===== The OLPC project releases 10GB of sound samples By Forrest Cook July 2, 2008 The One Laptop Per Child project recently released a large collection of sound samples: [...] This huge collection of new and original samples have been donated to Dr. Richard Boulanger @ cSounds.com specifically to support the OLPC developers, students, XO users, and computer and electronic musicians everywhere. They are FREE and are offered under a CC-BY license for downloading and use in your teaching, your demos, your research, your music, your remixes, your songs, your games, your videos, your slideshows, your websites, and your XO activities. [...] One can imagine a number of possible uses for such a large library of sounds. Adding audio to games is an obvious use for the sounds. One could create accessibility applications for the visually impaired. In keeping with the OLPC theme, a teacher could sort through the sounds and use them for educating children about animals, musical instruments and other things that they may not experience in daily life. On the artistic side, the samples could be put to good use making audio tracks and movies. With the appropriate sample playing software, new and interesting musical instruments could be created. If your software project has a need for some open-licensed audio clips, the OLPC collection is a good source. Producing a large collection of sounds such as this would involve many hours of work. ===== -- Soh Kam Yung my Google Reader Shared links: (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/16851815156817689753) my Google Reader Shared SFAS links: (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/16851815156817689753/label/sfas) _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
