In light of an article by Erik Möller entitled Creative Commons -NC Licenses Considered Harmful and the discussions surrounding it, we have decided to relicense all our music under the less restrictive Attribution-ShareAlike license. This means that our music may now be used commercially without our permission.

The ShareAlike condition should provide enough protection against commercial exploitation, since any added value (such as CD cover art for example) counts as a derivative work, and as such has to be released to the public under an identical license. The Attribution condition makes sure that we are attributed as specified in our license notice (i e the artists’ name and immaterialmusic.com should be clearly visible).

As always, if you would like to do something with our music but feel that the license is too restrictive or incompatible with your own license, just contact us and we can probably work something out.

Today we finally release Samaadhi’s first full length effort, Mindless. It’s been a long journey, more than four years, and we’re really proud of the result.

We’d like to thank everyone who made this project possible: Lage and Patrik for their excellent performances, Fred for coming over for tea and chats every now and then, Alex for lending us equipment, Mankan for his technical advice, and Jesus, Enrique, Martin and Magnus for providing their inspiration.

Samaadhi’s first EP ‘Oblivion’ is the first release on immaterial music ever! Expect a full album after the summer.
