An Invitation to Join the Opsound Project

[Sal Randolph <stfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 an=
d
real-world microlabels. All material for the sound pool will be released
under a Creative Commons license (the "Attribution-ShareAlike license "), a
copyleft license in the spirit of open source software license which allows
for all kinds of copying, remixing, 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, monologue=
s
& dialogues, spoken texts, 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 a=
n
ongoing basis. You are, however, encouraged to enter your material as soon
as is conveniently possible.

HOW TO ENTER: Please visit the Opsound site at http://www.opsound.org, read
