“Access Frame: Autonomy”

The series of compilations titled Access Frame aim to present a wide spectrum of local alternative music (with emphasis on electronic and experimental music) that has found its safe haven on the internet. The never before encountered entwinement of technology, society, making music and ownership rights has been causing a serious conflict between free culture and the outdated and exploitative concepts of copyright. Adhering to the spirit of free access, online labels are the first in the struggle for equal access and a more fair copyright (facilitated by the introduction of the Creative Commons license).

In this spirit we are supporting the annual celebration of netlabel culture on the Netlabel Day every July 14th. netlabelday.org

Kovač FM is a producer, visual artist, and radio creator. Her production is mostly (but not always) the result of transforming and synthesizing poetry or various samples into new mutants and spells.
