http://archive.org/details/CHS15__La_Solana_Iker_Ormazabal_Oier_Iruretagoiena

The Implicit Order – Drifters
self released – CC BY ND – Boo! No derivs!
http://theimplicitorder.bandcamp.com/album/drifters
(A record with a sad premise, it’s based on an experience Anthony had knowing a young homeless girl who was murdered)

Oriol Rosell – [live]bcn 260311
República Ibérica Ruidista – No license listed – Boo! No derivs!
http://archive.org/details/OriolRosellLivebcn260311

CDRX – Greetings from Heidiland
Eg0cide – CC BY SA – Yay! Derivs allowed!
http://archive.org/details/eg0_092
(Freaking great collage work of field recordings with electronic modulation. I really like this.)

@c – Half Life, Still Life
Crónica – CC BY SA (license only listed on BandCamp) – Yay! Derivs allowed!
http://www.cronicaelectronica.org/?p=077
(ASCII pun on “at sea” aside, this is some really quite good electronic abstracted sound.)

Red Fog – Zone of Avoidance
DNA Productions – CC BY NC ND – Boo! No derivs!
http://archive.org/details/dna_146_red_fog_zone_of_avoidance
(Gah, drooooooone, so good.)

self released – CC BY NC ND – Boo! No derivs!
http://wingsofanangel.bandcamp.com/album/apocalyptic-love-poems-for-the-end-of-the-world
(I CAN NOT STAND the foofy titles to the songs (example: “Perhaps I’ve Failed, Perhaps I’ve Been Wrong My Entire Life, But My Lifelong Sadness Has Never Been As Beautiful As It Has Been On This Everlasting Night” *barf*) and that prejudices me against liking this stuff too much… I don’t know if it’ll survive for long on my hard drive, even though I’ve enjoyed the music.)

self released – CC BY NC SA – Yay! Derivs allowed!
http://transparentbody.bandcamp.com/album/black-lights-from-the-wandering-stars

http://zeroinfo.bandcamp.com/album/–15
(David Nemeth said it first, and I agree, it is kind of silly for an anonymous record to be put out with a restrictive copyright license.)

self released – CC BY NC SA – Yay! Derivs allowed!
http://cinchel.bandcamp.com/album/diamond-in-the-rough

Why do you share?

Saturday, 13 April 2013

The question that lingers from my sessions with Jennie Kiessling: Why do you share your work?
Why do you make it? Why do you share it?
I wonder about it. It seems a compulsion, but without reason? I doubt it.

This section from Thomas Bey William Bailey’s book “Unofficial Release”, quoting David Tibet (whose work I feel very ‘meh’ about) rings true, it resonates to a surprising degree.

Steven [Stapleton] and I always thought [the recordings] would be sent into the wilderness, as no one would care. Apparently people do, either by loving what we have done, or hating it. I do it because I am driven to do it. I [also] translate Coptic because I am driven to do it.

Tibet then admits that small-scale approval is not unwelcome, but he firmly rejects that approval (or rejection) of any kind is an influencing factor:

I have met many friends through what I have done. And friends always help us in our self-inquiry. I am interested in what people who know me think of my work, but only inasmuch as I am also interested in what they think of my new cat. Finally the work is ONLY for me. If those who know me make comments on it, I reflect on them deeply; but they don’t affect what I would have done. If fans like my work, I am happy. If they don’t, I am equally happy,


Derivative Netlabel

Thursday, 11 April 2013

I am pleased to announce the launch of a new netlabel, complete with a new album by C. Reider!

This is a big project with a big goal: to spur artists toward allowing people to sample from their work by use of derivative-friendly Creative Commons licenses.

It’s probably best to let Derivative Netlabel speak for itself, so please visit: http://deriv.cc.

While you’re there, please listen to and/or download the new C. Reider album “the Conjuncts”, an album made almost exclusively from samples of music licensed with derivative-friendly Creative Commons licenses.

The mission of Derivative Netlabel is to release free, new, sample-based music – specifically that which pulls its sources from the vast pool of sound that is licensed so as to permit adaptation or derivative work, (known colloquially in the netlabel community as “derivs”).* This mission is intended to serve as a support for artists and labels currently working with permissive licensing, and to raise awareness of the benefits of allowing work to be freely remixed by anyone.
