in the late 1990s and early 2000s, consumer electronics, home media, and the internet had reached a happy medium in terms of design and accessibility. the internet was still a new and exciting technology that copyright law and advertising hadn't yet started maintaining their stranglehold on. it could still be used for quick and easy access to information and other users, rather than for access to fragments of thoughts and jokes castrated by the platforms they are relegated to. home recording equipment and computers were affordable and easy to use for the first time in history. booming physical music sales, thanks to the compact disc, meant that studios and labels could give budgets to artists and projects of all kinds. all of these things combined to create a perfect storm: a level of creative freedom afforded by technology the magnitude of which has rarely been achieved since.
compact disc sales peaked in the year 2002, when i was born. my mission when djing under the name compact disc blood pact is to evoke a sense of childlike wonder and boundless creativity afforded to us by new technology and the new sounds it delivers us. my mission with my online music archival project the devil's den is to be someone that uses the internet and compact discs to their full potential to facilitate the continued creativity of myself and others, and inspires others to do the same.
