A big thanks to Aiden Witrial for creating this machinima of one of my recent Mood Lounge performances. You might recognize the soundtrack as the start of Live Online #7. Props, Aiden!

Even with a boatload of samples and though they’re mixed differently every time, I run the risk of having these sets turn stale. To counter it, I’ve created new personal elements for this set (electric piano and bass), and I think there should be new material like this every week. I’ve also settled on a way to mark new material, so I know to concentrate on playing the new stuff.

This recording was made at Substance (Second Life) on May 3rd, 2009.

Alternatively, listen to Live Online #7 via play.fm

Remix - Making art and commerce thrive in the hybrid economy by Lawrence Lessig

I’m no Oprah, but here’s a book I can recommend whole-heartedly. And that without having even read it yet (downloading as we speak).

Admittedly, I’m a fan of Prof. Lessig’s ideas, as is a growing legion of people who have discovered the benefits of licensing their work under Creative Commons licenses.

The PDF version of the book is available as a free download here: Remix – Making art and commerce thrive in the hybrid economy

I had the privilege to meet Prof. Lessig at the iSummit held in Sapporo, Japan last year. On the spur of the moment, I presented an idea regarding CC+ licenses and a sample marketplace on ccmixter.org – it was generally considered a good idea by those in attendance, and though it’s not been implemented, I’m happy I threw the idea out there and maybe someone will act on it in the future.
