Ok here it is “THE DAILY TWEETER” ( kinda like Peter Parker’s Daily Bugle from Spiderman) The first thing to get with is “It’s not how many followers you have, but who’s rt’ing you what kind of leader are you?” Know what your niche is and be an influencer in that field. I use Hootsuite […]

We know that underground Hip Hop music is a tough grind. Artists that are true to this genre form tend to be realists and not subjugated to the commercial whims of the BIG RECORD INDUSTRY. Although a lot of the mainstream artists may have the trappings of success, cars, gold, women, liquor, smoke, nice apartments […]

Videos have become the most popular way to communicate ideas and thoughts to people. For quite some time they have surpassed the conventional means of reading articles, newspapers, magazines.   CPirate has been studying the advent of videos since about 1988, over twenty five years ago, by splicing music content into video cassette recordings of animated cartoons.

It is about time that the artist has caught up to date with modern technology. Musicians, Photographers and Filmmakers have long ago accepted the digital revolution, but artists have lagged far behind. Sure a lot of gee whiz lights flashing, use of old industrial parts and digital drawing tools (the main tool I now use) have crept onto […]

UK Invasion Banner CPirateNetwork now looks to expand it’s social reach. What was happening was that streaming in a global environment was becoming difficult to be sociable with viewers that are on, of course a different time schedule.   We have a lot of connections with underground artists in the UK like DISLautomatic, CaraArtist and CyrusDaVirus just […]

As an artist acting as agent for self I find I must have a strong code of ethics for self. So I thought my friend Chuck Galagher’s article he offered to reblog would be very appropriate:by Chuck Gallagher Business ethics should seem simple, but the more analytic we approach the subject the more complicated the explanation of “business […]

We have been coming on quite a quandary. Art is not a hobby for us, but it has been becoming a chore to get into the art part of the studio and work. Becoming so engrossed in the music side of the studio for more than 8 hours a day was the norm. But what I wonder about […]

“Hey we’ve got this new social media buzz and its really the new way to communicate our product. But let’s continue to do things the way we normally do and make it an avenue for the upwardly mobile.

It’s one thing to write about art, especially Avante-garde art. But when you’re away from the major markets of NY, LA and Paris buzz can be hard to come by unless you can afford to have a publicist.Popular right now is discovering the new African art of Kenya and Nigeria, along with interest in the […]

Most people think of artists as only creating unmoving pictures. But in avant-garde art the object can also be to create a movement in a direction outside of the normal conventional commercial modes. That is what Ikohaus founder Romero is doing through it’s creation of the CPNStream.The CPNStream is completely independent and solely supported by Ikohaus. The page shown here is […]

Sometimes a museum can pop up in the most obscure places. But when a local government building is the source of this obscurity things can become interesting, or not. If no one knows the exhibit is there because there is no social information given to newspapers or online sources, the value of the works cannot […]

We live in age that has technological advances happening at a very rapid pace, and the artists in the music industry think they are up to date. On the other hand the fans of the music are quite snug and secure in the same boat. YouTube has been the De-facto standard for so long nothing […]

Did you ever think that there were two distinct types of art? Yes and it seems that the commercial aspect of art has taken over. We have selected certain individuals to be art critics and they’re job is to tell us what is and what is not art. They have succeeded in actually muddying the whole value system. It […]

Something terrible is happening in the Fine Arts world.

Most often partnering is a way to increase and or maximize profits. But I have been talking with a new friend the CEO of #TNM, The New Movement Rayne McCloud.

IMG is planning on giving Kickstarter another try. Here’s the story straight and simple. Back in 2011 we went to Kickstarter with a concept to stage a music concert with the Rangers. Kickstarter told us they didn’t accept music events as viable projects, so we went “Spike Lee” and sought out backers. The only ones […]

We’ve wanted to get more involved with under appreciated artists on CPirateNetwork, from the Hip Hop, Jerk, Reggae and Kenyan Mizuka music scene.

The idea and concept came in a flash. For a while I had been talking about how the new art form was creating Apps with Saul Fleischman the RiteTag creator. Slowly but surely he started to come around to my point of view and see the most important thing in society now was creating apps. This […]

When we first started working with Amazon and artwork in 2007 the engagement was a very on again off again tumultuous affair. It just was quite difficult getting to list artwork on Amazon if you were an artist that was still alive. Finally little by little things started to change in our relationship with Amazon, we guess as technology […]

While work is begun on a project called “Museum In A Box: Concerto Barocco” by Michael K Brown, Vito Palumbo and “Romero” we thought it may be good to give some background and preview of the work…the first to hear of the project was Paul Snookes a retired lecture professor from the University of Worcester in the […]

