Music must be accessible to everybody. That’s what VNTM thought before launching his Open Source project. Principle is the latest release with this concept in mind. Being accessible to everybody doesn’t mean you are able just to listen. The artist has released all the STEMS of the tune, letting artists do virtually what they want.
So, what this Open Source project is all about? Launched in 2023, VNTM’s project aims to let artists revisit, reinterpret, and understand his music. Every release comes paired with the full STEMS. This means you’re able to hear and use every single sound that the track is made of.
Not only are you able to download the track, but he’s granting you access to the stems and presets used with an Open Source license. This means that you can alter, remix, sample, or use the stems in any way you like, buying these stems grants you a waiver that allows for any type of use of the audio.
Clearly, you can’t take the STEMS and create a sample pack straight out of it.
Besides this Open Source project, the tune is a gem as well. Principle starts slow and dark. VNTM describes it as “a small nod to the old days of Afterlife, deep hypnotic melodic techno“. It’s mysterious, with hypnotic and long cinematic lines paired with eerie synths and evasive drums. It really brings you back in time, around 2018 and ’19. Everything is slowed down, making you feel every single sound element, with the baseline that rapidly flows through your body.
Open Source 10 with Principle is out now.
