“Free Music” (Used 5 times)

Kill The Record Industry,

Save the Music.

Dead Bees records give special care into releasing periodic compilations – “Dead Bees records label samplers” - as milestones of the extended Dead Bees family ongoing work. These samplers are made available as physical CD-R, but also as free digital releases, under the terms of Creative Commons licenses.
It is our deepest belief that music must remain free and these releases are a gift from the artists to their audience.
This music is meant to be shared, so please spread those records. Make copies of them, and give them away.
We will also post it onto various websites, soon-to-be-sued file sharing portals, and onto non-profit free music, such as Archive.org or FreeMusicArchive.org.

The making of these compilations, with the aim to share them for free, appears to be more meaningful now than ever. When the old established music industry is desperately trying to prevent its empire from collapsing, blaming the wrong people for its decline, releasing free music is more than a friendly giveaway, it's a deliberate ethical move. Here's our choice: we either let the masses consider music as any industrial goods, or we try to remember there is more in art & music and see beyond copyrights and profit. Music is about sharing feelings, emotions, decibels. And this should remain priceless. Does this mean music makers should not fulfill their piggybanks ? Of course not, it's time we all create a new economical system working rather for the best interest of musicians than for industrial holdings'.

Originally due on 10/10/10, our tenth sampler got a bit delayed. We are sorry about that. This new compilation tracks were gathered last summer for an early batch, and some others were recently added over the past weeks. This very long process got us more tracks than we could include on a single CD, so we had to put some of them aside. This means we already have material ready for sampler #11!

Dead Bees #10 new track providers include: FEDERALE (Collin Hegna, from THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE, Portland, Or), THE RUSTY BELLS (Toulouse, Fr), OSTRICH TUNING (Toronto, On), PETE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (Peter Holmström from THE DANDY WARHOLS, Portland, Or), THE COBBLESTONES (Paris, Fr), GEORGE (Paris, Fr), TREASURE MAPS (New York, NY), THE DEAD MANTRA (Le Mans, Fr).

The next release came from our Russia-Connection, the child prodigy (Nedejda Orlova, 17) comes from the Russian "window to Europe", St. Petersburg, already five years old, she plays outstanding piano and discovered already tender age of 14, the night club life! With the new release [DAST006_LP] is her first electronic post, since curious and listened to what the little girl Nadejda has to say in her story "Tales from the disco" so!

On September 16th, Bandcamp will start charging users who use the music-hosting platform to offer free downloads. The announcement may have broader implications concerning the current climate for free music online.

Some are decrying the move as a withdrawal of support for the netaudio community, but while Bandcamp launched completely free, it was only a matter of time before the business model came into play. In a post titled "It's a Business Model!", Bandcamp's co-founder Ethan Diamond announced that they would start taking a 15% revenue share of sales made through the site. Though it's a far cry from major label practices of old, some users feel Bandcamp has gone "from a revolutionary service, one that had the power to change to rules of the game (and did!) [to] more like an old fashioned record label," wrote commenter guyha in response to Bandcamp's announcement.

These shifts are a reminder that what appears to us as "free" online actually has its costs. While digital distribution often feels free, bandwidth and server space are not. Everyone who used Bandcamp for free music -- either because they believed in the values of free culture and/or as part of a larger business model -- essentially added up to dead weight as far as Bandcamp's business model was concerned. Now we understand that Bandcamp intends to rely on artists to bring money to the site, whether it's through sales or an out-of-pocket investment.

Según la descripción de trastienda.org: "El mini álbum homónimo de Good Idea/Bad Idea fue grabado en riguroso directo, mezclado y producido por Bernardo Faustino en sus estudios de Salamanca, tratando de hacer una radiografía de lo que este joven dúo es capaz de hacer en sus directos. Siete cortes de post-hardcore instrumental y austero, pero lleno de matices y guiños a los clásicos que sirven como fantástico punto de partida y carta de presentación."

Un dúo a seguir.
