BANGKOK -- An online music festival may have struck just the right note in pandemic-weary Thailand, fueling hopes that virtual venues can help a slumping music industry shattered by the novel coronavirus.
Record label What The Duck held what was billed as the country's first-ever online music festival on June 7, powered by the Zoom videoconference platform. Performers did their thing in a studio in front of hundreds of streamed-in concert goers, accompanied by a computer-generated whale swimming lazily across the screen.
