C.Reider
Give us an overview of your work
He thanks us!
He writes a lot, but doesn’t verbalize a lot.
remixing is important to C.Reider!
genres are misused
C.Reider says that experimental music is for anyone that is willing to open their mind a bit.
Back to the “introduction”
C.Reider is a listener and all of his art comes from that.
WTF? why don’t people listen to other artists?
composer and netlabeler
not always interested in western rhythms.
Ukulele is not necessarily experimental!
What are the results of the experiment?
experimental for both the listeners and the artist.
Failure is a distinct possibility
C.Reider is comfortable with failure, but doesn’t release
Releasing in a limited edition.
What about music as an escape?
Here is in on last.fm: http://www.last.fm/user/vuzh
Is there a difference between music and sound art?
C.Reider does music! but sound art is a thing!
http://soundthroughbarriers.com/
sonic arts is an umbrella term!
Curated one sound art show
Tom talks about mixed medium arts. “What do you paint like?”
“Sound art is the future of music.”
“We’re in an interesting time in the evolution of music.”
What drew you to Creative Commons?

deriv.cc ← brand new, only two releases
a couple more are ready to go

What about DJs that get paid?

Not to the entire scene, but there is another netlabel out of a place 20 minutes away (Fort Collins, where Colorado St. is)

What are the live shows like?
no installations, but perhaps in the future
