Best CC Moment 2010

It is a sad moment but we believe it's significant. File Under Toner's album titled "This Is The End, Beautiful Friend" uses the last lines of vinyls. It workd with the end silences of the records. Anki Toner's work takes to the limit the exception issues related to Intelectual Property. The highlighted moment appeared when the archive.org, probably its robots identified the credits and censured the album. They took it down. This incident was explained by Anki Toner in our 1oth program (in this season) and you can read more about it on Anki Toner's web.

Sven Swift’s Best Free Music Moments 2010

mo. — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 12:06:37 +0000

Sven Swift is one of those people, whos heart is burning for music. Ever since I got to know him, Sven Swift releases music, makes music, makes tapes, makes something experimental as long as it has to do with music. While we wrote reviews on a high output level from 2007 to the beginning of 2010 for Phlow-Magazine.com, we now take it slow - the family has grown.

Currently Sven Swift focuses totally on his second netlabel - after 12rec.net - called Error Broadcast. And this is also what these charts are about. They are about electronic, abstract, bass-heavy and HipHop-inspired music. I call it Sven Swift's Best Free Music Moments 2010 because not all tracks were released under creative commons licence but the musicians uploaded them to the web to spread the music. So go to the websites and download these anthems and enjoy!

So how about a favorite netaudio idea: "Digital Seven-Inch" -- like a hybrid blog and record label. I wrote about it here in regards to Ampeater Music, with shout-outs to Bad Panda Records, Beko-DSL.

"I like music. I don't really care if it's free or commercial. Though I learn daily that most of the music I like is free.

I work Twitter. I love Tumblr.

Mary Baker Eddy says about music: 'I want not only quality, quantity, and variation in tone, but the unction of Love.' I second that the more music I listen to."

Best Moment 2010

I was so happy to learn that the wonderful Camomille Music label is back and more alive than ever. And I enjoyed my conversation with Vincent Fugère about the comeback of Camomille so much. And I ran into my all-time musical hero Howard Jones backstage in Kiel this year and chatted for around 20 minutes with him. This might not count as a netaudio moment, but to me, it was my "music moment" of the year, really.

Quetzal Contla’s Best Creative Commons Music Moments 2010

mo. — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 11:50:39 +0000

In 2006 I discovered netlabels through a website which is now known as Mixotic. I found it something amazing. In 2007 I had participated in the project with several mixes and I started a blog in relation to netaudio. It wasn't long till I started my own netlabel. It's still very exciting to collaborate with people around the globe. I like it because there are no hierarchies, no need of authority. Prominent roles are much weak compare to the 'mainstream world'. Looking for free music is strictly related to human freedom.

Best CC Moment 2010

I think this hasn't been an easy year for netaudio. Some of the best netlabels have reappeared as copyright pay-per-download sites. There's also a great amount of free-to-download music but not right-free out there, and copyright netlabels which generate confusion. However netaudio has overgone the 'great world crisis' and new netlabels sprout day after day. This year's best aspects are the great quality and quantity alternative netaudio resources, specially Ayoze García's Intangible23, the russian portal Techno-Locator,new blogs as Disruptive Platypus ans Musica Selection and the compilation shared by New TechnoID, Free Music 4All and Phlow.es itself. Many discussions and points of view which keep the music phlowing. Kepp it up!

Christian Grasse is one of Germanys top journalists if it comes to creative commons and especially creative commons music. On the public radio called Deutschland Radio he and colleagues broadcasted a serie of shows, interviews and features about the creative commons scene - not only the German scene. All shows were published under a cc licence. But let Christian speak for himself:

"Ever since I got in touch with music I felt the desire to share the songs I loved. It began with mixed tapes and burned CDs for friends. Now, quite a few years later, me and some friends run a netlabel called www.aaahh-records.net and we help artists to get their music out to peoples ears and hearts all over the world.

On the way to England we realized that our hobby (running a netlabel) became a vital part of our real life and that we found good friends in this digital world, that are connected through music. Beeing there, realizing that, was a great moment.

"In 2010, Japanese Net Label, Maltine Records became the big label. I interviewed for many net labels several years ago. but I never asked Maltine, "Why do you start the Netlabel?". Yes of cource, it is a question without need, I think. "How" is more important than "Why". "How" turns into "Do" and "Did", and I can confirm the answer of the question as a result of past. I think that the event of the Kulturkreis that is "not English" is hard to come to the other countries. but, Maltine Records did Good Release and Good Event in Japan. Please check these release that are the evidence!"

