Hey all,

We recently wrote a paper for The Journal of Music Technology & Education
for their 'Open Source Special Issue'.

It will be published in the journal imminently and a slightly differently
formatted version is in the University of Huddersfield repository:

http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/15006/

Abstract here:

"Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) is licensed to allow users the
freedom to copy, reuse, study and develop the software. As a term which
efficiently encompasses both ‘free software’ and ‘open-source’ models,
FLOSS may offer music practitioners and researchers the opportunity to
develop and use such software without becoming mired in a particular
stance. In this article, parallels between FLOSS and experimental music are
explored, with a view to highlighting their compatibility. Through
reflection on the recent composition, recording and distribution of three
text scores, this article examines how the application of a FLOSS framework
may assist with such work in an academic setting and how FLOSS tools might
be utilized in such settings in the future as they become more prevalent,
more reliable and more stable."

Any comments welcome.

All the best,

Julian
