"on March 12, 2020, as the world was increasingly forced into isolation, we began planning the online AMPLIFY 2020: quarantine festival. on March 20, 2020, we began posting newly recorded pieces from sound
artists around the world and we plan to continue to do so until the
world situation has taken a decided turn for the better, no matter how
long that may take." -Jon Abbey (Erstwhile Records), curator
"Hello fiends. For
the duration of the pandemic, everything on Karl Schmidt Verlag's
Bandcamp site is on a name your price basis. Can't afford to pay? No
sweat. No email hoops to leap through. There are hundreds of albums up
there, and as of now I've 9,700-odd free
downloads. Use them up. I've got a mountain of prices to adjust, so if
there's anything specific you need unlocked, lemme know. The first 15 or
so have been changed, so I'd appreciate if you'd start there. Lots of
killer albs, box sets and compilations on those first four rows. FOUR
NEW (name your price) RELEASES TOMORROW!'' - Tom Smith
A selection of modern classical pieces performed at
the French Music Research Institute during the 80's.
