[...] Disquiet » Keith Fullerton Whitman Live at Root Strata’s On Land Festival (AIFF) – “Back in September, the first On Land festival brought a wide range of quiet-minded electronicists and other music-makers to San Francisco. I caught the first of the three concerts, which were conceived by the Root Strata record label, but unfortunately for me not the one featuring a solo performance by Boston-based musician Keith Fullerton Whitman. Of course, missed concert opportunities aren’t what they once were. Chances are, someone recorded what you didn’t witness — sometimes even the musicians themselves. And fortunately in this case, Whitman has just uploaded a high-quality recording of the nearly 20-minute set to his soundcloud.com/kfw space:” 0 people like this post. Like [...]

Too bad KFW switched off downloading. I’ll stream later in the broadband comfort of home. Love the Soundcloud, esp additionals like Tracks On A Map: http://www.tracksonamap.com

Yeah, I was excited to see this pop up on SoundCloud. It looks like the download option was turned off subsequent to the material initially being posted, which is unfortunate.

SoundCloud’s time-based comment system is excellent. I imagine a new realm of microblogging, in which we comment not on songs but on slivers of songs. (Man, the first six seconds of the sixth minute of the third track on the most recent release on that great — new, naturally — Angolan netlabel is the best thing I’ve heard since breakfast.) Seriously, though, it is a promising new way for people to annotate/praise/critique music. I wonder if those time-based tags will ever be able to serve as trigger points or cues in mixes or playlists.

Great find. However, I can’t get the download to work. On your site, the download button is grayed out. If I go directly to SoundCloud, I only see a comment button. Yet, the stats for the track indicate it has been downloaded.

I really like the idea of the player’s time-based commenting, by the way.
