INDONESIAN NETAUDIO FESTIVAL #2
14-16 NOVEMBER 2014

BANDUNG

The second Indonesian Netaudio Festival (#INF2) will be held in Bandung on 14 – 16 November 2014, following the first Indonesian Netaudio Festival, which was successfully held in the city of Yogyakarta on 16 – 17 November 2012 to align with the 5th anniversary of Yes No Wave Music. This festival is meant to establish online connections, as well as to instill an ‘offline’ experience to the actors, observers, and lovers of netaudio—Internet based audio activities. #INF2 is organized by Sorge Sindikasi, KKBM Unpar, IFI Bandung, and Indonesian Netlabel Union.

Internet has become an effective means to disseminate knowledge and information, and one of the ways is by using netaudio. Netaudio activities such as netlabels (Internet based record labels) and online streaming are increasingly being enjoyed by people worldwide. One of the prominent characters of Internet is the presence of free culture, a culture that enables the access for people to naturally use, develop, and distribute existing knowledge and information.

Raising people’s awareness on free culture has become pivotal in distributing and producing better, more sustainable, and independent bodies of knowledge. The information campaign and awareness raising on this free culture will be realized through the Indonesian Netaudio Festival, which also encompasses offline activities for netaudio actors and lovers, thus encourgaing them to further contribute to their environment and to the society in general.
