'Nine Inch Nails'
Closer instrumental
Monday, December 17th, 2007Vocês não sabem o que o Trent está fazendo: postando versões e mais versões instrumentais das músicas todas dele. Por exemplo, Closer. Tem o Downward Spiral inteiro e o Year Zero inteiro. Tudo livre para download.
Eu amo esse homem mais que nunca.
Meme do desktop
Monday, December 17th, 2007Pessoas estranhas pediram para ver meu desktop. Essa é a foto que tenho no desktop. Meu desktop é todo negro (melhor para trabalhar) com pouquíssimos ícones e…
Yeah.
Essa é a foto que estava na semana passada.
I miss Robin Finck. O pequenino não é uma gracinha? Um bombom.
Acho que era óbvio que meu desktop teria NIN, não?
Nota de rodapé
Friday, December 14th, 2007O site de Remix do NIN continua me enlouquecendo. Acabei de baixar a versão promo de “The Perfect Drug” que só tinha saído no lançamento em vinil.
TR is god.
Cinema e NIN
Sunday, December 9th, 2007Dani in Uberlândia, para dar uma oficina de direção de arte e uma palestra na 1ª Mostra de Cinema e Vídeo do Triângulo Mineiro. Saiba mais aqui.
Novos NIN:
Remix!
NIN E-Lopo
O site de Remix é de babar. Eles acabaram de criar uma coisa que eu posso passar o dia inteiro escutando. YAY!
Edit: como membro do Spiral, meu login é automático e eu tenho uma página pessoal no site. TR está mimando os fãs.
Edit2: Acabei de terminar isso aqui. Fala pra mim, ficou bonito?
Argh! Como eu vou viajar até quinta-feira, vou deixar Mia-bebê com uma amiga minha, a Su, que é dona da Minimoe, que ficou hospedada aqui um mês. Nunca fiquei tanto tempo longe da Mia (que no momento, está na varanda olhando os passarinhos com cara de encantada).

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Essa reflexão do TR é tão importante, tão vital, que eu tinha que postar e comentar.
“What I WANT to do is crawl inside my own head and just make music. I’ve begun work on a new NIN project and the door to the cave I will soon crawl in is open and beckoning, but these last few weeks I’ve had to be a businessman. On occasion I don’t mind wearing that hat and becoming immersed in numbers and strategies and whatnot, but all I really want to do is make music.
Why have I been in business-mode lately? Glad you asked. See, the music business has imploded and nobody knows what to do. As an artist finally free from any obligations to a record company, I can do pretty much anything I want to - but what should that be?
How do you (in this order):
A. Be sure to place and keep yourself in a nurturing, creative space that inspires your art
B. Then determine how to present that to your audience in an appropriate fashion that’s respectful to both you the artist AND them.
C. Ideally do that in a way where it makes financial sense.
I highly doubt whether the strategy Saul and I chose to release his new record will be a viable business model for the road ahead. We didn’t do this as a “get rich quick” scheme. We did it because it felt (and feels) like the best way to get the most people to have the opportunity to hear what we consider to be an important record. It feels like the best approach as of October 2007 with the current set of circumstances in the “marketplace” (I hate that fucking word.) We did it because it kept the art PURE and it involved NO compromises regarding the content or the way it was presented to you. No iPod commercials, no ringtone giveaways, no billboards, no Best Buy exclusive content… and one could argue no exposure.
That’s the problem. How do you get the word out to as many people as possible and maintain your integrity in the process?
We assumed that by releasing the record this way it would generate some press interest, and it has. We hope that people will be curious enough to download and listen to the record, and yes - we hope people will choose to pay for it.
I have to say I’ve been amazed at some lengthy conversations I’ve seen on fan BBs regarding the decision to pay or not. People who are interested enough to register and frequent boards dedicated to an artist’s work really having to weigh out whether or not it’s worth $5 for an hour of new music. Has music really and truly been devalued that much? $80 is a decision, $5 is not.
