I love yall.
Everyone last one of ya.
All you artists.
I fancy
myself one but there are artists that agree that I am not an
artist.
I feel like art is on a spectrum that extends
forever towards two infinities.
Since the lens is that
wide, I have to be very pragmatic in my coding relative to the scope
of the command to; “make everything available on demand.”
Every
thing is available.
Every thing is at stake at all times.
Create for
the sake of creation.
It will provide for you.
I
promise that what I am doing is because I want to see you – the
artist – achieve the notoriety you deserve. A big part of that
process for myself as a curator is making media available for people
to enjoy.
Everyone has a dream and the barriers of entry
to music are lower than they ever have been. The ability to broadcast
is in everyone’s pocket.
I urge you not to entrust the
monopoly of power and influence resultant of bots cornering a market
of “people who do not use the internet well” to dictate your
attitude as to how music should be distributed.
Everything
is still fuzzy right now. We are still in beta. The possibilities are
endless! But the immediate consequences and limitations are real…
We
have a humble upbringing and a hand-me-down vessel at our
disposal.
There are other people in this world nostalgic
for mp3s because of their versatility on media players but have
decided just to give into the streaming paradigm as they are not yet
savvy to alternative technologies or the abilities to configure
them.
When you listen to ads, you are furthering the
agenda of the hegemony. You
are helping distribution platforms and record labels earn money –
not so much artists.
Conglomerates
of everything are soaking up everything and you will soon have to eat
the bugs and listen to the internet sensation.
Dont
let anyone tell you what you should listen to except yourself or your
loved ones. You should have control over what happens to your brain
and what sort of culture you want to build.
Nobody’s
work should be devalued because it is not popular on civilian clear
net.
Your listening behavior should not be the concern of
the 899 botnets that float around curious as to what your listening
to when and why.
The
technology exists for traffic to be monetized without ads, tracking,
censorship or trends being made variables as to whether or not
someone listens to a song.
Love
Machine silently and anonymously pays out dividends to every
prospective copyright holder it consumes in that artist’s local
currency. Its all relative to the amount of requests for media. Just
check your accounts.
Playback
is instantaneous as the tracks are stored directly on to the
hard-drive of the user. All media is curated with attached metadata
and album art.
No trends. Just data made available for the
listening pleasure of humans.
Dancing is important.
Thank
you for doing what you do!
Please keep doing it!
I’m
just building one big Love Machine.
