On Marco Parente website [www.marcoparente.it] you won’t simply find whole songs to be downloaded, but rather INDIVIDUAL AUDIO TRACKS from songs spanning the entire opus of the singer-songwriter. A free resource for manipulation and re-contextualization.

This is a liberation of the elements of a musical piece: of the information both used in, and cut from, the final mix.

With this action Marco Parente, Lorenzo Brusci - Timet and Giovanni Artignano – Stolen
give expression to a dynamic concept:

Music that is open, malleable, that is born to be transformed, that lends itself to the creation of new musical stories.

This is an invitation to a dialogue via manipulation, to the fast and intense circulation of ideas.

We believe the world to be a web of individuals who not only make, but speak and live music. There are too many obstacles to the spread of the many forms of music of our planet.

There exists a conventional market for music.
But we would encourage the circulation of a greater currency through musical citation.

The approach of Open Music is not only a choice of mode of communication, but also for the quality of music in the world. Music begets music. The processes of variation, transfiguration, and the de-contextualization of elements of the works of others are fundamental to the creation of music, as amply evidenced in the history of music by Bach, Mozart, Mahler and many others.
