Free Music and Rational Thoughts from Si Begg

The legend that is Si Bigg recently decided to give away his brand new EP '24 Bit Error Collection' completely free. Not only that, but the tracks come in pristine 24bit 44.1khz WAV format. Go Si.

In his own words:

'Major labels and the bodies that represent them, such as the BPI in the UK and the RIAA in the USA would have us believe that sharing music is destroying music and the musicians that create it. We contend that the truth is, this cartel of major record companies, distributors and publishers have been systematically fucking musicians and the people that love and buy music for about 50 years. Creating, amongst other things, huge profits for shareholders, a rigorous, brutally industrialised method of music production, Hannah Montana and an inherently average, uninspiring, mainstream music scene. This traditional industry model is so close to death that we dare not entertain it here. Instead we leave it up to you to help determine how far this E.P. travels.'

The writings on the wall. Big up Si Begg and anyone else who sees music is not a job or profit making device... people will always make music, it's part of being human.

Totally agree - albeit months later! ;)
