Idyllic Music #58 - Folkartronica




Idyllic Music show

Summary: This week we'll explore the 'Folkartronica' made possible by the Creative Commons license. Dozens of websites have cropped up offering sound clips of various elements of established songs. These clips are then mixed, blended or mashed into something new. This new license allows artists to use the work of others under specific, usually, non-commercial guidelines. It has a kind of 'Folk Art' appeal that is, at turns, democratic and subversive. We'll hear from 5 bands that may or may not employ this new movement in music. They are 6-lyss, Spinning Merkaba, Evolve, Portal and P-Vibes. I'm Jim Nye
