Tumblr

Provocative Chinese artist and human rights advocate Ai Weiwei has debuted the first single, Dumbass, from his forthcoming heavy metal album, The Divine Comedy, via his SoundCloud profile. The confrontational and explicit lyrics allude to the trauma he experienced during and after his 81 days in prison on a tax evasion charge. Weiwei dedicated the song, “…to all those people who do not have the opportunity to raise their voice, who will never be able to raise their voices.” You can follow him here  https://soundcloud.com/aiww

SoundClouder of the Day | Vieka

With sounds concocted from a mix of musical instruments, toys and electronic geekery, Vieka is anything but conventional. Describing herself as a ”singer-songwriter-electronic-fiddler-producer-engineer”, her avant-garde creations have led her to be compared to the likes of Björk and Portishead.

We like her experimental sounds and inventive use of tags (‘Lullabytronica’, anyone?) but we especially love the way Vieka leaves feedback and encouragement on other SoundClouders’ work. Way to go!
