Along with 1,000 musicians, today we're releasing an (almost) silent album protesting the UK government's plan to upend copyright law to benefit AI companies.
It's an album of recordings of empty studios & performance spaces, representing the effect the govt's plans would have on musicians' livelihoods.
It's called 'Is This What We Want?', and the track list spells out a simple message: "The British Government Must Not Legalise Music Theft To Benefit AI Companies".
Incredibly grateful to the many, many musicians involved 🙌
All profits are going to @HelpMusicians.
Please listen & share!

Earlier this week we held a joint session with @CommonsSITC investigating the Government's plans to reform copyright for AI development.

This will be the final piece we perform to a live audience this year – Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony in C minor, serving up all the drama and madness (not to mention the intense physical workout) 🔥
Last show today at Liverpool’s gorgeous @TungAuditorium 4-6pm

All 7 billion human beings have a common experience—we all appreciate love. We all have a seed of love and affection within us and the potential to cultivate greater love and compassion. If we want to create peace in the world it has to start with the heart, with inner peace.

If anyone in the entire U.K. wants to plant thousands of trees on their land for free, this winter, and doesn’t care about income just wants free trees, I will drive to you in my EV and we’ll get that going. Swear to god it’s free for you. Just don’t cut em down for 30 years. RT. – at Llandrindod Wells, Wales

Sound designers: I know you think it's a nice little wink to your audience but nothing destroys immersion more than the fucking Wilhelm scream. Stop using it. It wasn't amusing in Star Wars and it's unbearably trite now.

Ministers helped some of their friends get very, very wealthy off the pandemic. It's a scandal that demands answers. (Our latest with @ByDonkeys)

The Australien Government has made an ad about Carbon Capture and Storage, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #CCS

What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK.
The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.
RT to expose. #Wasteminster 1/5
