Red Bull Music Academy sharing archives before shutting down on Halloween

https://pitchfork.com/news/red-bull-music-academy-which-shuts-down-this-week-shares-archive-with-over-500-lectures/

Really sad to see an end to RBM tbh fwiw. Hope some people archive this archive because I can't see it being kept online indefinitely by RB or the mediafirm that was producing the videos or whoever is paying for it now.  

The one with Moodymann is simply legendary. I also remember really enjoying the one with Trevor Horn even though I'm not particularly into anything or anyone he produced for. There's also a cool one with Legowelt where he shows a bit of his nord modular programming on a macbook. And there's so many slightly awkward moments in so many of these. 

Someone needs to do a huge compilation of awkward rbma lecture moments, would be glorious and horrible.

Well, that sucks.

Wow, hadn't heard about that. Say what you will about Red Bull, but RBMA was an institution. 20 years, damn.

Also, this was playing on Pitchfork when I just headed over there:

One or two surprising choices, and some funny and/or cringey quotes. Apologies for being off-topic.

The Cosey Fanni Tutti lecture is mandatory. Steve Reich's is great too.

They were one of the only sites to really cover the Global Communication reunion of 2011:

why techno sucks in 2019

it's the money

I guess these are safe since RB doesnt have to pay for YT hosting?? but with the way things are nowadays i could see them just deleting these too just for consistency.

Picosong was also taken down a few days ago. I Lost like 500 tracks, 6 years worth of uploads 

I'd expect a celebration because it's the end of capitalism! w00t

Seriously though: sad affairs. But great that it was a thing in the first place. Hopefully this will be available till the end of humanity (read next 50 years).
