Tryad
Tryad (sometimes also spelled try ^ d or try Δ d ) is a pop music project that was founded in 2005 and develops its music collaboratively on the Internet . Originally a trio (hence the name), today it consists of numerous, changing members who are spread all over the world, mostly only appear as pseudonyms and contribute various elements to the songs.
The project publishes its music under Creative Commons licenses and expressly encourages other musicians to participate through remixes . It also allows the songs to be redistributed commercially. His albums, which are available both for free on the Internet and in stores for a fee, were among the most popular on the music platform Jamendo in early 2008 . The “pioneers of the worldwide Creative Commons movement” also acquired “cult status” in the following years.
history
The starting point for the foundation was a track that had been placed under a free Creative Commons license by the British trip-hop musician rjmarshall , one of the later members on the Internet . The American John Holowach created a remix of this track, which in turn was discovered by the singer Vavrek , who added his vocals to it. The musicians contacted each other and decided to set up a joint project called Tryad.
Little by little, more musicians joined in, who contributed to the songs. The band has now produced two albums, and a third, which is to be released under the title The Tree , is in the works. In February 2016, a single was released under the title celebrity on Bandcamp , where the project is now also represented. In addition, the albums can still be found in the Internet Archive .
style
Tryad's music is described as a mixture of pop , classical music and ambient . There are also elements from the electronic music of the 80s, trip-hop , techno and house .
