It is what happens when a computer tries its best to pick out the tunes by ear, writes down what it hears and demands that human performers try to play it. It combines audio separation and computer automated transcription technologies together with a twisted affection for American popular music icons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the process of creating the music, the original recordings are first separated into individual instruments and then transcribed by computer automated techniques. Arranging the music is an effort to parse the profusion of computer analysis data into playable form. The Happy Valley Band then plays the mercilessly over-specific computer transcriptions along to the sound of the lone extracted vocal track, offering a new accompaniment to a familiar voice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last month The Happy Valley Band squeezed into the studio at WFMU to deliver a set of unusual interpretations on popular music classics. Performing live on &lt;strong&gt;Kurt Gottschalk's Miniature Minotaurs Show&lt;/strong&gt;, the studio quickly became an obstacle course of musical equipment—saxophones, violin, accordion, pianos, guitars, basses and drums, topped off with a Farfisa and a small army of music stands. By the end of the set, the floor was hidden beneath a carpet of loose sheet music, casualties of frantic page turns as the band carefully staggered through a set of classic songs by Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline and James Brown rendered in new, unrecognizable forms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All software and sheet music will soon be available from the band's website. No classic recordings were harmed in the process. The Happy Valley Band is based out of New York, but you can catch them up north this summer at Electric Eclectics Festival.&lt;/p&gt;</summary></entry><entry><title>Tracks to Sync, May 2012</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://freemusicarchive.org/curator/Video/blog/Tracks_to_Sync_May_2012"/><link rel="enclosure" type="image/jpeg" href="http://freemusicarchive.org/file/images/entries/entry_image_file_-_entry_id-9886_-_20120515122851673.jpg"/><id>http://freemusicarchive.org/curator/Video/blog/Tracks_to_Sync_May_2012</id><updated>2012-05-15T12:35:15-04:00</updated><published>2012-05-15T11:40:00-04:00</published><author><name>Jason Sigal</name><uri>http://freemusicarchive.org/member/jason</uri></author><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tracks to Sync&lt;/strong&gt; is a monthly mix of music curated with the online video producer in mind.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As more and more people turn to video in the digital era, they are faced with the music licensing hurdles that have hindered many a film. At the same time, the increase in video production offers new opportunities for multimedia collaboration. This series aims to unite producers with musicians who have music to share for these purposes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The tracks is this mix are available under &lt;a title=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/about&quot; href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/about&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Creative Commons licenses&lt;/a&gt; that allow for &quot;derivative works,&quot; like a video (some CC licenses specify &quot;NoDerivatives&quot;), while retaining the parts of copyright that the rightsholders wish to keep. Creative Commons offers a few custom license combinations, and each is hyperlinked to a human-readable license + legal code, i.e. &lt;a title=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/&quot; href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike&lt;/a&gt;, aka &quot;&lt;a title=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/&quot; href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;BY-NC-SA&lt;/a&gt;&quot;. You can read more about the various CC combos &lt;a title=&quot;http://creativecommons.org&quot; href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and check out FMA's &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/help#usage&quot; href=&quot;/help#usage&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HELP&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/faq&quot; href=&quot;/faq&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;FAQ&lt;/a&gt; for more resources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before using any Creative Commons music for a project, you need to make sure you follow the track's license in order to avoid copyright infringement. If you're not sure whether your use is pre-cleared by a particular license, it's always a good idea to reach out to the artist directly.

&lt;p&gt;We always love to hear about collaborations inspired by FMA music, so if you use one of these tracks, please post a link to the track page as well as to our &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.mirocommunity.org/&quot; href=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.mirocommunity.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Video Showcase&lt;/a&gt;.

Unfortunately Noise Problems couldnt attend but to celebrate and spread the good word we posted last year gigs from Theme of Laura and Les Louise Mitchels that we managed to record amidst all the DIY madness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In their own speak Dans l´cul fest &quot;is a DIY (do it yourself) and non benefit fest. The only purpose of this fest is to share and meet together in happiness with concerts, infostands, workshops, eat &amp;amp; cafe and whatever. All money done are only to cover general costs as electricity water, food, drinks, materials and cover a maximum gazcosts for the participants (bands, people giving workshops)...&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There were good vibes and good music, good food and good movies!!! It was awesome and indeed happiness was ever present. For the this years edition line-up check out the new &lt;a href=&quot;http://danslculdanku.tumblr.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;site&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;/music/Theme_of_Laura/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Theme of Laura&lt;/a&gt; is screaming emo-punk from Strasbourg. &lt;a href=&quot;/music/Les_Louise_Mitchels/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Les Louise Mitchels&lt;/a&gt; are free-rock jazz-punk from Paris. Oh la la! Dans l´cul danku!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I don't care about what the prying eyes can see, i'll keep on walking without pants in the middle of this school of fish that never stop screaming; keep on dancing to not die in a life where death has more place than the laughter of fools. I'll not cry anymore and my hatred torn of my veins, thrown to the sheep, i prefer to live too much until a soon death, rather than die slowly on my shit. One more or less, you can tell about me what you want, soppy, silly, crazy, in the twisted right way or not, I would stay at attention under the banner of fools, flag I will burn before to run into the storm.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

