11-midnight tonight we host sounds from a wonderful collective across the pond.
deepwhitesound (DWS) is an international online label of free, experimental music founded
in 2005 based in USA. Born in Hawaii DB Amorin, DWS's founder, lives in living in Portland, Oregan.
DWS say their mission is bi-fold: to create challenging, experimental
work and make it available via digital download for free - and to support and foster a
community for artists working at the fringes of art, technology and
society.
DWS gives special attention to interdisciplinary work
in new
media, installation, performance as well as generative and web-based mediums that "expand the possibilities of how sound-based art is experienced,
distributed and discussed". While female, queer and ethnic minority
experimental artists comprise a woefully under-represented and
under-supported demographic, they are of particular interest to
DWS who champion the margins. However DWS state clearly that they "
seek out and support work from all
people, everywhere, who wish to broaden the scope of what is possible".
DB Amorin is the founder of
deepwhitesound. Born
in Honolulu, HI USA currently living
in Portland, OR USA,
Amorin runs
deepwhitesound to support the vision of experimental artists,
as well as to propagate the ideology that art should be free to access
and share. He also currently works for
ProjectGrow, an art studio and urban
farm for adults with developmental disabilities and
The Creative Music
Guild, an all-volunteer non-profit organization facilitating
experimental performance
in Portland, OR. As a
visual and sound artist, his work typically deals with perception,
identity and representation, using cheap reproduction methods and DIY
techniques to explore malfunction and abstraction
in form. For more information and samples of his visual art, visit
