By giving elements about how a music event producer and broadcasting networks work together, I will map music industry layers. Especially, I will question how audience —a talkative chat and silent viewers—and DJ act and build livestream as a music place, and test how musical is human learning about connexion, community sense, (a)knowledgment and relationship in livestream model comparing to rave or club.