Based in Barcelona, Primavera brings artists from all over the world, with an ear that is uniquely attuned to sounds from Spain's underground. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's a mix featuring music by 32 of the artists who are scheduled to perform at this year's &lt;strong&gt;Primavera Sound&lt;/strong&gt; festival, May thru June 3rd. 2012 will be the fourth year in a row that &lt;a href=&quot;http://wfmu.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WFMU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; broadcasts live from the festival, and we're looking forward to archiving more approved Primavera Sound performances &lt;a href=&quot;/curator/Primavera_Sound/&quot;&gt;here on the Free Music Archive&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;California's &lt;strong&gt;Raleigh Moncrief&lt;/strong&gt; grew up composing music on &lt;a title=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracker_(music_software)&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracker_(music_software)&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;tracker software&lt;/a&gt;, transcribing guitar parts into digital sequence in the pre-mp3 era of the Commodore 64. Members of the tracker scene were music filesharing pioneers, and Raleigh naturally took to the web to release the &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Raleigh_Moncrief/Combed_Over_Chrome_EP/&quot; href=&quot;/music/Raleigh_Moncrief/Combed_Over_Chrome_EP/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Combed Over Chrome EP&lt;/a&gt; via his own &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/label/Obstructive_Vibrations/&quot; href=&quot;/label/Obstructive_Vibrations/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Obstructive Vibrations netlabel&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OV also helped introduce us to some of the many talented musicians who run in Moncrief's Sacramento circle like &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Hexlove/&quot; href=&quot;/music/Hexlove/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Hexlove&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Appetite/&quot; href=&quot;/music/Appetite/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Appetite&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/pregnant&quot; href=&quot;/music/pregnant&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Pregnant&lt;/a&gt;. Alongside &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/death_grips&quot; href=&quot;/music/death_grips&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Death Grips&lt;/a&gt;, Moncrief seems to be leading the local beat-oriented scene, but he is a truly eclectic collaborator—playing with the likes of &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/zach_hill&quot; href=&quot;/music/zach_hill&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Zach Hill&lt;/a&gt; (Hella), The Advantage, and Marnie Stern—and a producer of albums by &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/ganglians&quot; href=&quot;/music/ganglians&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Ganglians&lt;/a&gt; and 'sound design' for &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/dirty_projectors&quot; href=&quot;/music/dirty_projectors&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Dirty Projectors&lt;/a&gt;' Bitte Orca.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The list of musical accomplishments could go on and on, but Youch used his position to advocate for causes he believed in. He organized the Free Tibet concert and more recently supported the Occupy Wall Street movement. He was not only a video director and filmmaker—including a 2008 documentary on rising high school basketball stars centered around Harlem’s legendary Rucker Park—but a supporter of worldwide independent film. In 2008 he founded Oscilloscope Laboratories, releasing fifty films so far including Exit Through The Gift Shop, documentaries on Scott Walker, Youssou N'Dour, and William S. Burroughs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the causes Adam Yauch fought for was your right to copy. The Beastie Boys began working with sample-based music before the Biz Markie lawsuit sparked the development of a sample-clearing industry. Although many of the samples on Paul's Boutique were cleared at the time at an expense of $300,000, if it were produced under today's copyright regime, some of those individual samples would have run a hefty $3-mil and the 2.5x platinum record would have lost $20 million dollars. In other words, it's not possible to make a record like that any more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Beastie Boys were early advocates for Creative Commons, and released today's featured track, &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Now Get Busy&lt;/strong&gt;,&quot; under the NonCommercial Sampling Plus license. The license was developed by Creative Commons in collaboration with Negativland, and though it was &lt;a href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/28874&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;recently retired&lt;/a&gt;, it was a truly pioneering effort.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Now Get Busy&quot; kicked off 2004's Wired Magazine Creative Commons compilation &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Wired_Magazine/The_WIRED_CD_Rip_Sample_Mash_Share/&quot; href=&quot;/music/Wired_Magazine/The_WIRED_CD_Rip_Sample_Mash_Share/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The WIRED CD: Rip, Sample, Mash, Share&lt;/a&gt; alongside David Byrne, Chuck D, Spoon, Gilberto Gil, Le Tigre and many more. Less than two years after the launch of CC's first licensing suite, this was a high profile introduction to the movement, and the Beastie Boys were featured on the magazine's cover as digital music pioneers. In an &lt;a title=&quot;www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.11/beastie.html?pg=2&amp;amp;topic=beastie&amp;amp;topic_set=&quot; href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.11/beastie.html?pg=2&amp;amp;topic=beastie&amp;amp;topic_set=&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;interview&lt;/a&gt; with Eric Steuer, the Beastie Boys discuss why they were quick to embrace Internet radio and promotional mp3 downloads via their Grand Royal label, and Yauch shares his perspective on sampling as an art form:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;It's totally context...because not every sample is a huge chunk of a song. We might take a tiny little insignificant sound from a record and then slow it way down and put it deep in the mix with, like, 30 other sounds on top of it. It's not even a recognizable sample at that point. Which is a lot different than taking a huge, obvious piece from some hit song that everyone knows and saying whatever you want to on top of that loop. An example that's often brought up in court when we get sued over sampling is a Biz Markie track where he more or less used a whole Gilbert O'Sullivan song. Because it was such an obvious sample, it's the example lawyers use when trying to prove that sampling is stealing. And that's really frustrating to us as artists who sample, because sampling can be a totally different thing than that.&quot; &lt;/em&gt;(&lt;a title=&quot;http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.11/beastie.html?pg=2&amp;amp;topic=beastie&amp;amp;topic_set=&quot; href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.11/beastie.html?pg=2&amp;amp;topic=beastie&amp;amp;topic_set=&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When Emma wrote the lyrics to her first song, &quot;Une Glace au Citron&quot; (&quot;A Lemon Ice&quot;), she gave the page to her dad and hummed the tune for him. He played it on the guitar for her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Within a few weeks, they put together more songs, and a &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Miss_Emma/Une_Glass_au_Citron/&quot; href=&quot;/music/Miss_Emma/Une_Glass_au_Citron/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;full-length album&lt;/a&gt;.

