[edit]| Description |
This is the cover art for Saving Light by the artist Gareth Emery and Standerwick. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to Monstercat. |
|---|---|
| Source |
"Saving Light" by Gareth Emery and Standerwick, featuring Haliene at Monstercat |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
| Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. |
| Purpose of use |
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public. |
| Replaceable? |
As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. |
| Other information |
Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under the copyright law of the United States as described above. |

[edit] | This image is of a cover of an audio recording, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the work or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers
qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. |

| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The image will be used to supplement the discussion of the music video in the section of the article that discusses the music video and allow the reader to visually identify the work and understand that they have come to an article containing critical discussion of the music video. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
As an official music video of a popular song, any reproductions or derivatives of it will almost certainly be copyrighted as well. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
As a work of visual art, the music video cannot be identified with words alone to the same extent that a visual screenshot of the video can. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The image will only be used once in the section of the article discussing its music video. Only a single frame from the video will be used to identify it. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The file has been resized so that its resolution would be inferior in quality to an official version of the video, while still being sufficient to identify the video. |
| Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of Saving Light//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MicroPowerpoint/sandboxtrue | |
| This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted music video or promotional video for a music artist, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the producers of the video and possibly also by the music artist. It is believed that the use of a limited number of low-resolution screenshots
qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. |
Kliptown Empyrean
[edit]---
doesn’t seem to be an official release given it was only released on Soundcloud[1]
In the meantime, we have ‘Kliptown Empyrean’ to tie us over, and it’s a brilliant track. With the essence of that signature Skrillex sound we all have come to know and love, it gives us that hyped up, choppy type of sound that’s been missing from our lives for a bit now, and we’re happy to see it return.[2]
Along with the track is a new cover art visual, depicting his logo on the beach[2]
in March 2020, Skrillex, who mysteriously wiped his Instagram earlier this summer, had remained tight-lipped on any further details until now.[3]
October 23rd[3]
It's a chilled out garage track akin to "Fire Away,"[3]
Filled with soft and delicate synths and melodies, it still features a lot of hallmark Skrillex effects in its drum patterns, vocal modulations, and more. It bears a lot of resemblance to the vibe we got on “Would You Ever?” with Poo Bear all those years ago.[4]
Skrillex shared a photo to Twitter showing him using Ableton's "share on Soundcloud" feature[5]
The single takes elements from a mix of genres including ambient, UK garage, and future garage, landing as a hybrid with refreshing atmospheres.[6]
“Kilptown Empyrean” notably also pairs unique signatures from the past and present, sampling Lizzie McGuire in addition to 808’s from The Prodigy‘s “Breathe.”[6]
“Kliptown Empyrean” is Skrillex’s first full solo release in nearly half a decade. [6]
Kliptown is a suburb of Soweto in Gauteng, South Africa, located about 10 miles southwest of Johannesburg. In 2016, Skrillex and local rapper Riky Rick visited the Soweto Kliptown Youth Centre to hold a Bridges for Music workshop where both offered advice on how to operate in the industry and also discussed how belief in oneself, hard work and determination are necessary to achieve one’s dreams. The term “empyrean” by definition refers to “heaven,” and would not be a misnomer for the Soweto Kliptown Youth Centre, which serves as a safe haven for African youth, housing 40 kids and feeding more than 200 children a day from the community.[6]
Not even one full day after Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites 10th birthday, Skrillex has shared new music, offering a free full download of what is as close to a full-fledged solo release as he’s gotten this year,[6][2][7]
Kliptown Empyrean, was written and released within a single day[8][9][10][11][2]
a “main body of work” currently being finished "but in the mean time I just made this today and wanted to put it out."[8][12][9][10][13][11][5][4][3][2][1]
Kliptown Empyrean is Skrillex’s first solo song since 2019’s Show Tracks[8][4]
It's been a relatively quiet few years for Skrillex. While the producer released a series of collaborative singles in 2019 -- including the Boys Noize and Ty Dolla $ign collab "Midnight Hour," which earned them all a Grammy nomination for best dance recording[12]
Composed of a pitched up and chopped up vocal sample mixed in over spare, skittering percussion, the song is the first release of what looks to be a significant new project from the producer born Sonny Moore.[12]
.though he has nevertheless still been active in 2020, most notably guesting on Ty Dolla $ign’s single Ego Death alongside Kanye West and FKA Twigs.[8][9][10][13][11]
interview on Beats 1, stating, "The thing is with this album, every single piece of music or body of work I’ve put together in my life, I’ve always taken what I had then and there, and then it was run and gun." "With this one it’s the first time I’ve really been taking my time and been a little bit precious about a couple of these releases – but soon, man. I’ve been making some videos right now and making some content for some of the next records… I’ve never sat down and been completely tenacious about one of my releases."[8][5]
