Last week I made some music.
I was going to upload it here, but then I realized that SoundCloud is a much better host than whatever random WordPress widget I have installed. Check it out and Follow me!
I am liking SoundCloud quite a bit. It seems like a community of musicians interested in creating and sharing music with instant and free worldwide distribution. It is the future of music.
While I heralded Napster as the best thing to happen to music and support free music, it has become obvious that many artists disagree with me. They will defend the old guard with their copyright and lawsuits and will enforce the 20th Century model until they are extinct. Truly Free music does not exist when you can hear it for free, but when you make it for free. The cultural cost of commercial music is extremely high, both financially and artistically. SoundCloud is a virtual community founded on artist sharing and promotes everything I love about our modern technologies.
Yo. The author Cory Doctorow has a lot of great thoughts on copyright and the financial models around it. He’s a frequent contributor to boinboing.net.
I of course love soundcloud, too! After hearing your stuf and poking around I realized how little I have checked it out. There’s mucho good stuff there.
Rock on.
Thanks for the info. Lots of interesting stuff on that site (www.boingboing.net). I also really enjoyed your Wisp suggestion on FB. I had never heard it before, but I will definitely continue to listen. Free information and friendly tips combined with unprecedented instant access to most music means hearing great new stuff constantly. Thanks for wising me up!
