Abstract

The article proposes an analysis of the production and consumption of music based on the ideals of the California Ideology. It is understood that this ideology contains elements to comprehend the development of contemporary technology and the various practices derived from it. The transformation of various aspects of daily life is considered through the lens of digital culture, the datafication of information, and the automation of skills. The study will examine aspects such as home studios and the Do-it-Yourself (DIY) culture, as well as the platformization of cultural content, in the context of personal data collection and surveillance capitalism.