Avant-garde Classical Composer Vito Palumbo Vito Palumbo is a very dear friend of mine and a member of Ikohaus Avant-garde artists. This is the story of how we became fast friends and artistic collaborators via the internet. The group had formed shortly before December of 2007 when the second inductee Maggie Beresford photographer of Australia, told […]

As an artist who takes a lot of photographs, I’ve discovered a bug in Instagram and FourSquare. It’s a little known flaw, but probably really only affects African Americans because of racial profiling.What’s this you say? What does racial profiling have to do with Instagram and FourSquare. Well for that fact both of these apps […]

For a large portion of the day we’ve been working with the mobile, video on demand portion of the CPirateNetwork. Being on the cutting edge can make the task quite daunting as we find after talking with Livestream that only previously recorded live content can go into the library. Couple that together with the fact […]

M.I.S.R.W. Music Intelligence Submarine Race Watching is program developed by the CPiratenetwork to get underground music artists videos out to a worldwide audience. What we’ve noticed is that since the Occupy Wall Street Movements collapse, many in the music industry have followed suit and gone into “dumb it down mode”. The industry faced with drastic […]

This article guest written by: Syn Delano If I had a dollar for everytime someone referred to an artist as “crazy”, with disgust in their tone, I’d have enough money to never need to work for anyone else. I use the word ‘crazy’ heavily because I don’t view it as a bad thing. It is my belief that every […]

We have done this before with transglobal internet collaboration of art with Ikohaus [carefully archived from 2009 for us by archive.org], but that was only four artists working between Australia, Italy and the US. Now our issue is how to put in place an infrastructure that we’ve created to promote and distribute a new music form […]

If you’ve had your ear to the ground in Hip Hop music, Jerk, Dancehall and Kenyan Mizuka music, you may noticed a delineation and separation into two distinct camps. Commercialized and Underground. The Little Wayne, Big Money factor has swept across the landscape like the Ice Age. Slowly but surely creeping into the cracks and crevices of Jerk […]

Lascaux-cave-painting The caves at Lascaux France are an amazing find. The artisans used the same types of pigmented paints that Egyptians used on the walls of the pyramids to last thousands of years, so that we have a good true glimpse into the past thoughts of the artist.   Like Picasso, Paul Klee, Joseph Cornell […]

Since the inception of Napster 13 years ago mp3 sales have been slumping. Currently the major swing in upcoming artists is giving music away in hopes as Mystakarta alludes to in an article he wrote 3/26/13; of being recognized by the “BIGS” Sony, Universal (UMG) and Warner.  We were working with a music aggregator to get under-recognized African new Mizuka […]

The music industry has been suffering a downward spiral for the last decade with the advent of Napster.

A question that we had been seeking an answer to since 2007 when Vito Palumbo and I met online through a mutual photographic artist has comeback to light.

“Live For Now” – Possibly you are wondering where did you hear that slogan from?

This is for the Community Open Online Learning initiative: It’s come to our attention, by observing the current learning process of today’s youth, that video plays an important integral part in the quicker absorption rate of imparted knowledge. The rapid fire amount of information to be assimilated is no longer capable of being taught by the creative visualization […]

I’ve often wanted to work from the female figure in art, but had really gotten out of the practice as finding suitable models that one can afford can be quite daunting and expensive.Thinking back to my training in art school I remembered how we talked about the artist taking pictures of a particular scene so […]

FOREWORDThe Day The Music LivedIt was a warm Summer’s day, a Sunday in about 1960, as my family piled into my father’s 55′ Buick Special. I loved that car with the fake chrome exhaust holes along the fender, it made me feel like it was a big bulbous race car. It was so safe and […]

1969 Photo Brooklyn Tech HS NYC Process DiscoveryWe’ve made a huge discovery of social media importance during the process of creation on this project.

Involving Social Media I have long thought about involving other people or Social Media in the Art process. But until the advent of the computer and the current proliferation of Social Media tools the thought could not materialize. So after formatting the beginning concept of using Social Media to set value, the idea came upon how […]

Comparing the two headphones…was kind of like listening to the Presidential debates of 2012. One headphone candidate, Dr Dre Beats had a lot of “Gap” (showboat talking and hype) and everybody who was somebody had to have them on. In the studio pictures were taken with DJ’s and Rappers wearing the headphones like fashion. Dr […]

What is S3? We Avante-garde artist are endeavoring to truly bring art into the 21st Century.

We have all heard this term used many times to describe something new and wonderful akin to the new Apple iPhone5. But in that sense we are talking about technology and comparing it to an art form. But in what state is real art in? I think it’s safe to say that real art is […]

The music scene has become a desolate landscape, dotted with the charred wreckage of failed music careers in the lower outer lying landscape, with just a few visible peaks of phantom great mountains appearring afar through the mists of  *pre-pablumated content (a word coined to designate synthetic content formulated to appease a predesigned saleable formula).
