retinascan

retinascan has become a fun-based platform to organise a community of electronic music dropouts, who don't feel too comfortable selling their stuff through the big capitalist machinery but want to find people with the same likings to share their music with. In the end it is an anticapitalist idea, not to sell big, not to support mass production, but revitalising the idea of art also in music. the rhizomatic microlabel work is extremely vivid and enables almost everyone who is in the net to put out his own idea of not only music but any electronic entity, no matter if it's programs, pictures or text. the development of electronic music is beginning here, and the connex between the music and its organisation in the net is more than obvious. when one can say, that the techno boom of the late 80ies and the early 90ies was made in the clubs, it might be quite okay to state that the hypes and trends in electronic music are today made by the internet. the music is made with the computer, quickly encoded and extremely fast presentable in the net without ever changing the hardware you're sitting on. creation and distribution of the work becomes one single process. the next turn from here is that the net-working is adapting the older conservative structures of hardware distribution again to enlarge bandwidth and storage capability that isn't given in the web yet. that's what retinascan does.
