Better World Through Collaboration

Creative Commons licensing has opened a new world for collaboration. Most artists with works in the Free Music Archive share their copyrighted work with some rights reserved. Depending on the chosen license for the work, this often allows others to incorporate the work into something new without the use of lawyers and other middle men.
An avenue of collaboration that the Free Music Archive has actively promoted is the reuse of recordings in film and video. The FMA Music for Video selections offer filmmakers a sampling of the variety of music available for reuse. The FMA also has a partnership with Vimeo, the video host, helping filmmakers find just the right music to fit the setting of the film.
The collaborative music+video results have been remarkable around the world. In fact, in some cases this collaboration even benefits the world. Nonprofit organizations, not typically known for having large promotional budgets, can benefit greatly by re-purposing Creative Commons recordings licensed for reuse.
One FMA success story is the union of a recording by American artist Aaron Ximm with a public service message for sustainability organization Redress. Ximm's track is used in a promo video for the EcoChic Design Award.
Redress is a Hong Kong based NGO with a mission to promote environmental sustainability in Asia's fashion industry by reducing textile waste, pollution, water and energy consumption. We achieve this via educational sustainable fashion shows, exhibitions, competitions, seminars, research and media outreach. Our unique profile allows us to collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders. We work with multiple fashion designers, textile and garment manufacturers, retailers, schools and universities, multilateral organizations, governments, NGOs, financial institutions and media organizations.
The EcoChic Design Award is a sustainable fashion design competition inspiring emerging fashion designers and students to create mainstream clothing with minimal textile waste. Apply now.

SHORTS FOR RADIO

Listen: SHORTS FOR RADIO
(We recommend listening to this program during the night)
“Old disembodied voices from another world without time, no space, no language.”
Dedicated to archive.org everything we do once done leaves belong only time knows no copy rights.
“Short for radio” is an experimental radio series which has a duration of 12 minutes is the result of research based on sound files of the 20′ to 60′ from around the world are on the archive.org in the public domain.
“Shorts for radio” is born in late 2011 with the idea of creating a small fragment virtual radio, a piece of experimental radio and sound bites to collect texts that at some point been transmitted from a media such as radio or television. Through these sound bites seek to recreate a new discourse, a play on words, a transformation of language, a gino between composition and radio-style sound, a sigh radio between a virtual world where radio turmoil mutates and languages and meanings come to different senses.
Radio is a medium that takes the form of what it represents, a voice, a sound behind a black curtain, a solitude in the middle of the night, a gaze without eyes. Something that is beyond our reach, but it’s there. Understand something beyond the language of words, a language that extends through the sounds.
Each program contains a description of the files used, all additional sounds were performed and produced entirely by Sol Rezza.
Since this work was conceived from licensed files Public Domain This work is licensed under the same license.

Lá Eles - Infinito (E.P)

Infinito...
Não há palavra melhor para caracterizar este disco. Uma odisséia que não finda, onde se pode navegar nos ventos calmos do universo musical, em qualquer direção, a qualquer momento.
Nossos sentidos captam essa expressão logo em um primeiro ato, onde a música brasileira regional se une a elementos mundiais, passando por diversas nuances até chegar a ... ou melhor, até recomeçar.
Isso é "Infinito", primeiro disco oficial do Lá Eles, composto por Beto Wilson, Ivanzinho e Felipe Pomar, que transcende, experimenta, incorpora, inova,cria...
Este disco prova que, na música não há limites. Não tem início e nem terá fim.

The New Happy Birthday Song Contest

The Free Music Archive wants to wish Creative Commons a Happy Birthday with a song. But there's a problem. Although "Happy Birthday To You" is the most recognized song in the English language and its origins can be traced back to 1893, it remains under copyright protection in the United States until 2030. It can cost independent filmmakers $10,000 to clear the song for their films, and this is a major stumbling block hindering the creation of new works of art.
