Hello,
I Am working in a youth center and am trying to teach the art of DJing to teenagers.
the center is located in a poor neighborhood, and our work there is voluntary and is very difficult at times. the workers at the center have come an understanding that the biggest catalyst for crime and violence is boredom. they've asked me to try and start a dj class as a part of their attempt to offer interesting and relevant activities to as many kids as possible. the problem was we had no budget, and had to get everything from donations. the only piece of equipment that the canter had was an old heavy PA amplifier. we managed to get some equipment from local stores and some used equipment from fellow djs who didn't need it any more (broken headphones, two CDJ100's, a belt turntable, a P4 laptop, etc...) not the best in the market but it eventually gets the job done. the children were very interested. the problem that i've encountered is that the music they hear is mainly the bs you get on MTV and local commercial radio stations. i want to expand their knowledge and give them a better understanding in the internet culture weve talked about copyright, and corporate media, open source codes, I've shown them websites like bandcamp, soundclound, dj blogs.
Now i want to show them the democratic culture of the bittorent network.
this will achieve two goals
one is to explose them to the importance of a copyright free culture in human development, and the communities that trackers have.
two is to give them real tools and resources in finding and discovering new music to polish their act and give them advantagesover the competition.
therefore I ask you for an invitation on a music tracker like waffles or what.cd.
I, Personally, am a TL user since 2006, with +1TB buffer, I also use Audionews, although not quite as often. i can send you ratioproofs if you want.
thanks in advance...
