13.06.2008 - 10:24 + scrag!netlabelism
as some of you may know, bleak is actually an offspring of the laridae netlabel.
if you want to thank someone for bleaks existence, the initial spark was caused by a demo submission to laridae from Dague De Miséricorde (see bleak002), which didn`t really fit into the laridae portfolio.
so i thought: "why not establish my own netlabel?", and so it happened.
so, "big up", as people say these days, to laridae: the laridae netlabel home.

27.09.2007 - 20:25 + bleakreleases on bleak.at
a release on bleak.at is subject to the following criterias:
quality
our aim is to release high-quality music, not only from an artistic point of view, but also in terms of sound quality. so for most of our audio releases we will use the FLAC audio codec.
we will use ogg and/or mp3 only for "teasers", excerpts of the full release.
but even that depends on the releasing artist. if he/she/it decides to release as mp3 only, we will do it as well.
free art
releases on bleak.at are free for download, unless stated differently. "free" means you don`t have to pay for it. it does not mean you can do with it whatever you want. copyright is copyright, and the artist is the owner of all his work. you may download and copy, but you may not use it as if it`s yours. at the bottom of the bleak manifest you will find a link to the creative commons` license description.
control
an artist who releases on bleak has full control over his work. at any time bleak will pull back a release if the artist decides so. those releases will stay online, but it will not be possible to download any longer.
bleak
has no interest in making money with the art released on this platform. there may be an official bleak label in the future, but the bleak.at net-label, as you see it here, will always hold on to its own manifest and ideals.

the bleak manifest
BLEAK is a netlabel. we distribute art that does not fit in
elsewhere. this may be difficult music, atonal music, sounds, noises, spoken
word, improvisation, experimental.
music that is not intended to make you dance. but even that depends on HOW you would dance to it.
music that is not intended to make you dance. but even that depends on HOW you would dance to it.
BLEAK is also a platform for any other form of art that can be
presented on an internet site.
there will always be images, videos, paintings, drawings or poetry that reflect the ideas and imaginations we have.
there will always be images, videos, paintings, drawings or poetry that reflect the ideas and imaginations we have.
BLEAK is the home for artists who don't care too much about pleasing
the audience. this does not make us better or special. it just represents an
alternative to the pop culture, where music finds the audience. we hope that
the audience finds us, because they are looking for us.
BLEAK is not a counterpart to anything or something special. it is an
extension.
we hope you like what you see and hear... and feel. if something makes you feel uncomfortable, it may be intentional.

images, events, ideas, words.
