Dendriet is a network of musicians in The Hague (.nl) that perform with networked electronic and acoustic instruments. The word dendriet, or dendrite, is also the name for the receptors of a nervecell. Dendrites are typically branching branches. You'll find these fractal shapes in ice, in metal chrystals in limestone, and likewise, in our performance setups. Please do check out our homepage by clicking the stone. You too are invited to join the discussions.

New copyright law down under
Upside: Musicians that are not the writers of the music can enforce ISPs to take their music of off the internet.
Downside: It doesn't sound to clear who has the right to have a site taken down. Translated to the Dutch law, it can mean that the BUMA (owns the exploitation rights) can force a ISP to take down a site, eventhough the musicians (the copyright owners) are totally OK with the site being online.
And oh, the copyright is extended by 20 years, which means they have to wait another 20 years for first ELvis-recordings to become public domain. (For us, this happens next month.)
