 Tonight we invite you to be part of a temporary experimental zone – where sonic legal boundaries are negotiated, tested and expanded.
+----
 On 6th October 2011 here at Camden Arts Centre during the opening of the Haroon Mirza and Nathalie  Djurberg exhibitions an experimental DJ set was played and recorded. The set was a compilation of music selected, not for its eclectic sound or rareness of recordings but primarily for its legal status. Gleaned from the edges of the public domain, songs from early commercial releases, currently subject to a conflict in copyright status between lyrics and musical composition, were edited, redacted, cut-up and processed to suppress copyright-secured elements and to enable, for the first time, the release of public domain layers from the proprietary control of commercial publishers.