It's available on his new album &lt;strong&gt;Chainsaw&lt;/strong&gt;, released last week by &lt;a title=&quot;http://megazinemagazine.com/iss.3/chainsaw/&quot; href=&quot;http://megazinemagazine.com/iss.3/chainsaw/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Megazine Magazine&lt;/a&gt;, where you can also grab an autographed Michael Stasis poster.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Michael Stasis has somewhat of a cult following thanks to his limited-run cassette releases dating back to the early part of the last decade. I first heard him through Nadav of Phoning It In, who knew I'd dig the home-recorded psychedlic folk-pop. His music can be hard to track down, but in 2009 I was lucky to find a few copies of his self-titled cassette on Natural Resources behind the counter at Other Music, and we offer a couple tracks from Michael Stasis' cassette releases on the FMA &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/michael_stasis&quot; href=&quot;/member/post/Natural%20Resources&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last year, Michael Stasis compiled a bunch of his older lo-fi experimental recordings into a freely downloadable collection entitled &lt;a title=&quot;http://michaelstasis.bandcamp.com/album/rip-2003-2009&quot; href=&quot;http://michaelstasis.bandcamp.com/album/rip-2003-2009&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;RIP (2003-2009)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He's since moved to Oakland (from Philly/NY) and upped the fi to mid- for a slew of fantastic releases like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;http://michaelstasis.bandcamp.com/album/innernet-blues&quot; href=&quot;http://michaelstasis.bandcamp.com/album/innernet-blues&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Innernet Blues&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;a title=&quot;http://michaelstasis.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-shadow-of-the-dairy-queen&quot; href=&quot;http://michaelstasis.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-shadow-of-the-dairy-queen&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the Shadow of the Dairy Queen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</summary></entry><entry><title>MP3 of the Day: Ed Schrader's Music Beat, &quot;My Mind Is Broken By The Sound&quot; (Live @WFMU)</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://freemusicarchive.org/curator/FMA/blog/MP3_of_the_Day_Ed_Schraders_Music_Beat"/><id>http://freemusicarchive.org/curator/FMA/blog/MP3_of_the_Day_Ed_Schraders_Music_Beat</id><updated>2012-05-05T05:38:37-04:00</updated><published>2012-05-01T12:00:00-04:00</published><author><name>Jason Sigal</name><uri>http://freemusicarchive.org/member/jason</uri></author><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/JI/images_artists_Ed_Schraders_Music_Beat.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;290&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; /&gt;Every time I reach for a jelly bean, &quot;&lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ed_Schraders_Music_Beat/Live_at_WFMU_on_Talks_Cheap_Aug_25th_2011/Ed_Shraders_Music_Beat_-_10_-_I_Cant_Stop_Eating_Sugar&quot; href=&quot;/music/Ed_Schraders_Music_Beat/Live_at_WFMU_on_Talks_Cheap_Aug_25th_2011/Ed_Shraders_Music_Beat_-_10_-_I_Cant_Stop_Eating_Sugar&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;I Can't Stop Eating Sugar&lt;/a&gt;&quot; by &lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ed_Schraders_Music_Beat/&quot; href=&quot;/music/Ed_Schraders_Music_Beat/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ed Schrader's Music Beat&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; pops into my head: &quot;When you can't stop doing something / Brother you must stop yourself.&quot; And every time my mind is broken by the sound, &quot;&lt;a title=&quot;http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ed_Schraders_Music_Beat/Live_at_WFMU_on_Talks_Cheap_Aug_25th_2011/Ed_Shraders_Music_Beat_-_04_-_My_Mind_Is_Broken_By_The_Sound&quot; href=&quot;/music/Ed_Schraders_Music_Beat/Live_at_WFMU_on_Talks_Cheap_Aug_25th_2011/Ed_Shraders_Music_Beat_-_04_-_My_Mind_Is_Broken_By_The_Sound&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;My Mind is Broken By the Sound&lt;/a&gt;&quot; comes to mind.&lt;/p&gt;

