29 January - 23 March 2005 New form in context of copyleft and copy rights. d_cultuRe is focused on audio production, distribution and discussion, seeking to explore the boundary between sound and music composition, in a cultural and political landscape.
Running hand in hand with the 'do it yourself' punk movement was the underground tape movement which became a vast international network of sound and music experimenters who wished to copy and distribute their products to all those interested. The firmament of the underground formed more established scenes and distribution channels for cassettes, records and CDs from the mid-80s through to the 90s and on until now. Styles and approaches expanded and resulted in such genres as, electro-acoustic, concrete, experimental, collage, ambient, industrial, soundscape, minimal etc... As we shift from electromagnetic tape to digital codec as a low cost method of underground and independent distribution and exchange what implications evolve regarding the form, practice and politics of sound?  
Online reference points including downloads, archives and links are available here in context of the forum, in order to help inform the discussion. Additional resources will be updated throughout January and March.
Mp3s and Archives available March 9 + 17 !
Mp3s will be available March 22 !
