Klep2.0
Holy klep!
"Eric Kleptone," one (or possibly all) of the members of remix/mashup dieties The Kleptones, will be speaking on the subject of remixing, mashups, and copyright law at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco, which starts November 7. On the conference website, there's a detailed speaker's bio with some juicy tidbits about upcoming Kleptones projects and releases:
You can read the entire bio here. And wouldn't ya know it, the damn con's sold out. Anybody know where I can snag a pass? :-)The band entered 2005 by releasing "From Detroit To J.A.," an album-length mix created for James Hyman's "The Rinse" show on XFM in London. Soon after this it was announced they were to be awarded the 2005 Webby Award as "Artists Of The Year" by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), who declared the band to have "achieved new critical heights" and to be "true internet renegades."
For the rest of 2005 the band were quiet, whilst working on new material in their studio in Brighton, England. It took till March 2006 for them to break their silence with a series of online EPs heralding the arrival of their next release -- the double album "24 Hours," their most ambitious release yet. Alongside this came the announcement that the band were to produce the soundtrack for the Creative Commons licenced feature film project A Swarm Of Angels, due for release in 2007.
...Their long-threatened move into the live arena looks set to happen soon...
