and…and…and…

A new release at Derivative Netlabel (Deriv.CC).

“and…and…and…” is a compilation of 37 tracks by different artists, all interpreting the same 60 seconds sampled from C. Reider’s “The Conjuncts“, itself assembled from samples of Creative Commons remixably licensed music. Despite the limited set of source material, this is a surprisingly diverse set of glitchtronica, ambient and noise.

It’s free, and (of course) licensed to allow for remixing!

Get it here:

Wingu – Leo Bettinelli & Jaume Muntsant

A new release at Vuzh Music!



A beautiful longform piece of continually evolving and changing sounds. Begins quite abstract, and eventually moves more toward a lyrical musicality.

I really like this release, and I think you will too. It’s freely downloadable, and streamable here:

C. Reider guests on Music Manumit

Monday, 27 May 2013

I was invited to chat with Tom & Doug of the Music Manumit podcast. Their show revolves around the use of Creative Commons licensing in music and attendant issues such as technology & access.

We discussed a wide range of topics including most prominently: experimental music, listening, remixability, commerce, CC licensing, sound art, netlabels, cassette underground… plus more.

Listen to the whole thing. You can stream at their website or download by right clicking the mp3 link.

Two new things on SoundCloud

Monday, 27 May 2013

This weekend I posted a couple of things to SoundCloud:

One is a recording done out my window of a crappy rock band playing a few blocks down at Fickel Park:



The second is an electronic noise / drone improv I did. No editing, just set-up and go:
