Make Music in your Browser?

very cool!

Obviously these applications are not going to respond like a full blown DAW, but the potential is definitely there. This is certainly worth playing around with and experimenting with. Who knows, you might get something you even like.........

Sign up with your email to get a couple of free lessons from Janeck Gwizdala. I just signed up and watched the dimished 7th chord excersize. I will definitely be adding this to my regular practice routine.

Thanks Janeck!

Greed and the Music Industry

Great paper/essay written by a Chicago artists that is becoming more well known these days. This is a re-print of a re-print as the original does not seem to be available these days.

Read it here.

quote:
"They’ve raised prices of CDs to punish us for losses to piracy, while of course; this only punishes honest music customers. RIAA has now stooped to sending out letters at random accusing internet users of sharing files and directing them to a website, where you can make “discount settlements” payable by credit card.

How can they sue you for $750 for downloading a digital song that’s sold to retailers for less than $0.70? I have yet to hear the answer to that question. So naturally, I think to myself: “Hey! I own a record label! How can I get involved in this profit party?”. Oh, RIAA is a private club. Small businesses don’t seem to be allowed.

So does this mean that if I sign with a major label I’ll get my fair share of these lawsuits battling the theft of my material? Nope. Artists are only compensated for post-recoup sales. 0% of this lawsuit money is trickled down to the artist. So basically, if you’re not one of these companies, you can’t win."

New Track: rockandroller

rockandroller by 31ric

This is a bit of a departure from the regular glitch like recordings i have been making. This track is a bit more drum and bass than the others I have done previously.

More free track goodness!!

These are performance mixes of a few of our tracks directly into Pro Tools, from this last weekend.  These are generally rough mixes, and do not include any overdubs by Mike or myself on our string instruments right now.


Enjoy!!!
