vs001thoughtsaboutmusic versus.com.pt audio opensource_audio http://versus.com.pt, is a portuguese forum-based virtual musical community, now with over 5 years of existence, whose main subject is music in general and electronic music in particular. There we can find melomaniacs, DJ´s, producers or just plain passers-by with an ear up for the music world. Like in every other community, members exchange ideas about other matters, like football, politics or even, "you know, stuff...", but the most musically inclined also share their own DJ sets and productions. And wouldn´t you know it, there´s some talent here! In fact, with the help of the latest technological developments, specially in production tools, we´ve quality to match the quantity! It was only obvious then, that a project like this came up, with the goal of compiling tracks made exclusively by producers who are Versus members. Making full advantage of the Creative Commons licensing regulations, adding the help of archive.org, and combining them with the creativity of the forum´s producers, the "Thoughts About Music" compilation was brought to life, gathering 12 tracks by 9 producers, some of them already making a name for themselves by having some of their work released by labels, others still looking for their place in the sun, but all of them displaying enormous talent and potential. So what´s in the package? Mostly dancefloor-oriented but diverse-sounding material, making up a perfect showcase for the creativity, imagination and big-time worthiness that many times is hidden in improvised bedroom studios throughout Portugal, and which is now our pride and pleasure to bring out into the whole wild world. Enjoy, and who knows, this may be a piece of history in the making which is about to crash into your ears!! ______________________________________ http://versus.com.pt é uma comunidade virtual, ou fórum, com mais de 5 anos de existência e cujo objecto principal é a música em geral e a electrónica em particular. Por lá abundam melómanos, DJ’s, produtores e curiosos em relação ao fenómeno musical. Como em qualquer outra comunidade trocam-se ideias sobre os mais diversos assuntos desde a música ao futebol passando pela política. Mas lá mostram-se, também, os últimos dj sets ou as últimas malhas produzidas. A verdade é que o talento abunda. E com os avanços tecnológicos e a cada vez maior facilidade no acesso aos meios de produção, nos últimos tempos, à qualidade juntou-se a quantidade. Assim surgiu, com a maior das naturalidades, este projecto de se fazer uma colectânea com temas de produtores que por lá costumam partilhar o seu trabalho. Aproveitando as licenças da Creative Commons, fazendo uso do archive.org e juntando a criatividade de todos quantos quiseram fazer parte desta iniciativa, nasceu a colectânea “Thoughts About Music” que reúne 12 temas de 9 produtores, alguns mais conhecidos e com trabalhos já editados, outros ainda à procura do seu lugar ao sol, mas todos eles com enorme valor e potencial. Sonoridades diversas quase sempre mais viradas para o dancefloor e que traduzem na perfeição a criatividade, o valor e a imaginação que quase sempre andam escondidas em estúdios improvisados em pequenos quartos espalhados por esse Portugal e que agora pretendemos dar a conhecer ao mundo. ______________________________________ Producers url's: Nightfusion - http://www.myspace.com/nightfusion Peter Pan - http://www.myspace.com/peterpanminimal Guelmy - http://www.myspace.com/guelmymusic Zentex - http://www.myspace.com/zentex1 TAF - http://www.myspace.com/tafmusic jay lux - http://www.myspace.com/jayluxmusic 2tan - http://www.myspace.com/dj2tan BIOS - http://www.myspace.com/bm8105 Milhares - http://www.myspace.com/djmiguelpalhares 2008-08-27 2008 Versus Board, Forum Versus, Electronic, Nightfusion, Peter Pan, Guelmy, Zentex, jay lux, 2 Tan, BIOS, Milhares http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/ 2008-08-27 19:40:19 joaomnunes@sapo.pt joaomnunes@sapo.pt Versus Netlabel Versus Netlabel Versus Netlabel Versus Netlabel Versus Netlabel Versus Netlabel Versus Netlabel Versus Netlabel Versus Netlabel Versus Netlabel Versus Netlabel 2008-08-27 21:03:37 2008-08-27 21:06:40 2008-08-27 21:12:10 2008-08-29 16:30:51 2008-08-29 16:33:09 2008-08-29 16:38:05 2008-08-29 16:40:55 2008-08-29 16:42:13 2008-08-29 16:51:46 2008-08-29 19:17:30 2008-08-29 19:29:24 audio http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/ Audio Versus Board, Forum Versus, Electronic, Nightfusion, Peter Pan, Guelmy, Zentex, jay lux, 2 Tan, BIOS, Milhares versus.com.pt 2008-08-29 22:15:12 Versus Netlabel
