Hello all, I've been meaning to post this invitation to the list (and I'd be happy to answer any questions etc. about the project):
AN OPEN CALL TO SOUND ARTISTS & MUSICIANS Musicians and sound artists of all kinds are invited to join the Opsound project. Opsound is a record label using an open source, copyleft model, an experiment in practical gift economics, a laboratory for new ways of releasing music. In its first phase of operation, Opsound is gathering material for an open sound pool which will be drawn on for the creation of a series of online and real-world microlabels. All material for the sound pool will be released under a Creative Commons license (the "Attribution-ShareAlike license" ), a copyleft license similar in spirit to open source software licenses which allows for all kinds of copying, remixing, and use, and reuse while retaining an attribution to the original artist. Anyone is encouraged to contribute sound files to the open sound pool, including field recordings, ambiences, incomplete improvisations, monologues & dialogues, unfinished experiments, detached soundtracks, vocal solos, strange noises, bedroom laptop, microsound, generative, glitch dub, idm, minimal techno, blip hop, hip hop, turntablist, downtempo, uptempo, reggae, ragga, raga, roots, breakbeat, basement punk, garage band, indy, shoegazer, psychedelia, noise, song, be-bop, free jazz, modern composition, avant-anything, etc. Sound files can be complete pieces of music, or elements intended be combined into something new. DEADLINE: There is currently no deadline, and entries will be accepted on an ongoing basis. You are, however, encouraged to enter your material as soon as is conveniently possible. HOW TO ENTER: Please read the guidelines and faq , and then use the entry form at http://www.opsound.org ++++++++++++++++++++++ Opsound 648 Broadway Suite 1005 New York, NY 10012 212-776-1156 http://www.opsound.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++++++++++++++++++++++ On 3/28/03 1:12 PM, "Michael Stutz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here are the labels I know about: > > Opsound > http://opsound.org/opsound.html >
