So heres the deal; I want to put together a community/collective. I have posted a few threads to this effect, but this is the first more or less official one. I want to build a collective for art and music. I want to have a bunch of sects within the collective that are dedicated to different styles, with each member of the collective belonging to two or more of these different sects (each sect has its own name; members are credited for each sect that they are collaberators in, and sects are credited for songs and output). Ideas that I want to have for different sects are Dub, ambience, glitch, hiphop, industrial. I want to design a website for this collective, where each collaberator is given a small page wherein they describe their views on music, influences, tools, etc. As well, each sect gets their own section on the website. As far as art is concerned, I would like to dedicate a small portion of the site to photography and design. Its hard to have an internet baised artist collective because its hard to send paintings around the world so that many people can work on it, and it totally ruins spontanious creativity, but anybody can email a picture that they have taken for somebody else to edit. I would like to have links to other like minded organizations and members of the group, and to companies that build softwares for music production and desgin and such. As well, I would like to set up a messageboard that allows people to ask questions and also get ratings on different tools (like software, hardware, etc). I planned on having this website online today, but I am kinda new at this whole website thing, and finaly was informed of what I needed to do to get everything set up, so it should be ready after my next set of days off. So what I would like is for everybody who is interested, please email me , and inform me of everything I would need. Remember to use your xltronic name in the header. |

So, for file trading, I was planning on keeping it soulseek baised. Pretty much, if you want to be a part of this, keep the soulseek room 'Computer Musicians' toggled for autojoin. This is also where members of the community could download your work for any other intercollaberation that might happen. As well, I want to stay away from making it an "IDM" project. I don't like the idea of fashion music. As much as autechre, BOC and afx are neat, the shelf life of their clones is only about 2 months. What I want to do after people have started working together, is to make the website into a weblabel of sorts, so that people can download albums and songs that have been made by the community, and after enough of an interest (and some capital) is built up, then publish albums and books by the members (where the costs are returned to the financial contributers first, and then the people who contributed work will get some money after). So yeah, thats about it... email me if you are interested, and then I will respond and give you more info. |

sounds like a good idea! |

I think mimicking the whole record label thing might not be as successful today (monetarily, since I see no other purpose in doing it given free sites to upload music as well as free messageboards already exist) as it was to the few who made it in the past. The environment is different and is always changing. |
||||||||

seems like a good idea. *support* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Well, I don't really see it as a mimicking thing. It the collective is publishing its own music, it acts as a label. Athough its not really meant to be a label anyway. Its more of a publishing company, since I want to publish both books and music. I really like the idea of audio and visuals that act in tandem, and I like the idea of doing that through a cd and book. I don't want it to become another weblabel. There are too many weblabels, and they all seem too unidirectional, and one track. I want to make something different. This is more like a 'band' than anything like that.... just one with members around the world. |

this sounds like a really good idea... i would think about contributing, but i don't have access to soulseek or anything. as a separate suggestion, why not have the members use a private ftp portion of the website to share their files? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder why you keep typing "baised" when you mean "based".. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, I am totally down with that... i don't have access to an ftp server, otherwise that is the direction I would want to go. If anybody has an ftp server that they would be willing to contribute, that would be great... qrter: I don't know... maybe I am trying to shake things up a bit :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what i meant was that some webhosting services (assuming you are paying for one) also give you an ftp service that you can easily customize however you like. at least mine does... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm. As far as I know, mine doesn't, but I will give them a call tomorrow, to investigate this. |
||||||||
|

this sounds a lot like |

It'll neverr worrk |

Kay. Well its not soulseek records. Thanks for the info. Its not really a label either... I just misused that word. Sorry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Let me reiterate. Not a weblabel, but collaberators work will be posted on the webpage. That is why I described it as similar to a 'weblabel of sorts'. Its a collective. Different projects, with a consistent group of people. There are already more than enough weblabels out there. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
All right... I am going to be emailing everyone with further information later on today. Anybody else who is interested, please email me with the foreposted link. If you are interested, but you don't want to use soulseek, we will find a way to work around it. Thnx ;) |
