AP Archivism
Currently setting up an archive/documentation section on AP conference here on the page. Step by step all the material accumulated over the weekend here in Berlin will be up there for download.
Starting with the full audio for the exquisite Artist Talk that took place Saturday morning:
DJ/Rupture (New York), Brian Shimkovitz (aka Awesome Tapes From Africa) (New York), John Eden (London), Kodwo Eshun (London) talk about the intermashing of poprization and interverse financilization of ‘new world music’, the role of blogs as hosts through which markets arrive by a discourse of pleasure/fandom, why germans are more exotic than africans and why there is no reason (at least for listeners) for pessimism in music.

The future is imminent in now. The future is bright. Enter the conversation!
Setting up a archive by publishing the files on share servers with limited lifespan? Uh…
@spongia
good point!
actually we are looking for someone to host the AP archive. the share servers are more a temporary thing to provide yall with some brainfood till we find a lasting solution. ideas anyone?
You should look after your data if you value it, be it recordings or music - something which hasn’t been discussed on Audio Poverty (for obvious reasons - a bit out of topic of poverty). No one has the master plan for keeping data for for long (long long) time spans, abyway i would trust the Internet Archive people for the time being, consider dropping some content or contacting http://www.archive.org/create/
Wow great to be able to hear this again and not concentrate on what to say next!
I would second archive.org but you may also like to also consider doing mp3s as a podcast via something like podomatic?
@spongia
Thanks for the tip!
archive.org seems to be temporarily down. alternative download link for the Artist Talk here: http://sharebee.com/42ce9245