Applejux’s Creative Commons Music Netlabel Moments 2009

mo. — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 23:12:58 +0000

Happy netaudio decade | It has been 10 years since I discovered netlabels. While scrobbling my hard drives I found some 1999 MP3 files! That was last century, right?!?. What could have been considered as a crazy/shocking new marketing idea - that is: giving (ocassionally good) music for free - is now a common strategy in any music related enterprise.

While some consider a constant decrease of the differences between netlabels and conventional/traditional/former labels - an idea I totally support - I can still evidence what has always been my personal difference criteria amongst both worlds: creativity. It's not just about high quality music but about the knowledge generated within its community, about sharing and developing services, tools and ideas. Being a teacher myself makes this last sentence so important. After the words, the tunes. On quite a hurry, I've chosen some of my 2009 top spots, happy to share them with you. Merry xmas!

mo. — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 23:05:17 +0000

Don Ludwig, Antina Michels and Raimund Reintjes prepared one - if not the most - exciting creative commons music festival in 2009. Netaudio Berlin 2009 presented nearly hundred artists, groups or music projects making noise in the free culture movement called netaudio. It was a place, where free music lovers met - sometimes for the very first time. We interviewed the netaudio berlin heads in october and are proud to present their charts now. Enjoy!

Free Music Archives’s Creative Commons Music Netlabel Moments 2009

mo. — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:04:10 +0000

I'm honored to take part in Phlow's year-end list-making tradition - it's a very cool and important project for the future of netaudio culture. As 2009 comes to a close, we have more free music at our fingertips than ever before, which is mostly good but it also means it's still easy for good music to get lost in the shuffle. Thankfully there are some amazingly attuned digi-crate diggers out there - like the Phlow Magazine team - who are determined to uncover every single mp3 gemstone the world wide web has to offer.

WFMU 91.1-FM founded the Free Music Archive with a similar curatorial mission - to extend radio's promise of "free public access to curated audio" into the digital era. Since our beta-launch in April, the Free Music Archive has become a platform for esteemed curators of all stripes - not just radio stations but also venues, festivals, magazines, museums, arts organizations, historical projects, and some of the world's finest positive curatorial forces in netaudio (shout-outs to Phlow, BlocSonic, Creative Commons, Weirdo Music / WM Recordings, Cash Music, Free Albums Galore, Oddio Overplay). In less than a year, the FMA library has tripled in size to include nearly 15,000 songs. And - as our homepage says - "it's not just free music; it's good music".

In other words, it was extremely difficult to pick just five highlights out of so many thousands! In fact, if you'd've asked me this morning, or after I had a chance to dig through all the other fantastic recommendations in this series, I probably would've had a completely different list. Anyway, here are just a few of the many things that I personally loved this year, not representative of the tastes of the FMA as a whole, but if you want thousands more check out freemusicarchive.org or follow Free Music Archive Twitter.

Rute Correia’s Creative Commons Music Netlabel Moments 2009

mo. — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 22:05:57 +0000

Marca Branca (in english “White Label”) is a portuguese netaudio radio show and podcast, produced and hosted by Rute Correia. It airs weekly on Rádio Zero in Portugal and Radio Filispim 93.9FM (Galicia, Spain). At first, the idea was just to discover new sounds on the web, wandering around netlabels. But this galaxy was far too large to be condensed as only netlabels records: soon it became a small window to an endless universe. The last editions include special features on themes such as The Wired CD or Jamendo Pro. And since variety is one of the key-words of the show, you can almost play "the odd-one out" with this. Take a listen and have fun!

Sven Swift’s Creative Commons Music Netlabel Moments 2009

mo. — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:04:04 +0000

In 2009, I shifted my attention a bit towards the establishment of my Hip Hop label Error Broadcast. We had three wonderful artist releases (don’t miss AEED, the ABC beat tape and Shlohmo) and have been working a lot in the background – 2010 will see our first vinyl releases which we are going to sell digitally as well. Put down AEED, B-Ju and Comfort Fit for the watchlist. Accordingly, I’ve been listening to a ridiculous amount of free beat music. Some of these I’d like to share with you. See my top five albums and songs please.

12rec. is doing slow but well nevertheless. We saw Bernier & Trottier and Nic Bommarito return with wonderful releases. Plus, as an early highlight, Klotzsch & Krey blessed us with their version of sophisticated environmental music. These days we are publishing the new Crepusculum album, and 2010 will see new music by Giraffe and Milhaven. All you need, no?

