Here’s another cool band releasing their music under Creative Commons licenses.
The Kyoto Connection is based in Argentina and released their sixth album “No Headphones Required” in July 2010. It contains eleven songs in 80s style synthpop. Each of their albums is available under CC-BY-NC-ND from the Internet Archive which hosts a lot of CC licensed music. The album is pretty awesome. You should check it out. I really can’t stop listening to it.
Here are my two favorite tracks:
- The Kyoto Connection – Glorious Love Song

- The Kyoto Connection – H.E.A.T.

All albums can be downloaded from the band’s website.

The German Musikpiraten e. V. (music pirates registered association) started the Free! Music! Contest 2010. The aim is to promote artists who publish their music under Creative Commons licences. One song per artist can be registered until the end of July. Participants can choose to upload additional stems of their songs which may be used by other participants in the remix-phase ending August 22nd.
Patron of the contest is the author Cory Doctorow who published several bestseller books under Creative Commons licences.
The result of the contest will be a sampler which will be available on CD and as free download. A concert is scheduled for October 2nd at Wiesbaden Kreativfabrik including performances of selected participants and an exclusive—yet so far unnamed—headliner.
Guess I’ll have to decide which track to submit …

Nach etwas längerer Abwesenheit gibt es endlich wieder etwas Neues von mir. Das zweite Lorino Klavierstück ist fertig und kommt wie auch das erste mit PDF Klaviernoten und Lilypond-Quelltext. Dieses Mal habe ich deutlich mehr Mühe in die Qualität der Aufnahme investiert, was sich durchaus gelohnt hat. Hört rein, spielt selbst. Viel Spaß damit. Read the rest of this entry »

Das erste Stück von Lorino ist fertig. Wie bereits erwähnt handelt es sich dabei um ein Klavierstück.
Ein Teil der Melodie enstand bereits im Januar, als ich in einer recht depressiven Stimmung eine ganze Zeit lang auf meinem Ion herumgeklimpert habe. Read the rest of this entry »
