One thing, regarding Creative Commons, that have been on my mind for some time now is whether you should allow commercial use or not. I noticed Peter does not, but myself I decided to allow even commercial re-use of my work this time. I'm thinking that the exposure of the music would always be a good thing for me. As for the question about revenue: I have produced music for ad's before and know that it may be important for a client to have the music composed, produced and mixed to perfectly match his advertisement spot - so important that it's worth paying for. In such a case you bill the client for your work. On the other hand, if someone should find that my music should fit in with a commercial campaign just by simple ripping it off, I'm all comfortable with that. You have to decide if you do believe in peoples ability to think and make up their own mind and that's what I believe in. I seriously don't believe anyone would take me for an All Tupperware Freak if some of my "flutter sounds" should appear in an ad of theirs. > I'll do something like this myself, then perhaps have a few hardware > copies of the album to sell at gigs etc. Yes, that's a good idea! I have also done finshed CD masterings of all my Creative Commons released albums, so I can just push a button to burn a CD and push another button to print the cover on the CD's front side. > > For my taste, way too few flute sounds in these recordings (and if I > may say that, too many tenor sax sounds - Well, if one song out of twelve is too much you may not be a big sax fan! ;-) > I don't know whether this is an > "ethnic" thing, but your sax playing always sounds like Jan Garbarek). Yes, it might well be an ethnic thing. You're German, right? ;-)) (he,he - just kidding...) > My main critizism would be that at times, it sounds a little bit like > "showing off your new toy" You are perfectly right! But I regard that a good thing, as in Manele. Anyway, since I play and have fun with "my toys", how could I avoid "showing them off" if someone happens to listen? A great deal of what music is about is "to fly", and I also love to fly with others when listening to them. I know that especially the EWI, being such an easily played "super instrument", invites you to play more virtuoso styled, but I like that too. With all other instruments I have always avoided the virtuoso aspect, but this time I think it makes perfect sense within the musical context. Ask Bill Walker about shredding! ;-) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international)
