Artist Bio (Short)
The Free Lantern is a multi-genre music project made on Linux and rooted in open-source values. It merges electronic depth with human storytelling to explore creativity that’s “free by design.”
Artist Bio (Long)
The Free Lantern began as an experiment: can music be created the way open-source software is—collaboratively, transparently, without limits? Drawing from synthwave, deep house, EBM, folk, country, metal, and hip-hop, the project celebrates openness over gatekeeping and community over corporations. The debut album Free by Design pays tribute to the pioneers of free software and the millions of contributors whose code runs everything from phones to supercomputers. Every track is a lantern—a spark carried forward by the community. The second album, Our Story, takes a softer turn — songs from the source within, released one every last Friday of the month.
