Free and Open For All: Interview with Jake Harries

"The first interview with Jake Harries, took place on one of 
Furtherfield's Radio broadcasts on Resonance FM, earlier this March 
2011. Fascinated by the historical context that came out of the radio 
discussion, we asked Jake for a second interview, this time it took 
place via email." Marc Garrett.

Jake Harries has been making music in Sheffield since the 1980s and is a 
sound artist, musician/producer, composer and field recordist with a 
strong interest in media art and the practical use of Open Source 
audio-visual software. He was a member of electronic funk band Chakk 
which is best known for building Sheffield's first large recording 
studio, FON Studios, in the mid 1980s. He is currently one of “freestyle 
techno” trio Heights of Abraham and The Apt Gets, a band which uses 
guitars and only Open Source software on recycled computers to create 
songs from spam emails. He is Digital Arts Programme Manager at open 
access media lab, Access Space, and the current curator of the LOSS 
Linux Open Source Sound a website dedicated to music made with FLOSS.