020200’s Creative Commons Music Netlabel Moments 2009

mo. — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 22:05:27 +0000

Time is flying, but 2009 was a good year in Creative Commons music - opposed to the music-lobbying from the global major labels. 2009 was also an interesting year from the political point of view - where I had lots of discussions, not only with music-activists, netculture-lovers, but also with people who formed the still new Pirate party here in Germany. For me CC-music was always a little bit more, than just putting plain mp3s into the internet. And maybe there are new opportunities coming up. The best is yet to come - the web is still a young fellow.

My activities 2009 did not only include talking, thinking and writing, but also manifested in real-life activities. I did co-organize the Cologne Commmons Festival and are running the site Netaudio-NRW - a site for Creative Commons Events in the area of North Rhine-Westfalia (NRW) area. I still wait for other people, doing a similar project in other parts of federal states of Germany - or also in other countries. Let's build a network!

Because of Netaudio-NRW I attended many events with Creative Commons music playing, and I can only suggest everyone to do so, too. The vibes and the quality are usually at a very high level. Here are (in addition to the other Top-5 charts) my Top-6 events of 2009:

Psycoded at Siegen (can't tell, but there was some certain magic)
Das Blaue Monster, Aachen at the Journey (where I finally joined the FeD e.V.)
goto80 at Cologne Commons (I am still speechless, especially about the screaming end of the show.. ;) )
Modularfield at Kolbhallen, Köln 5. We-Ark Netlabelnight at Kunstetage, Köln
Resisity / Fed e.V. Kickoff Party at Aachen
Netlabelnights Düsseldorf (as a whole, keep up the things!!)

…unfortunately I still missed so many events, that would be worth it!!

Catching The Waves’ Creative Commons Music Netlabel Moments 2009

mo. — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:03:05 +0000

Creative Commons Music Lover | Catching The Waves was born in a cross-fire hurricane. It reviews free albums from the Creative Commons/netlabel community and the occasional album from the big, bad world of commercial music. CTW is not a comprehensive review of netlabel releases; it is merely a reflection of one individual's taste in music, spanning from glitch to classical, rock to IDM, and even Country to Western - if it lets its guard down. It keeps burbling along so as to thank CC artists for their efforts and to publicise the Creative Commons movement. CTW has made an appointment with its psychiatrist to discuss its recently developed habit of talking about itself in the third person."

Netaudio.es’s Creative Commons Music Netlabel Moments 2009

mo. — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:05:16 +0000

Personal Words from David Domingo | "From my point of view, 2009 has been a year of convergence of the music industry and the underground free music scene because the differences between a netlabel releasing free music and a "major" distributing his hits on Spotify are everyday smaller. This means something positive: we have more and more nice free music to listen and to review!

Personally, this year I've had the chance to meet a lot of people from the netaudio scene on the Netaudio Festival in Berlin and during the last months, we're working on a redesign of the netaudio.es platform and objectives, just as helping the launch of phlow.es.

I've selected a collection of peacefully songs and netlabels from electronic pop to idm, passing by some beats and good atmospheres. I hope you enjoyed them!"

David Domingo/netaudio.es

David Domingo has been an engineer, musician, dj, producer, visual artist, activist and event organizer in the last years, always mixing art and music with technology - his two passions. A long career in the demoscene world took him to the netaudio scene and now he's dedicated to the promotion of the local scene with activities and collaborations. David Doming is a Co-director of netaudio.es platform.

Masayuki’s Creative Commons Music Netlabel Moments 2009

mo. — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 22:08:48 +0000

Netaudio Japan Tunes | Masayuki is the man behind the japanese music weblog Music Forest. Masayuki lives in Kanagawa, Japan near Tokyo. Next to his job working as an engineer everyday he listens and buys music. With his weblog he introduces wonderful music aiming at Japan. Like the years before, we asked Masayuki to represent Japan. But we still don't know if there is a netaudio movement over there... Nevertheless the music is charming, and quite japanese, when I may say so. J-Pop, olé!

Instead of using a picture of himself, we used the first photo he sent us. According to his photo he wrote:

"This picture is my best photograph at Japan in 2009.
Beautiful scenery looks like Beautiful music.

Of course, we can repeatedly listen to MP3 Music.
However, it is once at the moment of a wonderful meeting.

I can feel wonderful music from this photograph.
I can feel wonderful scenery from these music."
