Bands, musicians, producers and DJs perform covers, versions, remixes or interpretations of the 1920s and 30s out-of-copyright folk, blues, jazz and music hall from the Open Music Archive as a series of live plugged and unplugged performances.
Ghost Trace Stellar features specially created sets of covers along with archive DJ sets and a discussion with Open Music Archive - Ben White & Eileen Simpson examining the implications of Free/Libre and Open Source models of creative production and distribution.
This event opens up a temporary channel for music, exchange and discussion that operates beyond individual proprietary and commercial interests. The performances from the event will be recorded and licensed under Creative Commons ShareAlike, generating a new resource - free for use and reuse.
