this music is not free…
…if you are a music industry professional. The fact that we allow listeners and users to share our music for free, does not mean in any way that we are waving our rights as authors, songwriters, etc… The only thing that we are skipping here, is the mechanical rights for our online releases. These songs are declared and protected through the official channels, so if you think this music is free for commercial exploitation, think again. You will have to talk to us, our management and our publisher before you can start pressing our stuff to anything solid.
We are not presenting a case that claims all music or artistic content should be free. This is a decision that we are taking for this band alone.
a school of QUIET music
Finally, we’ve gone back to our roots of d.i.y. productions and good old fun. The recordings you find here are produced by asoQ with limited budgets. But always supported by people, engineers and mixers that believe in our music for the right reasons. So most of them cut us quite some slack on the invoice while putting in the extra mile to make every new recording session a real treat. We don’t sound like your latest major release, but then again, we are not competing with them. We never were.
We are very stubborn when it comes to writing our music. Everyone in this band has specific ideas about the things we want to do and more importantly, about the things we don’t want to do. Some people can hear that in every new song. There is no set pattern, no textbook ‘a school of Quiet sound’, except for the absence of rules maybe. This is not intentional, it is just the way we do it.
Music from ‘a school of Quiet’ is just like any other music. Subjected to the judgement of untouchable things like ‘the audience’, ‘the market’, ‘the record label’, ‘the publisher’, ‘the manager’, ‘the booker’, etc… Some of these are good and even great, others were getting outdated. I think many bands are still waiting for the industry to ‘catch up’ with the online events of the past 10 years. We no longer see the point in waiting for others, our music will be available to you and we hope you will share it with others as much as possible because that is why we write it. Your help in sharing this music is very much appreciated.
