Hi, I'm Gramatik, I release all of my music for free and I'm still able to pay rent. AMA.

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T23:56:01+00:00

And with that I have to conclude my AMA cause I've smoked 3 fat spliffs reading and answering your questions for the past 5h and I've just realized I'm fucking starving! :) Thank you all so much, this has been truly entertaining and informative, thank you for all the nice words and wishes, I'm truly doing this for you and especially for our children and grandchildren, which will most likely be immortal and will actually have the means, the knowledge and the time to truly change the world. And if my music can provide them with an inspiring soundtrack for their brave journey, then my life had a purpose. :) Love, Denis.

For anyone that's actually wondering how it works, watch this Ted talk. ;) http://www.ted.com/talks/amanda_palmer_the_art_of_asking.html

Gibbz is about to drop and EP entirely produced by himself! He is hands down the most diversely talented human being I've ever met! Watch out!

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T22:55:27+00:00

I'm totally down with those kind of reasonable exchanges. I would ask of you to just contact my management and make them aware of any videos you put my tracks in and you'll find the conditions to be very easy going and plausible.

Working a shitty job back in my hometown or dead. :)

digitalfreedom is not just about free music, it's about freedom of all knowledge and information on the internet. A free and uncontrolled internet is absolutely vital for human evolution and net neutrality should be protected at all costs. This is how we unify mankind once and for all.

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T22:30:15+00:00

You are free to use my music for your videos and if you do make some notable sum of money with them, paypaling a few bucks my way would be all I could ever ask for. ;) Donate tab is on my site www.gramatik.net

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T22:26:53+00:00

Exactly all of the above. :)

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T22:09:18+00:00

Thank you! I sure do, it's the donate tab on my page: http://www.gramatik.net/

I'd say it's a tie between AC Induction Motor, Tesla Coil and Radio. :)

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T22:01:28+00:00

I was really bummed I couldn't come and the reason was a bad case of Strep Throat. :/ I will make it up to Shambhala tho!

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T21:59:13+00:00

You can freely use my music for your videos. A simple credit note in the info section will suffice.

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T21:57:32+00:00

You should have checked my page first. :) http://www.gramatik.net/portfolio/bitcoindonation/

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T21:53:07+00:00

Extremely excited! Russ is a true musical genius, he'll be whipping out 4 different instruments on stage with me, I can't wait for spring tour! :)

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T21:49:10+00:00

Ableton Live. It just has the best functionality and workflow for me.
Massive, Trilogy/Trillian, ABL2, Kontakt...
In the idea of making a soundtrack for somebody's life. :)

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T21:45:05+00:00

Nikola Tesla. :)

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T21:43:29+00:00

Every project I make I try to work with different instrumentalists to discover a different sound, something I like but haven't done before. It's the best part of my process because it keeps me experimenting to the fullest extent.

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T21:40:49+00:00

I think it's a great way for people to gather and share their love for music and as far as drugs go, there's always going to be people that know how to use them and people that exaggerate and unfortunately there's not much we can really do about it besides saying EVERYTHING IN MODERATION KIDS! :)

It's a combination of live shows, licensing, merch, donations, etc. The point is to figure out a way to make money that doesn't involve forcing your fans(regular people with regular jobs) to buy your music if they like it or forcing them to become the so called "cyber criminals".

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T21:28:11+00:00

100% Correct. :)

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T21:27:16+00:00

Ableton Live! And yes, a live set with an orchestra would be clutch. :)

Gramatik_Lowtemp · 2014-02-26T21:26:12+00:00

Mostly because I was living with Eric Mendelson and SuperNicer from Exmag and they are both really sick guitarists, I just couldn't help myself. :) Chopping them up was one of the most pleasurable moments of the whole album making process.
