Manifesto of a Free Sound Culture

What does it mean to strive or to long for music, 'where sounds meet - just as people'?

Here are a few thoughts. Will be happy to hear what do you think, about your guess what the future of music may hold...

For any sounds who want to meet – just as people – a Sound Democracy should be ensured to protect their basic rights:

1. Freedom in choosing the Territory in which to live.

Free sounds should be able to live everywhere, be it just on the black keys of a concert piano, in the chromatic outbursts of a fantasy orchestra, between the multifold lines of a complex pop song track or even in a complete electronic world.

How they are spending their lives there, depends on how they can manage to cultivate their meetings, and with that is their second fundamental right, the

2. Freedom of Speech.

Free sounds won’t need to follow predefined Talking Points such as the beats of a 4/4 bar or necessarily fixed pitches. They are free to connect anytime, anywhere.

Free sounds do not have to repeat themselves according to language patterns that are known from established sound territories either. They are free to talk to one another as they please.

Free sounds should also have access to means of communication – like carrier channels – to be able to exercise their right of free sound speech as efficiently as possible. This will prevent them from isolation or from mass gatherings where one sound barely can hear the other.
