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.

In a very unorthodox way

  In a very unorthodox way # (For Max Sometimes) In a very unorthodox way, I’m an Irish Catholic. Of course, in terms of Belfast politics that MEANS something. & while that maybe true – in Australia, for different reasons, as Fr Bob Maguire put it – when Mary first saw Jesus walking out of the tomb on day 3 of his death, she exclaimed “JESUS!!!” – the first time his name was used as a swear word. In that way of an irreverent joke, REVERENTIAL & ORTHODOX are not my way to the Sacred/Love*. For me – I’m not really into Theology – as Max Sometimes quoting me, quoting my mate Richard, quoting Bob Marley, quoting Rasta elders, said today “who feels it knows it.” & I believe that if I am to write my Mass/Symphony of Hope/Love, I must include at least one blasphemous hymn, else the vision depicted be simplistic, like George Handel’s Messiah. The Hope/Love represented or perhaps alluded to (if you prefer) must include genuine despair, dejection, transgression else it...

Love

  Love   Some people exude a loving energy Like Mary & you feel transformed From your woes & spleen & love is woken in you   They made no mistake when they named her Light floods you when you’re with her & though she struggles to find words Now she’s 91 years old She loves all the more Like the unknowable name of God   Like that Indian girl People would visit To receive wisdom & healing Just by her presence She locates the good in me & I feel so much better About being alive   She reminds me That I can play that role for others That I can let go of the grief, the hurt & let go of the rage   She reminds me of my mission To bring truth & light Through the darkness & show the path to follow For other lost people    & that the love she exudes Is as much a reflection of my love That I had forgotten I possessed     Published ...
