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.

Cary Sherman, the president of the RIAA, was guildtripping the univeristies, saying that the filesharing by their students was teaching bad values and was bad for innovation. "...this epidemic of music piracy threatens that spirit of innovation today. Piracy undermines both Internet2's stated and noble purpose to promote research and higher education, and our ability to invest in the next generation of creativity. It threatens -- both in theory and practice -- to leave new ideas in science, industry and finance vulnerable to theft and abuse by anyone who can somehow find a way to uncover them in the ethernet."
A teacher in computer music, Roger Dannerberg, responded in the same newspaper: "...My students also learn how the broadcasting industry, dominated by NBC and CBS, ignored recording technology until the NBC monopoly was broken up by the FCC. The innovations in magnetic recording for broadcast introduced by the struggling ABC were a major step forward, enabling the modern recording industry and even modern computer technology. Mr. Sherman, was the monopolistic suppression of innovation the "responsible use of network resources" you are seeking?"
