  • Chiptuning Intellectual Property: Digital Culture Between Creative Commons and Moral Economy
    Chiptuning Intellectual Property: Digital Culture Between Creative Commons and Moral Economy Martin J. Zeilinger York University, Canada [email protected] Abstract This essay considers how chipmusic, a fairly recent form of alternative electronic music, deals with the impact of contemporary intellectual property regimes on creative practices. I survey chipmusicians’ reusing of technology and content invoking the era of 8-bit video games, and highlight points of contention between critical perspectives embodied in this art form and intellectual property policy. Exploring current chipmusic dissemination strategies, I contrast the art form’s links to appropriation-based creative techniques and the ‘demoscene’ amateur hacking culture of the 1980s with the chiptune community’s currently prevailing reliance on Creative Commons licenses for regulating access. Questioning whether consideration of this alternative licensing scheme can adequately describe shared cultural norms and values that motivate chiptune practices, I conclude by offering the concept of a moral economy of appropriation-based creative techniques as a new framework for understanding digital creative practices that resist conventional intellectual property policy both in form and in content. Keywords: Chipmusic, Creative Commons, Moral Economy, Intellectual Property, Demoscene Introduction The chipmusic community, like many other born-digital creative communities, has a rich tradition of embracing and encouraged open access, collaboration, and sharing. It does not like to operate according to the logic of informational capital and the restrictive enclosure movements this logic engenders. The creation of chipmusic, a form of electronic music based on the repurposing of outdated sound chip technology found in video gaming devices and old home computers, centrally involves the reworking of proprietary cultural materials.

  • The Dark Side User Manual
    USER MANUAL 1.0.2 EASTWEST | THE DARK SIDE IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE! Our Revolutionary New Opus Software Engine Our brand new Opus software engine has been years in development, and replaces the Play engine. All EastWest Libraries (with the exception of the original Hollywood Orchestra, the original Hollywood Solo Instruments, and the MIDI Guitar Series) are supported in Opus, allowing them to take advantage of a faster, more powerful, more flexible, and better looking software engine. Opus comes with some incredible new features such as individual instrument down- loads, customized key-switches, new effects for the mixer page, scalable retina user interface upgrades for legacy products, a powerful new script language, and many more features that allow you to completely customize the sound of each instrument. It’s one of the most exciting developments in the history of our company and will be the launching pad for many exciting new products in the future. Using Opus and Play Together Opus and Play are two separate software products, anything you have saved in your projects will still load up inside the saved Play version of the plugins. You can update your current/existing projects to Opus if you so choose, or leave them saved within Play. After purchasing or upgrading to Opus you do not need to use Play, but it may be more convenient to make small adjustments to an older composition in your DAW loading the instruments saved in Play instead of replacing them with Opus. For any new composi- tion, just use Opus. A Note About User Manuals All EastWest Libraries have their own user manuals (like this one) that refer to instru- ments and controls that are specific to their respective libraries, as well as referencing the Play User Manual for controls that are common to all EastWest Libraries.

  • TREE of CLUES: a Packet for Popheads
    TREE OF CLUES: a packet for popheads Written by Kevin Kodama 1. In one song by this artist, a background clicking noise slows down as she sings “I found another way / To caress my day”. One of this artist’s videos is a single shot of her as both a giant goddess and tiny dancers that slowly zooms out. A track by this artist that she described as “a medieval march through the destruction of a relationship” laments “I never thought that you would be the one to tie me down”. This artist asks “Why don’t I do it for you” in a video that showcases her pole-dancing skills, and she explained a part of her name as “a selection of letters that sounded... masculine and strong”. For ten points, name this artist who released “Cellophane” for her 2019 album MAGDALENE. ​ ​ ANSWER: FKA twigs (accept Taliah Debrett Barnett) ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. This song’s heavily ad-libbed bridge includes the James Brown-inspired lyric “Good God! I can’t help it!”. In the music video for this song, the artist crawls on the ground sporting white polka dotted lipstick. This song begins with a series of tongue clicking and a breathy “yeah” along with some funky guitars. The video for this song uses pink, purple, and blue lighting in a scene where the artist runs between a male flirt and Tessa Thompson. This song’s artist describes herself as “an emotional sexual bender”, which is a nod to her pansexuality. For ten points, name this top r/popheads track of 2018, a Janelle Monae song that was the lead single for the album Dirty Computer.

    H-France Review Volume 19 (2019) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 19 (May 2019), No. 65 Jacques Amblard and Emmanuel Aymès, Micromusique et ludismes régressifs depuis 2000. Aix-en- Provence: Presses Universitaires de Provence, 2017. 124 pages. Illustrations, cartes. 7 € (broché). ISBN: 9791032001233. Review by Edward Campbell, University of Aberdeen. Micromusique et ludismes régressifs depuis 2000 by Jacques Amblard and Emmanuel Aymès is a slim volume at 124 pages, but nevertheless a fascinating exploration of a contemporary musical phenomenon. Setting out from the concept of “le redevenir-enfant,” a phrase with more than a hint of the Deleuzian about it (though the philosopher is not mentioned in the text), the book examines a tendency towards infantilisation which the authors trace to the 1830s but which has become much more evident in more recent times with the sociological identification of the “adulescent” in the 1970s and 1980s, certain developments in the plastic arts from the late 1980s, in certain strains of popular music that arose with the availability of personal computers in the late 1980s and 1990s, and finally in aspects of Western art music [“musique savante”] from the new millennium. What Amblard and Aymès term micromusic is also known as chiptune or 8-bits, the post-punk music of geeks and hackers with whom game technologies such as Game Boy are transformed into sources and instruments for music-making. While this, for the authors, is ostensibly regressive and nothing less than the “acme” of infantilisation, it signals at the same time, as the back cover notes, the “subtile inversion” of the player-musician into an anti-consumer within processes of alternative globalisation.
