About The Free Lantern

The Free Lantern is a musical exploration of openness—produced on Linux, inspired by open-source culture, and unbound by genre. From synthwave and deep house to EBM, folk, metal, hip-hop and nerdcore, each track follows the same principle as good code: build together, share freely, improve in public.

Why a Lantern?

A lantern is shared light. It symbolizes guidance, community, and collaboration. Creativity spreads not by hiding ideas but by letting others carry the flame forward.
