Read/Write Collaboration
** Anyone interested in a collaborative project? I’m open to a range of topics and production methods. Ideally, this collaboration would mimic the read/write ethos of the creative commons and the resulting work would be licensed under agreeable CC conditions. **
In January, I blogged about my interest in licensing work via the Creative Commons and ended up settling on a CC Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 license. I have since revised the terms and changed to a bit more open Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License.
The Commons are meant to expand distribution potential while maintaining a given level of control. This allows producers to publish work online while communicating to exactly what can and can’t done with the work. A large portion of my Flickr imagery is now under said license. For more info about the Creative Commons, I’d suggest examining their licensing conditions, case studies, and interviews.
Mount Eerie
I’ve discovered that I’m a big fan of time-based and location sensitive creative works. The idea of ouside restraints and the potential for psychological (and physical) isolation elevates the senses to extreme levels. The following is an excerpt from an article about musician Phil Elverum and this residency / production at the Portland White Stag building.
“Elverum, the Anacortes, Washington-based songwriter who records a kind of haunted folk music as Mount Eerie, is in Portland for the second day of his week-long residency at White Stag to write and record a piece of music about the building…”
“Even when I’m on tour, I’m always trying to recreate this feeling [of my home],” he says. In fact, in 2004, Elverum shed his previous moniker, the Microphones, for Mount Eerie (adding an extra “e” to both his last name, formerly Elvrum, and the mountain’s in the process). “I realized I was writing so much about a specific place that I finally said, ‘Fuck it—I’ll just embody it.’”
