Podcast appearances and mentions of marc weidenbaum

Kat Walsh from Creative Commons joins us to talk about the history of Creative Commons as a 'hack on copyright.' Marc Weidenbaum speaks on the history of the Disquiet Junto, a long-running online distributed community creating new music in response to a weekly online composition challenge. Episode notes, credits and transcript In this season of the podcast we're working in collaboration with the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy at NYU Law. In addition to our usual crop of artists and programmers we're adding in legal scholars to help us unpack some of the thorny issues for those working in art and code as they unleash their work into the world. In this episode we dive into the world of Creative Commons, which is now over 20 years old. It is both an organization as well as a collection of copyright licenses used by artists, musicians, writers, directors and creators worldwide to communicate to the world how they want their work shared and potentially to be used as a source to build upon. We also speak to Marc Weidenbaum, founder and steward of the Disquiet Junto, an online “community of practice.” Each week Marc sends out an email newsletter with a creative prompt, consisting of a title, and instructions. These instructions may read like a Fluxus event score, a recipe in sound, a concept or technical description. Those who choose to participate create a single piece of music, then post it online, to be shared, listened to and potentially discussed by the online community. Marc has been leading Disquiet Junto since 2012, and from the beginning has encouraged participants to share their work with Creative Commons licenses. In fact the creative re-use of Creative Commons licensed sound and music has often been an integral part of Disquiet Junto creative prompts. Guests Kat Walsh is the General Counsel at Creative Commons. She has a nearly 20-year history in the free and open culture movements, including many years on the boards of the Wikimedia Foundation and the Free Software Foundation, and has previously worked in library policy, technology startups, and online community management. As General Counsel, she oversees the legal support for all aspects of CC's activities, provides strategic input, leads the stewardship of CC's legal tools, and advises the organization on new programmatic initiatives. image description: a black and white image of Marc looking to the right.

Marc Weidenbaum founded the website Disquiet.com in 1996 at the intersection of sound, art, and technology, and since 2012 has moderated the Disquiet Junto, an active online community of weekly music/sonic projects that explore constraints as a springboard for creativity and productivity.

We're crash-landing back into regular podcasting with the Max original animated series Scavengers Reign. Created by Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, the seeds of Scavengers Reign were planted in an Adult Swim short before blossoming into a brilliant sci-fi series teeming with surrealist detours and bits of body horror. Paul and Arlo rave about the show's Cronenberg-meets-Miyazaki vibe, laud the series' refusal to provide easy answers, and hope against hope that this beautiful, otherworldly thing will continue to thrive in a second season. Plus, Arlo is the worst.   NEXT: more Western adult animation with heavy influence from the East, as the boys confront Netflix's Blue Eye Samurai.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:45  -  Intro / Arlo is the worst! 00:27:55  -  Scavengers Reign 01:53:45  -  Outro / Next     LINKS Scavengers Reign's Writers on Creating a Beautifully Hostile Sci-Fi Show by Justin Carter, Gizmodo One With Nature, Stranded in Outer Space by Kambole Campbell, Variety The Sonic Ecosystem of Scavengers Reign by Marc Weidenbaum, Disquiet Max's Scavengers Reign captures the beauty and terror of a truly alien world by Andrew Webster, The Verge The sci-fi adventure Scavengers Reign is an anomalous alien wonder by Toussaint Egan, Polygon Scavengers Reign Might Be the Most Underrated Show of the Year by Zach Kram, The Ringer     MUSIC “Interstellar Outer Space” by Anderson East, Maybe We Never Die (2021) “Slime Creatures from Outer Space” by “Weird Al” Yankovic, Dare to Be Stupid (1985)     GOBBLEDYCARES National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/  Abortion Funds in Every State: https://bit.ly/AbortionFundsTwitter Support AAPI communities and those affected by anti-Asian violence: https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/stop-aapi-hate Support the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund: https://aapifund.org/ Support Black Lives Matter and find anti-racism resources: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ The Trevor Project provides information and support to LGBTQ youth: thetrevorproject.org Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/  National Center for Transgender Equality: transequality.org Advocate for writers who might be owed money due to discontinuance of royalties: https://www.writersmustbepaid.org/  Help teachers and classrooms in need: https://www.donorschoose.org/ Do your part to remove the burden of medical debt for individuals, families, and veterans: https://ripmedicaldebt.org/ Register to vote: https://vote.gov/

Support YACHT on Bandcamp: https://yacht.bandcamp.com/track/avril-14th-single YACHT Quarantine Cover Series No. 4 This is the most beautiful Aphex Twin song, "Avril 14th," from the album Drukqs (2001), composed originally for a high-tech Yamaha player piano called the Disklavier. It's been raining nonstop in Los Angeles and we've been spiraling inwards into all our favorite music; we read Marc Weidenbaum's 33 1/3 book about "Selected Ambient Works" recently and learned that Richard D. James does a lot of his best work in between naps. This is a song for the in-between period of sleep and waking.

Disquiet Junto ist eine Internet-Community mit Mitgliedern aus der ganzen Welt, die sich jede Woche einer Kompositions-Challenge stellen. So entstand auch die Klangkunst auf der Schützenmatte für das diesjährige Musikfestival. Zita Bauer sprach mit dem Gründer Marc Weidenbaum darüber, wie genau Disquiet Junto funktioniert.

There are voices in our lives that are always welcome. One of those, for me, is Marc Weidenbaum. Marc has a long history of writing about things that I (and, I'm guessing, we) care about, and has been one of those people that consistently opens doors of musical understanding for me. As the editor and chief bottle-washer of https://disquiet.com/, he uses his words to explore music and sound in a way that I find inspiring. As the 'stimulant' behind the Disquiet Junto, he is also prompting musicians to produce work based on an idea - using suggestions that aren't always specific, but can often lead artists to do things that are a little out of the ordinary. In our chat, we talk about everything from Marc's background working at Pulse, to his own musical practice, and also a lot about the inspiration and details behind the Junto. We also get to hear about the breadth of work that Marc pursues, and how he pulls it all together. Super inspiring, and a call-to-action to boot! Enjoy!

Marc Weidenbaum is an author, music critic and teacher among many other things. Today we discuss his 33 1/3 book about Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol II, the Disquiet Junto group and of courese, modular. Find all things Marc at www.disquiet.com

I love making ambient music, because it feels like the equivalent of finger painting – you can smear things around by stretching out long tones and soaking them in reverb. No sound seems out of place if you bring it in gradually and keep it there for a while. In this episode, I talk about how to create tension in ambient music by holding notes longer than you think you should. This production lesson originally aired in Composer Quest episode 54 with Marc Weidenbaum. For more music production lessons and composer interviews, visit composerquest.com.

Every week, disquiet.com music journalist Marc Weidenbaum feeds his community of hungry sound artists a creative new challenge. In this project, called Disquiet Junto, Marc challenges composers to produce tracks based on an ice cube, or an Instagram photo, or the sound of space plasma hitting the Voyager I. Marc joins me for this episode of Composer Quest to share some of the coolest and most influential sound art pieces. Marc also explains why he believes music as we know it will be totally absent from films in a matter of decades.