He is also the voice of David Bowie trying his hand at standup comedy. Ed Schrader's  music began with his stories to be told, a floor tom, a little bit of reverb on the vocals, and a three-year tour of the USA. Joined by bassist Devlin Rice (Nuclear Power Pants), Ed Schrader's Music Beat brings to mind minimalist Swans songs stripped to their essence with wit, concision, and a message.&lt;/p&gt;

Cooley was known as the &quot;King of Western Swing&quot; in his heyday, but due to a gruesome incident in his private life, he is often viewed these days more as &lt;strong&gt;the Sid Vicious of Western Swing&lt;/strong&gt;. His is a model lesson in how a brilliant musical legacy can be overshadowed by unsavory personal problems.

The FMA is recommended for a $75,000 grant to support the Re:Mix Media project.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Re:Mix Media&lt;/strong&gt; is a series of three programs planned by the Free Music Archive to engage audiences in the appreciation, discussion, and creation of music and arts in the digital environment. Three programs will use the FMA's interactive platform to create multimedia art and provide access to those art works: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Re:imagine&lt;/em&gt; is a series of themed multimedia contests and workshops to encourage hands-on engagement through the creation of new works inspired by Creative Commons and the public domain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tracks to Sync&lt;/em&gt; is a monthly mix of music curated with the online video producer in mind. The blog series encourages healthy collaboration between media producers and artists through access to alternatively licensed music and educational resources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;State of The Arts&lt;/em&gt; is a monthly program that intersects radio, blogs and live discussion to address applications of creativity involving music in the contemporary digital setting.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;The FMA is an interactive music library that by its very nature encourages collaboration. The Re:Mix Media Project will help us take these interactions to the next level through programming that harnesses the potential of the digital era. We are honored to receive the NEA's recommendation in the Arts in Media category, and look forward to working with you to Re:Mix Media!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/music/Isidore_Soucy/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Isidore Soucy&lt;/a&gt;, a fiddler and composer, was a fixture in traditional Québécois folk music of the early to mid-20th century. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This track, &quot;which is similar to a square-dance, except without calls&quot; might inevitably be compared to American folk fiddle music, but its relatively smooth and polished style are rooted in European influence, particularly in the piano accompaniment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Originally recorded in the 1920s, &lt;a href=&quot;/music/Isidore_Soucy/~/Quadrille_Laurier_6me_Partie&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Quadrille Laurier (6ème Partie)&quot;&lt;/a&gt; was released as a 78 and fortunately for us it is now available digitally. &lt;/p&gt;
