Rrrrrose Azerty - Parisian Creative Commons Electronica - Lorenzo's Music Podcast
Channel: Lorenzo's Music
Date: 24/03/2024

On this episode of the Lorenzo's Music Podcast, I talk with Rrrrrose Azerty, an electronica musician based in France. 

In this episode, we explore the intersection where music meets liberation and the challenges of navigating the digital landscape as an independent artist.

Rrrrrose's journey is heavily involved in the Creative Commons community, where we examine the trials of protecting music that's meant to be shared and remixed freely. Discover how Rrrrrose's music has become a staple in video games, podcasts, and even radio shows, all while juggling multiple aliases to showcase the versatility of their creative spirit.

During the discussion, we unravel the evolution of netlabels, and reminisce about the days when Jamendo and the Free Music Archive first began.

Rrrrrose also delves into composing for diverse platforms, from "bumper car music" to crafting soundtracks for the avant-garde. They share insights into their unique process, from MIDI to the philosophy behind releasing under Creative Commons Zero.