All of that aside, our secret weapon is the record itself. It is what it is and that’s what people will be talking about long after the story of the business around it fades away.
Speaking of business… I’m done speaking (or thinking) about it for the day. I’m going to make some noise.
Good day,
TR”
Postei uma resposta para ele, espero que alguém da equipe dele (ou ele mesmo) leia e que seja útil. O post dele foi muito útil para as minhas próprias reflexões sobre meu trabalho.
Eis minha resposta:
“I downloaded the 9inchnails.com remixes. It´s awesome, I really loved it. I would pay to you 5 dollars for that, since you are the original owner, if I had the option. You know, the whole music and video business is lost at this new internet era. All cultural products lost value due how easy is to reproduce everything, arts, photos, music, movies. People don´t have the same quality standards they are used to, it makes no difference anymore if is a 256 mp3 or a compressed video or a high quality audio and image. It´s a new tendency, because the internet and because the whole world economy is unbalanced. In my country the main problem is people have no money to buy official CDs or DVDs cause is ridiculous expensive.
The artists who are making their living from their art here are dealing directly with the public, they are selling CDs/DVDs directly and are focused in live performances. Those performances also are much more multimedia than it used to be. I believe NIN is one of the most bold and vangardists musical projects.
This business is not anymore about sell Cds and or DVDs. It must be about live experiences, it must be about multimedia projects. I would like to suggest that you check the latest Peter Greenaway´s projects, this man is creating something really innovative and new, it deserves a careful attention. That´s my thoughts, I been working with movies and multimedia for the latest 12 years, it´s what I think can lead to a new business format.”

I do not want this
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007Um amigo meu está tendo o dia mais complicado que vocês possam imaginar. Automaticamente, me lembrei dessa música. Trent knows better. He always do.
NIN - I Do Not Want This (Live 1994)
I’m losing ground
you know how this world can beat you down
I’m made of clay
I fear I’m the only one who thinks this way
I’m always falling down the same hill
bamboo puncturing this skin
and nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall I’m drowning in
2 feet below the surface I can still make out your wavy face
and if I could just reach you maybe I could leave this place
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
don’t you tell me how I feel
don’t you tell me how I feel
don’t you tell me how I feel
you don’t know just how I feel
I stay inside my bed
I have lived so many lives all in my head
don’t tell me that you care
there really isn’t anything, is there?
you would know, wouldn’t you?
you extend your hand to those who suffer
to those who know what it really feels like
to those who’ve had a taste
like that means something
and oh so sick I am
and maybe I don’t have a choice
and maybe that is all I have
and maybe this is a cry for help
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
don’t you tell me how I feel
don’t you tell me how I feel
don’t you tell me how I feel
you don’t know just how I feel
I want to know everything
I want to be everywhere
I want to f*** everyone in the world
I want to do something that matters
Direto do Spiral
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007Direto do blog de Trent Reznor:
10/08/07 : big news, pt 1
Hello everyone. I’ve waited a LONG time to be able to make the following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label. I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate.
Look for some announcements in the near future regarding 2008.
Exciting times, indeed.”
Nada mais vai ser como antes.
“Oh yeah - Radiohead. I’m sure you are all aware of what they are doing with the release of their new record (inrainbows.com). I think it’s a great move and if you’re into them I highly suggest you support what they’re doing with this.
More soon.”
Pois é. TR tem que ser a minha eterna inspiração.
Dica: pra quem não é membro do Spiral mas é realmente fã de NIN, considere assinar urgentemente, não posso falar o motivo, mas muita coisa está anunciada por lá e muitas mudanças estão a caminho. Desculpem, mas eles já fecharam o sistema de inscrições. Achei que ainda estava aberto. Vão fundir o NIN.com com o Spiral, não tenho notícias ainda de como é que o site vai ficar. O Spiral está em polvorosa.
Kind I want to
