Spotlight on SoundCloud Follow-up

The meet-up last night at Cafe Libertalia was a good time. Thanks to Soundcloud for sending us some T-shirts and stickers, and to David Noel who recorded a video introduction for us to watch. I'm editing the podcast of our conversation with some tracks of SoundCloud artists that Raphael and Miquel suggested, and some tracks from the recent Freedom To Share ccMixter.org event. I'll post the link here when I'm done.

Check out David's video in the interim:

Art Rocks Radio Show

Last week I filled in at the last minute for ArtisTech CEO Emily Richards and got the opportunity to record a great on-air conversation with Cynthia Gaddes and Philly Joe Swendoza about the San Diego art scene. The consensus in the green room prior to the show was San Diego's scene is maturing, and collaboration is the key. So get out there and make art!

Listen to the show here.

Cheers,

August: Soundcloud in the Spotlight

I recently had a great skype chat with Soundcloud representative Nils Westerlund regarding Creative Commons licensed music, and how we might work together in this excited new world where music and technology are creating a new culture and sound. Between Soundcloud, ArtisTech Media and collaborative remix site ccMixter.org, there are many great avenues to take. The brainstorming session got the creative juices flowing! But where to start?

We decided that coordinating a meet-up would be the easiest and best step forward. So August 30th at 7pm The San Diego Future of Music invites all Soundcloud members to join in the discussion. How is Soundcloud changing the way we listen and distribute music online? How can we all work together in this new music world?

Start the conversation with a comment on this blog post. Are you a Soundcloud member? What are your experiences?

And Join us August 30th! It's free--Cafe Libertalia is a great coffee bar with treats--and some of San Diego's most influential will be in the room.

See you there,

Jason

Live at the Ruby Room July 28th

We're set to have a great night at the Ruby Room July 28th! This is the Second in a series of live events produced in conjunction with the meet-ups we have every month at Cafe Libertalia.

This month, I'm proud to announce that Jack Daniels, through their support of AWAKE Community and ArtisTech Media, made it possible for us to offer a ride home solution for anyone attending the event this Wednesday night.

Safe Ride Solutions is a San Diego based company that will provide drivers to take event attendees home in their own cars if they need a safe ride--no hassels. It's discreet and reliable. It's an important role for Safe Ride Solutions to play and I am grateful for this support.

Show starts at 8pm--so get there early--added to the bill are The Sun Doctors who will open the night. Then Inhale and Sandollar--with Todo Mundo to close! Red, yellow and Green are the colors of choice.

Thanks to the Ruby Room for hosting the event, Dave Rodger booking the talent, Cynthia Gaddes for organizing the catering, Scott Fetters for speaking at the meet-up, and of course thanks to all the musicians that are helping to make San Diego the future of music!

See you at the show!

Jason
