Here is a little more information about beatnik from their site.....it looks to me like a strip mall for musicians, producers, those seeking to develop music on their sight. From reading some of the site's bits and pieces it looks like it is some "want..a..be"...sorta a brain storming toward hopefully developing.......future web music.!!!!!...go figure!!!!......now the word....."beatnik"...60's. ....wierd.....carefree...has the answer to everything....sorta like a page from the past.......de j vu However the following was taken from their site: Welcome! Are you raring to sonify the web every day users are voting for interactive sound and music with millions of mouse clicks. New and ever more amazing sonified sites are appearing. But to make interactive sound and music a truly integral and exciting part of the Web will take something beyond what one company or individual can do. In fact, it'll take an entire community. And that's what we're building with you right here: A place for Web surfers, developers, sound producers and all other interested folks to come together, talk, compare notes, exchange information and build some excitement about sonification. From Thomas Dolby Robertson co-founded Beatnik in 1993 As an entrepreneur, what do we do at Beatnik is cut out and slice for ourselves, which is the interactive area, which is different than retail. We're not competing with Liquid Audio and MP3.com in any way. In a way all we're competing with right now is the speed or slowness at which the web adopts and warms to the idea of having music in all of it's contents. Who is Beatnik? Unless your idea of fun is a hermetically sealed silent world on the Web, you are. Find specific Beatnik resources for everyone from Flash/Shockwave, QuickTime and RealAudio producers to broadcast and film producers. Plus, learn how to make Web sonification work for you if you're an ad agency, corporate marketer, musician, composer and many others.
