[iPOD] Video Label?

So how long do you think it will take to have an iPOD
music / art video label? I think this could be interesting
and has some great potential to bring this 'IDM'
scene to a more multisensory engagement.

I'm seriously considering starting this.

What does this mean, exactly? A label that releases no
physical media, only downloads?

for the most part, yes.

apple certainly seem to be moving to be in a position to be
a music label, but obviously this isn't what you mean.

how does this differ from net labels?

apple will most certainly extend the... shit, what its
called, where 'radio' shows are fed via rss feeds, to
video.

(i'm curious, because i'm working on an idea simular to what
you describe, but it involves a bit more).

Maybe you can talk to phobs about that. I'm sure he's
thinking of something like that already.

do you mean PodCasts? I guess it would be a net label, yes,
but I see one way to address free downloads, would be the
sheer size and quality of the video itself. I mean, a
podcast is basically an mp3, but the consensus still
delineates with that. Can not an mp4/mpg that deals with
Net Art / Documentary / Expanded Cinema warrant another
signifier?

what the fuck is a podcast?

Sorry, I thought that was clear. An individual who has an
mp3 whose availability is made aware through RSS, has a
podcast. Sooooo... I was thinking, a video artist, vj,
netartist, whatever, who has an mp4/mpg made available c/o
RSS or ppDL, has a.............? What? I dont have a name
for that yet. I think starting a label around pairing the
best in electronic music and experimental video would be a
good start.

A ScreenCaster? PodPremiere? VIPod?

Is it just me or is that all incoherent?

The term podcasting fuses the words iPod + Broadcast.

So, you can have an audio podcast, and now a video podcast.

No other terms seems to be requiresd.

Current - mp3 with RSS = podcast
Future - music video with RSS or pay-per-download = ?

gl0tch's idea = start a label that curates the latter.

well, its not really a broadcast. They're not live.
They're prerecorded mp3s.

a broadcast does not mean live, it is merely something that
is cast broadly.

Like an mp3, right? So why call it a podcast? See there is
no difference essentially, accept that one makes its
availability more widely known with RSS feeds. So, why not
exploit this new founded idea and apply it to genre specific
videos that can either be made available freely or through a
payper download service not unlike Bleep.

Case in point, rewind 3 years ago:

Imagine you had a video iPod and Warp started a Music Video
sublabel. In this pretend sublabel, their flagship release
was Gantz Graf by some collaboration called Autechre /
Rutteford. Now imagine it was only released for the Video
iPOD. Catch my drift now?

Do you have to have an iPod to do a Podcast?

what would be the problem with that? the label pays (or
rather, the artist unwittingly pays) for a promotional
video
and then sells it by the download? sounds a lot
smarter than paying MTV to play it - this way people pay you
to see your advertisement.

well yes... and it also challenges the One Way direction of
sound and image. Typically the music comes first, than an
unrelated director's interpretation of said song. What if
it was the other way around? Or better yet, what if the
visual artist is there during the writing process of the
song? More collaborative, perhaps less literal, etc.

no you dont need an iPod. Its more less that anyone can
come up with content (read: the audio version of a blog
basically) and "publish" it on schedule through RSS feeds.
From there, people can listen to these shows, stories, song
collections, or whatever, on their convenient shiny portable
mp3 player.

Ultimately there is nothing different from an mp3 to a
podcast. Its just a yuppie techno fetishist object with a
more trendy name.

apple are almost most definitely going to add video support
for podcasting in itunes in the very near future.

what you're suggesting, once this is available, is a 'video
net label' that releases gear via video podcasting? or
something different?

This is sorta what I am talking about

So where an indie film still needs some type of production
team, why not start a label that would curate or pair like
minded, but previously unacquainted, visual artists and
musicians in the same way? Starting a label would be easier
to get these non-mtv vids on iTunes, considering several
independent musicians have difficulty getting their stuff on
there in the first place.
