Minor Musics: Finland - Lau Nau & Kuupuu
After much lead-up and anticipation, ISSUE Project Room’s Minor Musics: Finland series commences this evening (10.29) with rare U.S. performances from Tomutonttu and Kiila (revisit/remix their music here). A two-part event, the program concludes with a second concert on 11.6 from Kemialliset Ystävät in collaboration with an excellent cast of NYC improvisers: Raphael Lyon, Samara Lubelski, Marcia Bassett, Tom Carter, Michael Bernstein, Pete Nolan, Taylor Richardson and Dave Nuss.
In honor of tonight’s concert, the lovely and enchanting Lau Nau & Kuupuu have shared a recording from their July performance at ISSUE, which served to first inaugurate the Minor Musics: Finland series. As a finale to their respective solo sets, the two women joined forces for a darkly gorgeous, loop-based improvisation – masterfully paced and seamlessly woven into a hauntingly evocative sound environment. Working in tiny bits of self-contained sound – quivering hand percussion, floating wisps of vocal melody, quiet swarms of synth drone – the ladies sent spinning upwards a continual stream of hypnotizing fragments ever-drifting towards the top of the sound mix. The effect was that of a slow but perpetual ascending motion without end – the feeling of swimming from the depths of an enveloping water towards a surface that somehow remains forever just out of reach. And yet, amidst the beautifully swirling and seductive textures, escape seems hardly the desired end.
Minor Musics: Finland is made possible through the generous support of the American-Scandinavian Foundation; the Consulate General of Finland; and ESEK, the Finnish Performing Music Promotion Centre; and Luses, the Popular Music Committee of the Foundation for the Promotion of Finnish Music, and the Arts Council of Finland.

Pod-safe Instrumental Themes
|
My friend Paul asked if I had any pod-safe instrumental music suggestions for his public radio show pilot. He'd already found the YACHT instrumental album, and these Woodgrain Session tracks by NJ's hip-hop producer Pre, and was looking for more in that vein. So I compiled this mix of Creative Commons-licensed instrumental jams. A few of these tracks have vocals ("Mirror Friends" at the beginning, spinningmerkaba has the refrain "Inspire Me Forever" and Thick Business has some subtle vocoder) but I think they'd all make great, unobtrusive music to listen to at the begging of an online radio show. If you click on the name of the track (or press the "i") you'll see the Creative Commons license with the terms by which the music can be used. All CC licenses require attribution, and these tracks also include the NonCommercial clause. Some have have the ShareAlike clause, meaning that if the work is modified for inclusion in the podcast, the podcast itself would also need to be distributed under a Creative Commons license. A few have a NoDerivatives clause, which means the song cannot be remixed, modified, or included in a new work like a video (a podcast is ok though because it is a "collective work"). As with all CC licenses, any of these conditions can be waived with permission from the rights-holder. Creative Commons' Podcasting Legal Guide goes into these issues more in-depth if you'd like to research further. |
The track page also lists other people who've liked the song, or included them on their own mixes (some of them I've mixed before too!), so it may lead to other FMA finds. If you're on the prowl for CC instrumentals in particular, you can always filter your search results for pod-safe instrumentals. I'd also check out Bennett4Senate's Tracks to Sync series, and this mix of CC-BY and CC-BY-NC music as heard on CBC Radio's tech/culture show Spark.
One browsing method currently in development is a recommendation system where you can enter the name of an artist whose music you're looking for, some criteria about how you're looking to use it (i.e. in a video? is it a 'commercial' use?), and the FMA will offer some suggestions from our library. So in other words, what I just did for Paul could be replaced by an algorithm...but of course we'll still have curators and people like you to joining in on all the music sharing here on the Free Music Archive, it'll just be another way to discover exactly what you're looking for, whether you know it or not.

Cheapmachines Are Go!
It always puts a spring in my step to see another established artist throw their hat in the ring with the FMA. Cheapmachines (Phillip Julian) is a long standing experimental/electronic artist based in London. He started putting his work out on various experimental labels like Staalplaat, HalloGallo and Foxy Digitalis in various formats. The great thing about Phillip is that although a lot of his output was originally released in very small quantities he has now made a concerted effort to put a large portion of his discography available for free on his own site and now here.
A good example of this is a full length release that Phillip has just uploaded here. Flaunt originally came out in 2005 on Foxy Digitalis and was limited to 100 copies. Now with the entire work on the FMA more people can enjoy this great release of drone and harsh electronic noise. I included one track in this post but the work should be listened to in its entirety. Enjoy!
