classwar karaoke is a netlabel, operated by myself, Anthony Donovan, as murmurists. As a project, it is based around a series of ongoing, quarterly surveys, the first of which, dubbed '0001 survey', was released in May 2008. Each survey is different - in terms of personnel, number of personnel, and in terms of theme. Participation is fairly open - so long as those interested in being involved work intelligently within the broad context of experimental music and do not seek to use the project as just another on-line shop-window for their material. So far, the inclusive nature of classwar karaoke has worked wonderfully-well in terms of quality of material. See and hear for yourself by checking out our internet archive pages. Indeed, the label itself was envisaged, from the very start, as an experiment in the positive power which inclusivity can have upon artworking if included in meaningful ways. That said, I reserve the right to maintain the quality of both the art which is offered and the community from which it comes. My ambitions for the label do not stop at periodic on-line releases. In the short time it has been running, we have already had one classwar karoke live showcase; which featured as 0005 survey. More gigs are planned. Similarly, physical releases - of CRDs and DVDs - are planned. If you like what you hear and see, please leave a comment; and if you'd like to be included in a future survey, get in touch, and we can discuss that possibility.
Best wishes,
Anthony

0006 survey / 3rd May 2009

Open by cutting (me). Occupying; then quell, you steep, invigorated paterfamilians - of brio, of muniment; you stride into a land without restraint, dressed in silver bullets, werewolving; as indictments, to the endless palilalia, of sado sado sado. Goya made us do it; and seventeen stabs at independent information gets you this far:
