Other possibilities for pieces of paper: towards a collaborative archive of the independent scene

Abstract

2015 was an important year for the new independent scene in Ecuador. A group of bands linked to the indie scene, a sector of local music grouped in certain festivals and concerts, generated a powerful and contagious movement of fans of which I was also a part. At the same time, I started working on Radio COCOA (RC), and it was in this context that I noticed an ubiquitous object in the concerts I attended and that, unsuspectedly, configured the live music experience: the setlist These pieces of paper became the engine of a series of reflections and projects around the history of the music scene to which I belonged.
