Pirate Bay logo

Just got word that the founders of the Pirate Bay (the ever popular bit torrent) were found guilty of breaking copyright law, and are sentenced to a year in Jail, and a fine of £31m. If you’re not familiar with the Pirate Bay, you’ve either been living under a rock for the last decade, or you have a life. Either way, this is big news, and I must admit, I’m surprised that they were actually found guilty of piracy, and sentenced at all. The major fact of the matter that contributes to my bewilderment is that the Pirate Bay founders reside in Sweden (and from what I understand, copyright law is very loose, to non-existent over there).

Emoti-Chair translates music into tactile experiences

For the first time ever on March 5th, 2009, a rock concert will be staged just for the deaf at Clifton’s Tavern in Toronto. The technology enabling such a feat is the Emoti-Chair, a device created by Ryerson University’s Centre of Learning Technology and the Science of Music, Auditory Research and Technology Lab. This chair basically translates sound frequencies into tactile experiences, such as vibration, motion, and even blasts of air. Whooo.

We’ve recently added two new albums to the Nueva Forma Shop, Being by Critical, and No School by Sleepyhead.

Critical - Being (digital & tangible release)

Critical’s music can be described as dreamy, indietronic pop backed by vocals, and his album Being can be purchased in digital and tangible (CD) form.

Sleepyhead - No School (digital release)

We also have the pleasure of distributing Sleepyhead’s digital hip-hop album No School, and while Sleepyhead may be part of the Dismal City crew, he’s still considered part of the Nueva Forma family.

Please give these albums a listen on the shop, and we hope you enjoy the music.

Thanks,
Nueva Forma

Relaunched as new platform for bands

Muxtape.com, a mixtape website that was taken down due to a little problem with the RIAA last August, is now back up and running. This time, it’s a little different and is striving to compete with bigwigs such as MySpace, Facebook and Virb to offer a new platform for artists to promote their music. Since Muxtape.com is currently in private beta, and the creator Justin Ouellette has only invited 12 of his favorite bands to join, there’s limited sights and sounds to explore. However, it’ll be a few more weeks until sign up is open to the public and we’ll have a better idea of what Muxtape has up its sleeve. Mr. Ouellette has announced several features that will be rolled out.

We’ve just implemented a new feature on the Nueva Forma Shop that gives you up to three remaining downloads on your purchased digital music. These three remaining downloads never expire, so if your hard drive crashes and you didn’t make a backup of your tunes, you’ve got three more lives. We enjoy extending these kinds of conveniences to you in appreciation of your ongoing support. That’s why we only offer the highest quality music encoded at 320 kbps, DRM-free.

In the near future, we’ll also be providing FLAC-encoded music, which means the audio has absolutely no loss in quality, just like a CD. We’re working hard to release more tangible albums soon, and will be concentrating more on vinyl and USB rather than CD. The custom CD packaging for the Nueva Forma Social Club Vol. I is in the works, and should be available for purchase in limited edition batches next month. Please sign up for our Nueva Forma newsletter to stay in the loop about our label and artists.

Many thanks,
Nueva Forma

Three's Company

SoundBulb is a concept dreamed up by three designers, being Hoang M Nguyen, Poom Puttorngul & Anh Nguyen. The idea of it seemed so marvelous and problematic that I thought it’d make a worth post after all.
