bail//konsortium//kidsreturn hi. we can imagine that you might ask yourself about the meaning of the word “konsortium” in the context of this split lp you hold in your hands. hopefully you have found out which bands are involved in this thing meanwhile. well, this definition of the meaning of “konsortium” in this context describes the intention we had in its turns. in its meaning the word “konsortium” describes an association, short term or permanent of two or more legally and economically independent firms (e.g. banks or businessmen) with the objective of participating in a common, exactly defined activity, with generally economic aims in the foreground (synergy effects, distortion of competition through cartellike structures, devision of labor). so, if we consider the global markets and the cost of natural resources or resources in general nowadays, the struggle for highest financial benefits is not just a part of banks and governments anymore but a phenomenon that even arts, and music tend to operate with and which influences smaller structures such as labour, employment, cultural activities, and living itself. a common sight. one aim of arts and music can often be to formulate and create acts of liberation from these structures by working within them. this reference is a fluent alteration which arts is very much used to. it comes with an inherent paradox, because in the context of struggle an that which is struggled against, it is the norm which experiences greatest recognition. so within this area of conflict we entitled this split lp “konsortium” with the idea of doing exactly the opposite of what business does; operating on an entirely independent level - better compared to friendship - sharing similar ideas and thoughts, working on a diy basis with no economic aims and market shares in mind. if we should change our stance on this issue, we would let you know. we hope you enjoy the record meanwhile. thank you!
