Hi List,
Wuter Stomp posted a suggestion in the wiki to use
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sound/list as a possible source
of Free music.
And indeed, there is a large selection of suitably licensed music
available there. Now comes the task of selecting something ...
The problem is that the quality is quite low on many of these (most
actually). The recording quality is often basic and even then the
musical level may be only semi-pro (though my ear is very untrained).
However, there might be some gems in there and we only need one or two.
Another problem with that list is that it contains almost exclusively
classical music, and we might want a bit more variety. I would think a
few short pieces, each under a meg, from 3-4 different genres would be
good.
Good candidates from the Wikipedia list seem to be Holst's Jupiter or
Uranus. Cutting out one of the more lively segments of either of these
would make for an engaging piece. Venus is too tranquil for our purpose
and I'm worried about including 'Mars' simply because the 'God of war'
is not very compatible with the spirit of Ubuntu.
Also try:
CantateDomino.ogg
CeMoysDeMay.ogg
Chromatic_Fuge_(Bach_BWV_930).ogg
Please have a listen to some of that if you have some time and esp. if
you know stuff about music (which I don't)
- Henrik
