I just found out that ambient/drone/soundscape artist Paul Schutze is concentrating on releasing his new works directly through the internet, as mp3 files with pdf's for the printable covers. Navigating his site is a little weird, I found a few pages of black text on black background, and he has a rather odd method of clearing the downloads, you are emailed a link with a simple usage agreement for the files. But I found 3 CD's available for download at his site, and he promises more to come. I've been following his work for the last decade or so, and have always enjoyed it, and the free downloads make it a lot easier to keep abreast of his recordings (he usually releases stuff in tiny editions on obscure labels). He has some commentary on the economics of doing non-mainstream music that I found quite interesting, and kind of discouraging, as well. His site is: http://www.paulschutze.com -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Trenkel New and Improv Music http://www.newandimprov.com improv@peak.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------
