n

With the launch of WolfgangSenges.de in 2024, I have been trying to bring greater transparency to my wide-ranging activities in the creative and cultural sectors. A separate site for \u201cravelsberg.\u201d, my creative alter ego, will hopefully and eventually replace the links to Ampwall<\/a>, Bandcamp<\/a> und Subvert<\/a>. At the moment, posts on all topics are being consolidated under \u201ckreativ_schaltwerk\/_\u201d. Some of the older articles \u2013 some of which were not published on ContentSphere \u2013 are already available there. <\/p>\n

My current projects and activities give me hope that I will be able to give my numerous ideas, comments and new concepts the platform they deserve.<\/p>\n

If you are not familiar with my person, you can read about me in the sections “CV” and “Projects”. You can always find the updates on \u201cnow!\u201d. <\/p>\n

If you have any questions or requests for corrections, please contact me directly. It concerns content, data protection, and the implementation of open, LGBTQIA+-friendly, non-discriminatory language.

short bio.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wolfgang Senges, born in 1965, has been a freelance strategic consultant for innovation and a project manager in the creative industries since 2009. Since 2015, his work has focused on researching approaches to metadata validation using emerging technologies, whilst taking transformative influences into account. Alongside his freelance work, he works for PRO Agency GmbH as the coordinator of the MDQS research project. <\/p>\n

Prior to this, he spent ten years working in media asset management for broadcasting and archives. He is a co-founder of the German music industry\u2019s Blockchain & Metadata Working Group and a co-initiator of the Cultural Commons Collecting Society (C3S SCE), which he led as co-managing director until 2015. After conceiving and leading the \u201cLe Blockathon de la Musique\u201d in Cologne in 2019, he took on the role of project manager for the \u201cKulturhackathon OWL\u201d in 2021. Since 2022, he has been advising PRO Agency GmbH and Cargo Records, amongst others. For the Culture & Creativity Hub of the European Institute of Technology (EIT CC), he has been working as an external service provider in the role of an evaluator since 2023. <\/p>\n

As part of his work in the creative industries, he has worked with GEMA, GVL, VUT, BVMI, Fraunhofer IDMT, Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, MusicDNA, CREATIVE.NRW, the Marta Herford Museum, SafeCreative, and the artists Imogen Heap, Marillion, Martin Atkins, Amanda Palmer, Zo\u00eb Keating, Luci van Org and Ingrid Chavez, among others. In his spare time, he devotes himself to his electronic music project \u201cravelsberg.\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” color=”white” section_title_tag=”h3″ spacing=”3″ collapsible_all=”true” active_section=”99″ css=”.vc_custom_1706693626087{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” no_fill=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”cv.” tab_id=”1706440261148-16f80fc8-fb18″ el_class=”folder-section”][vc_separator border_width=”2″ color=”black”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”cv-date”]June 2025 – Present[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”cv-position”]<\/p>\n

The topic of the French-German “Le Blockathon de Musique” was the development of approaches to sustainably improve the income situation in the digital sector for those working in the creative industries, especially for musicians and composers. The programming challenges focused on the generation, validation and utilisation of metadata, the revision of existing workflows and the development of new business models. The guidelines proposed implementing the challenges using blockchain approaches and artificial intelligence methods. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blockchain has the potential to trigger disruptive processes. If Blockchain is used in the music industry, a framework must be defined to prevent potential damage. A collaborative approach, agile methods and transition management are identified and proposed as tools for successfully shaping the effects of the disrupted processes. Transition management in particular is recommended as an approach for research. The article applies blockchain concepts to areas of the music industry using examples. <\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the centre of the practice-oriented article is an initial draft for mapping the blockchain concept to the music industry, based on statements from an interview study with experts from music, technology and research. An impact assessment for collecting societies will be carried out based on this draft. Blockchain architectures can strengthen the attractiveness and position of collecting societies. However, a successful introduction of these technologies requires a detailed assessment of blockchain, a needs analysis of the music industry and, above all, a solution to the metadata problem. Integrating the new concept requires an increased level of coordination and communication in the form of collaborative approaches based on transition management principles. Consistent implementation with the support of the collecting societies can lead to the development of an expanded value creation space in the music industry. <\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Master’s thesis focuses on the practice- and product-orientated analysis of current online distribution business models (download portals) and their expansion and development through innovative follow-up models and variations of the value chain. The present work does not consider the abstraction to economic contexts. The analysis of the music industry market with regard to its current and foreseeable development is largely ignored. <\/p>\n
