Furthermore Jester held many talks and lectures on the netlabel-biz and legal questions concerning copyright, music licensing and Creative Commons, for example at the Popakademie Mannheim, the Zukunftsmusik music-fair in Berlin, radio-programmes like Deutschlandradio Kultur, various netaudio festivals (for example Netaudioberlin 2007 and 2009, Cologne Commons 2009) and
some other occasions.

We wonder if his demoscene skills helped him for his new job ? It did not help him in his daytime job but for the netlabel. A lot of "scene-spirit" goes into running a netlabel, there's a lot of the good old creative atmosphere there that made the demoscene so exciting Jester said.

He released several CD-R albums as Oddjob. With iD.EOLOGY he have released the album "Melonious Thonk" as well as some tracks on label-compilations. An overview of his latest released CDs you could find at Bjrn Lynne site (another great musician of the past btw) like Oddeology and Heautoscope, sadly both sold out.Heautcope        and Oddeology

For his ambient music released under the Oddjob handle on iD.EOLOGY he fell back upon OctaMED hooked up to a MIDI interface and some hardware gear to create this music. "... I know this is a really unorthodox method of working with MIDI but I feel that I do get along with it very well..." Jester said. We asked him if he is missing the old times composing music as 4 channel mods only, but he did not miss it really. It was a cool and inspiring time but life does go on, bringing on a lot of new exciting experiences and challenges as Jester says.

Currently he is working hard on out ways for Creative Commons musicians to earn money with their music. With iD.EOLOGY he already license a good deal of music for commercial purposes such as the use in films, videogames and such. But there's a far bigger commercial potential in CC music, the only thing missing right now is a powerful and effective infrastructure to make it unfold. This, in particular, what he is working on at the moment.
