Hi! A few months ago I started with a friend of mine a musical project that has particular similarities to the philosophy of free software. I would like to tell you about it in this post and I'd love to read your feedback.
With our band John Option[1] we published our first single My monkey some week ago. Of course the song is published under the terms of the Creative Commons License (CC-BY-SA) and it's completely produced only with free software: Ardour, Hydrogen, Jack, Qsynth, CALF, and many other great free audio software that we used under a GNU/Linux system.
But with the project of John Option we have done a little more in the direction of freedom. As for the free software the source code is accessible for the users, we decided to do the same thing for our music. So we published the single recording tracks of the song My monkey and the complete Ardour session. All this material is published in our official website[1] under the CC-BY-SA license so that anyone can use our tracks to produce a remix of our song or even a new song that have to be published under the same license.
I hope that you like our choice of freedom. If you feel like I'd love to read your feedback, because the encouragement of the people who listen to us and appreciate the philosophy of our project is a fuel for us to continue.
Ciao, Max-B
