Invented by Leon Theremin in 1919, the theremin is one of […]

Don’t Eat Your Vegetables

by Teresita Capuli (April 3rd, 2008 | 10:18 am) - No Comments

Don’t eat your vegetables, play them! This is exactly what the Vegetable Orchestra does performing solely on instruments made of veggies. The group uses carrot flutes, pumpkin basses, leek violins, cucumber-o-phones and celery bongos. Using goods from Mother Nature’s bounty, the ensemble conquers pre-conceived beliefs about music conceptions and their limitations.

Possible Solution to File Sharing for the Music World?

by AJ West (March 27th, 2008 | 1:54 pm) - No Comments

The Songwriters Association of Canada think they’ve found the cure for this moldy, day-old topic that never seems to end: To download or not to download? For years even before the bastard stepchild Napster was born, peer to peer file sharing peacefully existed as a pirate colony of streaming data.

Community Feedback

The Internet is quickly paving the way for artistic revolution, giving new arms for artists to reach art enthusiasts, collectors and appreciators across the globe. I am reminded of the words of musician and activist Jello Biafra when he suggested that we âbecome the mediaâ. Artists of all stripes now have the opportunity to do exactly this with the availability of platforms such as TalentDatabase.com. The art revolution for the Internet age is just beginning, and accessibility is no longer in the hands of an elite few. This is a visionary approach that will create unparalleled exposure for artists and a more eclectic and authentic palette for viewers and lovers of art. This is not just social networking. This is activism for art. I look forward to more!

This is my fourth day on this site and I am beginning to see artists from other sites showing up here. My sense is the online method of networking one\'s skill, search and marketing ability is just getting heated up. I certainly feel this site is moving in a proper direction with it\'s ease of operation, and apparent intention to actually aide the artist in reaching, \"End Users\", as in collector\'s, buyers, gallery owners, and those with disposable income. My hat is off to Talendatabase.com

The TalentSpeaks and InSpirit database is an invaluable resource for talent, news and up-to-date information. A zeitgeist of the contemporary art and expressionistic industry, I would recommend this site to amateurs and professionals alike.
