This is a personal journey based upon George Christian's memories on what online experimental music artists he felt interesting enough to shake his world outside his country, Brazil.
It aims to cover what could be some of the greatest music in the first two decades of 21st century as well. The artists included here somehow became a reference for his decision to also become an online experimental musician and connect himself to the scene he's found navigating on My Space and on Soundcloud, mostly. Also, it's a proof that intelligent life always existed even outside the margins of what has become an estabilishment.

An introduction by Hiroshi Mehata:

The first two decades of 2000's were a time when it was easier to interact with the expansion of social nets, and had the only precious time that only the results of expressions that did not require background and Human relationship context were respected.

To the people who know the joy and excitement of the early SoundCloud, where the status of the world map is gradually filled in by the country of the listener, how far the world would have appeared more accessible and full of possibilities.

As of 2020, the social network itself has become established perfectly, and the boundary with reality has become thin, becoming more semi-realistic and accompanying closure of the community exchange, and this free mood seems has already been lost. However, how much did the lively interaction between artists with the ease of streaming have had an impact on the world's music scene?

Or was it not at all?

Music that is consumed, music that is not consumed, information that is buried in information, the time and passion of expression that they have spent there, was it a useless inspiration?

However, at least we can know the trajectory. I believe that the accumulated data of our musical passion will surely show the light for the next era.
When we look back on the 2010s a few decades later, I sincerely hope that the path that our music showed is proved to be a prosperous era.
