Free! Music! Contest 2010
I was invited to take part in the jury of the Free! Music! Contest 2010 which has started today.
Here’s an extract of the announcing text:
To promote Creative Commons licensed music and the musicians behind it, Musikpiraten e.V. launches this year once again the Free! Music! Contest.
Until the end of July, musicians and bands who are releasing their music under a Creative Commons license, can register for the contest. Until August 22th there will be an additional remix-phase: the participating artists are invited to submit single stems or acapellas in addition to the individual songs. By submitting individual tracks or the submission of music videos, the chance to be added onto the sampler that will be a result of the contest, will be increased – if only just a little bit.A panel of music bloggers, artists and netlabel enthusiasts then decides who will be promoted on the Free! Music! Sampler 2010. It will be made available as a free download and also be pressed on CD. The highlight of the Free! Music! Contest will be on October second: a party at the Wiesbaden Kreativfabrik.
Please visit the Free! Music! Contest site itself for more details (e. g. how you can contribute or support).
Free! Music! Week! Dienstag: Tom Carter (March Rosetta / Menhirs of Er Grah)
Heute bin ich spät dran mit der Dienstagsempfehlung, na egal.
Diesmal geht es um Tom Carter, der unter mindestens zwei Projektnamen firmiert (das sind jedenfalls die beiden, die ich kenne), einmal als March Rosetta und in der etwas folkigeren Variante als Menhirs of Er Grah. Soweit ich weiß, lebt Tom in London und auch zeitweise wohl in Berlin.
Free! Music! Week Montag: The Ghost of 3.13
Da dachte ich, sollten wir dann doch nicht fehlen:
#37cc – eine Woche freie Musik
Sieben Tage, sieben Nächte, sieben Bands – 37cc, so lautet das Motto der ersten Free! Music! Week vom 8.3.2010 bis zum 14.3.2010. Das Konzept ist simpel: Jeder, der daran teilnehmen möchte, präsentiert jeden Tag eine Band, die ihre Musik unter einer Creative Commons-Lizenz veröffentlicht. Damit auch der Rest der Welt etwas davon mitbekommt, werden die Beitäge per Twitter und identi.ca mit dem Hashtag #37cc verbreitet und zusätzlich per Trackback oder Pingback auf musik.klarmachen-zum-aendern.de eingetragen.

CC-Music-Selection by Machtdose for Creative Commons at Free Music Archive
Independently from our last curation we were also invited lately for doing another music selection for Creative Commons itself. Which is again a big honour for us! You can find the selection there at the Free Music Archive. This is a portal which started last year and which has grown tremendously in this short time. You really can get lost there for hours and will find a bunch of excellent music there.
I’ve decided to give a little overview over the last few years and to present some of the tracks which are still one of my favourites. Some true classics I still listen to on a regular basis. Could be a good start if the whole CC-thing is new to you – but even if you’re involved you could still find some nice discoveries out of my list.
