The Future Of Music July 4, 2008
jaaman (Kingston, OH USA)
We have witnessed the complete overvaluation of music in the 80's and 90's, when prepackaged pablum was all that was available through the retail outlets and FM radio. Then we witnessed the complete devaluation of music as a commodity with the advent of Napster and peer to peer file sharing.
Now, I think, we are seeing a correction in this market, where the artists are happy to see their audience pay for their work in accordance with the value the audience places on the product. The public has vastly greater choices in the music they can experience, and finds the artist so much more accessible than at any time in the past.
As a musician, I now see the reward in the process itself, not in any far sided chance of financial gain. I believe this is a true correction, and the righting of public perception to what music should have been all along. No longer can the industry build effective corrals in which to show the public that which they say is worthy of their money. Now it is just a matter of exposing this music through online music distributors, with the only requirement being that of the time it takes to listen. The financial reward is secondary, and this, I believe, corrects the focus of those who create the music. I believe this to be a cultural change. We are experiencing a total rethinking of music as product vs music as art.
Venues like Kompoz.com are an integral part of this revolution. The quality of music on this cd is consistent, there is not just one or two good songs.. this is an extended cd with nothing short of stellar workmanship from conception to packaging. I too contributed to one track, and I am very grateful to be a part of it. Not because I am part of a commercially released cd. I am grateful to be a part of this revolution.

First, let me disclose that I am one of the musicians that performed on this CD. I am also the producer.
The music on this CD is truly unique. It was created by 45 musicians, who have never met, brought together in the online world through Kompoz.com. Working from all over the map, from the comfort of their home studios, these independent artists composed (we like to say "kompozed") and recorded these songs under the open collaborative licensing of the Creative Commons, inviting anyone to contribute to each and every song.
For example, the song I contributed to is Track #11, titled "Down To The River". On that song the drummer recorded his part in Kansas, the bass player in Stockholm, Sweden, the keyboard player Ohio, the singer in Chicago, and the lead guitar player in Miami, Florida. Every song on this CD was created like that, with regular people from all over the world using the Internet to collaborate and create awesome new music!
This is the future of music.
Power of the Internet June 24, 2008
Cranie (MA USA)
This is the first album, to my knowledge, comprised of songs that were COMPLETELY written and recorded by musicians in different parts of the world. The fact that no two people sat together to record/compose (or Kompoz as it were) these songs is a true testament to the power of the internet and modern recording.
