In recent years, the cyberspace had led to significant evolution of information transmission. Indie musician upload their music to StreetVoice and Youtube to display themselves. They also keep good connections with other musicians and fans through Social Network. Consequently, network has been one of the most important environment for musician to create. Whether network is well creativity space for indie musician involves conflicts between its enhancing and inhibiting factors. We use Csikszentmihalyi¡¦s three-pronged systems model and four major regulators:Law, Norms, Market, Architecture in the book of ¡§Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace¡¨ by Lawrence Lessig as the study framework. This research takes qualitative approach with twelve interviewees. All of them are indie musician. Following the data analysing, the results present the life of creativity can been divided into three stage: copy, shadow and create. When people go through the three stages, their knowledge of music will become more rich. Musician can write or sing a song to express what they want and who they are. The results of this analysing, network could bring several enhancing factors Including promotion, grouping, sharing, encouragement and expanding fans. According to the analysis observed that network architecture isn¡¦t robust now. Indie musicians are afraid that law can¡¦t protect their copyright of music on network. In the part of norms, indie musicians want all of their musics on network are perfect. Furthermore, indie musicians don't believe that network could made enough profit to cover their basic expenses.

Partindo da autonomeação de críticos e fãs de rock, que assumem suas práticas como pertencentes ao gênero indie rock, o trabalho aborda os processos de rotulação do mundo da música como um complexo processo de comunicação que serve de base para a partilha de experiências musicais, valores ideológicos, lógicas comerciais e partilhas sociais presentes na produção, no consumo e na circulação dos produtos midiáticos. Assim, procura-se observar como o rótulo indie rock configura tensões, disputas e negociações que envolvem as inter-relações entre autonomia criativa e estratégias de mercado dentro da indústria da música. Na busca de um entendimento do processo de comunicação da música, a pesquisa lança mão de estudos sobre música de autores como Simon Frith (1996, 2001), Franco Fabbri (1981, 1996, 2001, 2004), David Hesmondhalgh (1999), Matthew Bannister (2006), Jeder Janotti Júnior (2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010), Felipe Trotta (2005, 2008, 2010), Simone Pereira de Sá (2004, 2006, 2009), Michael Herschmann (2005, 2007, 2010), João Freire Filho (2006, 2007), no sentido de construir uma trajetória histórica, ideológica e social das classificações das expressões musicais, para que possamos compreender por que uma determinada comunidade de conhecimento identifica a experiência do indie rock com a ideia de gênero. Questões como circular em selos independentes, estar fora de programas de televisão, usar a internet como forma de circulação, não fazer parte do mainstream, gravações com a poética de home studio, uso de muitas guitarras, de vocais suaves, de letras mais existencialistas, do hibridismo musical, do minimalismo, das distorções, da autonomia criativa, da originalidade são algumas marcas que fazem com que esta comunidade perceba e identifique determinadas sonoridades como indie rock e o associe à ideia de gênero. Entretanto, não nos importa nesta pesquisa a perspectiva classificatória do gênero, e, sim, como se dão as classificações para a funcionalidade do processo de comunicação da música. Meu objetivo é a compreensão desta experiência da ideia do que é indie rock para uma comunidade de conhecimento formada por músicos, produtores, críticos e consumidores. / Salvador
