Tryad: Making Music The Open Source Way
,----[ Quote ]
| Free and Open Source software has been
| attributed to many things, such as
| applications, operating systems, books, and
| even beer. How would music be if it was
| developed by following the open source
| methodology? To find the answer to that, we
| turn to Tryad, which is a group effort
| currently preparing for their third album. I
| was lucky enough to speak to the groupâs lead
| vocalist, Vavrek, and ask him about Tryadâs
| music and what it means to be musically open.

Mainstream Press Waking Up To The News That Musicians Are Making More Money
,----[ Quote ]
| Hopefully, with more mainstream
| publications finally picking up on this,
| both the press and politicians will begin
| to recognize that the only real "crisis" in
| the music industry is for those who have
| stupidly relied on selling plastic discs
| for way too long. There are plenty of
| revenue opportunities for musicians, and
| because of that (in combination with better
| and cheaper tools for music creation), the
| actual music industry is thriving at levels
| never seen before.

Why popstars are going it alone
,----[ Quote ]
| Music industry lobby groups have long been among the most vocal advocates of
| copyright reform, urging governments worldwide to prioritise intellectual
| property protection.

|
| Last week, Radiohead released its latest CD without copy-controls on its
| website under a pay-as-you like system (Canada's Issa - formerly known as
| Jane Siberry - has successfully employed a similar approach for many years).
|
| The Radiohead announcement has unleashed a stunning series of follow-up
| moves - reports indicate that Nine Inch Nails, Oasis, Jamiroquai, the
| Charlatans, and Madonna have either left or are ready to leave their record
| labels in search of greater commercial success through live performances,
| merchandise sales, and other online innovation that may include free
| distribution of their music.
