MP3J CDËV
MIXEDTAPES
Mp3j CDEV is a search drone, library consort hologram, a music-sifting robotic subroutine. Her scripted protocol compiles seasonal sound assembage for the edification of her immediate coterie of friends and family. Diligently sniffing, collecting, collating, assembling, compiling, and quietly sharing walkman music collections, as has been the thing to do since radio-and-cassette dubbing first set me free, c.1980-83. Mp3jCDEV makes mixtape collections available for anyone interested enough to find and listen. Because it is the nature of machines to do this, it is ridiculous not to participate with enthusiasim, all things considered. Embrace the harmonic chaos, technology leads social change, feel a new order emerging, you are protoculture's selection algorhithm. Just like grandma used to say. Hype and replicate the best music you find, by every means necessary ...
Musical mass-commodity culture has been proven very deliberately neurotoxic, and as such, everywhere its participants are engaged in a vampiric economics of mutually assured annihilation. Per demands of collective autoimmune response, we insist on participating differently. Elsewhere underground, lively and well-nourished, legitimately virulent subcultures recurrently reinvented the medium, and musical freedom persists; maximal-liberty, lowest-entropy, highly assertive and deeply resilient, a participatory network of undergrounds dance all night beneath the sleeping cities. We must persist, and we insist; we hunt gather share gift trade dance play spin laugh hype select copy paste seed and spread, widely voluntarily to from and inclusive of every any and all who express interest. Every musical thought and phrase and shape treasured should gleam holographic infinite reflections across Indra's entwined matrix. As sound ripples through one nervous systems and now another, music is made to collectively echo, become part of shared memory, sharing music expresses a deep investment the exponential net-positives of free culture, the necessity for and obligation to contribute to self-selected mututually assisted musical subcultures, to nourish the roots of the cultural commons. Most particularly now, in our times of needless authoritarian austerity and brazen atrocities from those who oppose the open culture, of infinite libraries, omindirectional sharing, multivalent revaluations of a free and neutral internet, now twenty years in. The solution has not changed, and oddly, neither has the argument.
Allow CDEV to mp3j for you, spun freely in exhaltatation and good conscience, because it is right and necessary to do so, kopimi zenamen. For all our sympathetic cymatic protocultures, fuel up ya' fiya. All my relations.

'Take an easy-to handle 20' ISO container frame. Outfit it with folding walls and the best in Canadian design. "The result is as smart as it is efficient, suitable for a family of four and a pet to live off the grid in comfort and contemporary style. It travels by train, truck, ship, airplane or helicopter, folded up and indistinguishable from any ordinary shipping container. Once it arrives, it unfolds rapidly to 480sf of self-contained, sophisticated living space with all the comforts of home." It is an exhibition piece rather than a real living space,-" Its main purpose is to raise awareness internationally of Canadian capabilities, not just for Canada’s sake, but for the sake of those who want to learn from us about how to live softly, smartly, and stylishly on this shared planet." -Treehugger via MOCO via ATC

Many thanks to the musicians for their generous and inspriational creativity, to BARK for their extraordinary craftsmanship and perseverence, and for everyone's friendly willingness to share and participate. All my relations.
How could artists function without musicians? Art needs music like animals need oxygen. Reproductive mimisis, mirror neuron novelty seeking virus meme contagion, the living underground, soil of music's self-propagation cycle, must not be neutered or restrained. If cash exchange predicates every human gift, then only the most plasticized deceptive exploitive excessive corporatist forms of culture will persist. Information wants to roam free, survive and persist, multiply and divide and assemble and hybridize, thrive and then disperse. Music has the right to children, permanently. Go forth and replicate yourself. It is the duty of all curiosity-based lifeforms to ensure the cultural-replicator internet remains wide open, neutral, collaborative, flowing, and free.
