WHAT
IS CONTEXT FREE MEDIA? 1. What We'd Like You To Believe Context Free Media as the name suggests disregards the context(s) within which it exists. A California-based record label, Context is a platform for music which presents the listener more musical questions than answers. While Context has strong roots in dance music, most notably techno, it explores uncomfortable areas where this definition makes no sense. With disregard to the name itself, Context is more interested in sonic expressionism and the structures that it might lead to rather than conceptualism superimposed on sound. 2. The Truth Of Things Why art? Why music? Cultural masturbation no longer holds any useful social signifigance. It is a commodity, with value arising only from the surrounding commerce. To further realize this cultural irrelevance, Context Free Media seeks to increase the amount of useless musical information our world contains. 3. The TV Commercial California is all about bikinis, positive vibes, hollywood, and dot-commerce, no? Well, yes. So where does a record label which treads the rocky water between dance music and non-dance music fit in? It doesn't. -- |
