What’s this?
Fragilité is a new social service dedicated to contemporary music where you can upload some materials of your own or not with limitations of sound quality for online streaming, as well as you can upload books and scores [this feature will be added soon], create your own events, blogs and much more.
The goal of fragilité is the Enlightenment. We want to spread contemporary «serious» music into the Internet. It’s not a commercial project, it’s just like open library and open lecture hall for very rare music.
So far, the site is in English, but other languages will be added later.
What is contemporary music?
For us contemporary music is serious music of XX and XXI centuries, including contemporary classical, avant-garde, academical, electroacoustic and other professional musical styles. Typical composers names are (just for example) Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis, Anton Webern, Bernard Parmegiani and many others.
How to use it?
Look at the top of the site. You will find the main menu divided into three sections (of course, if you have already registered and logged in. If not – try this link to register) . Check out “My Account” – this is your main navigation menu on fragilité. You can check out all your groups and events here, send a message to your friend and do many other things. All your blogs are shown separately in “My Blogs” entry, where you can jump to read it by clicking its name or to have a choice of some quick edits if you have sufficient privileges for that. All other functions related to blogs are located in “My Account”.
There is nothing wrong if you’ve made a mistake. Any member of your group can help you to add some information about uploaded music or anything else.
What about copyright?
All audio has a low bitrate (128kbit as a maximum and 20 Mb as a max size) and can be only listened online. If you have an opportunity to buy any music you find on fragilité, please use this opportunity! :)
About moderation
All blogs are post-moderated while the service is in beta phase.
