this is why you are here: the means for producing musical culture should be free. the fruits of our collective labor should not be taken by capitalist pigs in suits who did none of the work, should not captured and jealously guarded by those who would ruthlessly exploit our passions and work, should not be sheltered behind a legal apparatus heavy with its own contradictions, protected by the threat of violence.
copyright is a juridical apparatus of value extraction. it is a process of turning what is common and shared (culture) into an atomized, individualized object that can be owned. of course, we, having known that the assumptions the argument for the musical commodity is founded upon are faulty/empircally inaccurate/politically motivated, see a way out of the morass. hence, 'Freesound.'
Chain Snare #1 was recorded with a tascam dr100 and a rode shotgun microphone. that which binds us to the present can be modulated and transformed into something else. our chains are historical, but our electronic imaginations are astral.
