What is #PunkArsipan?
#PunkArsipan is an initiative that collect information about hardcore and punk music in Indonesia. The collection kicked off by act of collecting music files scattered in several archival or free download music outlets like Katuamidruta, punkindonesiamp3, indieshow.biz, Old Skull MP3 or from music sharing platform like Bandcamp, Soundcloud, dan ReverbNation. We plan to always expand the collection, either the number of the collection or the method to approach each of it individually (like a database of each song that shows language used in each of song title that we're going to release soon).
For now we provide raw database and direct access to the archive so while user can access our notation method, they could also directly listen, copy and redistribute the collection.
Moreover, instead of having them viewed through normative intellectual property binoculars as mere "piracy", we want the websites we referenced above to also be interpreted more deeply as forms of self-archiving that arose out of a strong intention to share knowledge. For this reason, we will also seek to provide a space for documenting these independent archiving initiatives.
