Now this is really neat. I totally agree with the idea of the free music
ethos that Tom Cosm has. I came across this guy via Pitch Black's homepage, where they had an
Ableton Live tutorial lecture online which Mr. Cosm was on. So through further
link clicking I came to cosm.co.nz, where I
found not just the original Ableton tutorial, but loads more, as well as some
of his own stuff which is free 320 MP3's but also the Ableton Live project
files so you can remix them. Also check out some very useful production tips
& tricks & tutorials on his site.
I treat music as a form of communication that completely overpowers that of
any other kind of human interaction>
If the process of funding music and artists was swapped around from
listen > pay > enjoy > get hooked to listen
> enjoy > get hooked > pay, I think this would be a huge step
forward with a little amount of effort, and I this is what I am trying to
achieve. Yes of course I will gain some promotion from trying to instigate
something like this, but overall I think if everyone laid their cards down on
the table, all knowledge and music was open there would be huge gaps opening up
in the technological advancement of music, increasing the demand for
developers, thinkers and new interesting tools. >
My music has always been free, and it always will be! Fuck restricting it
just to people who can afford it!>
Sounds right to me! I'm intending to make an enuui album, and of course
would love it on a label, but having seeing how Tom Cosm does things, I gotta
say I'm gonna follow suit. Maybe I will get a sweet album deal, but until then
all music I create will be free, and them 3 quotes above is the reason why.
Anyway, here's a load of Tom Cosm's tunes to check and buy if you want to,
if not have them for free.

Moving on up!
