Art Shall Be Free Recordings

"Woodcutter

Cut out my shadow

Free me from the torture

of seeing myself fruitless" 

                                                                                                 - Federico Garcia Lorca



What is Art Shall Be Free Recordings?

Art Shall Be Free Recordings is a not for profit collaborative working to raise awareness of the work of underrepresented artists - usually for reasons that they challenge the mediums they work in. They are artists who are solely about the art and a love of humanity told through their communities. What we do is help them get their music to a wider audience. However, everything we do is based on a principle of community versus the usual thing of throwing money & power behind the project. If you are in art to make money, then ASBF is not for you. We are about establishing genuine connections between people who wish to share authentic art and sound, not shifting commodities.

From Bands to Spoken Word to Conceptual Art to to Podcasts to Journalism…

Art Shall Be Free Recordings believes in full artistic control for its artists. Despite this it asks that its artists do not seek to unduly shock or repulse unless it is handled with sensitivity. It asks that its artists ennoble humanity and give voice to those parts of it which are too often neglected. It is a not for profit organisation. All funds generated go back into the artists development & promotion and where permissible to donate to worthy organizations which work towards the recognition of Universal Human Rights.

OUR ARTISTS OWN ALL RIGHTS TO THEIR WORK AND CAN LEAVE THE AGREEMENT WITH THE COLLECTIVE WHENEVER THEY CHOOSE. THE FOCUS OF THIS COLLECTIVE TO FOSTER COMMUNITY.

So far, it's artists include:

Australian acts Mel From Melbourne, Bait, Forest Radio, Earth To Malachi, & Fijian acts The Bula Brothers & Luke Cama.

Art Shall Be Free Recordings is works in the pursuit of friendship and the development of community. In sharing audiences and personal networks our collective network grows. This network has become an ugly word. It need not be. If you wish to challenge anything the collective seeks to achieve then reach out. Blessings to you all.

“I didn’t know!”

  “I didn’t know!”   Don’t get me wrong In a Two Party preferred system  I have no choice but to give preferences to Labor The Coalition are scum But Jacinta Allen, Victorian Premier Claimed in a Truth Telling Commission that she never knew about massacres Of Indigenous people in the state She’d never looked up The history of her country The history of the state she leads She’s Premier! She leads a department that ‘manages Indigenous affairs’ We are currently in the process of negotiating a Treaty What did she think happened to all the Aboriginal people?! They went up to live up the Magic Faraway Tree? “No one told me!” No one ever told me either I fuckin researched It was really easy Took 10 minutes There’s this new thing called the Internet & you search stuff up Like History A subject no longer taught in many schools past year 7 I deduced a lot from observing the place & how allergic we are of looking at ourselves ...

Though it made me a poet

Though it made me a poet   This is a superior microwave to the last if  everything has to be a competition I guess it does! In the Kafkaesque vortex Where one is trying merely to ask a question Instead one is sold something I’m monastic or have acute anxiety Anxiety is pretty cute Like a decapitated bleeding brain Covered in snails turned carnivore By the wrack & ruin of a child’s innocence The fist in the sister’s face The knife in the wall Did I imagine the latter, dream it or see it? Who threw it? Must have been the bowie Still life goes on So I went to school the next morning & got my mouth taped up For being a chatterbox Such is the life of a privileged 5 year old It made me a poet     Published & Copyright Malachi Doyle 2025.

‘The Garden of Love’

  ‘The Garden of Love’ (after William Blake)   Some young punk Tryin to be ‘hard’ Pussyole! with his mate Said “no flowers!” I was holding some wildflowers To put in my vase at the apartment I asked him “why not?” He said nothing That’s right keep walking bish! To bloodclot! I don’t walk around defensive So I’m not quick to attack I’d rather they think about it themselves ‘Without flowers there is no life’ He dreams Try that on for size ‘You say “no!” to flowers & you say “no!” to life’ Echoed on the wind 'You can’t eat money!' Unity & Devision He hears across the wires 'Not that way!... ... why have you forsaken us?' He feels the ancestors   & again I am reminded of Blake’s ‘The Garden of Love’*   Published & Copyright Malachi Doyle 2025.   * The Garden of Love By  William Blake I went to the Garden of Love, And saw what I never had seen: A Chapel was built in the midst, W...
