Public Domain Music Case Study
This project was set up to inspire content creators. Give them a chance to do what some of their icons (Eric Clapton, Ray Charles, Billie Holiday, etc.) have done: to fall in love with, reinvent and re-record amazing old songs (that now happen to be in Public Domain). Let’s re:Record!
CC Nederland
Based on a research project together with CopyClear we went through hundreds of amazing Public Domain songs. We hand-picked the following tracks + added some nice re-recorded versions by well-known musicians as a way to get that inspiration going. The next thing was to set up a website: www.rerec.co and invite musicians.
What did we promise the winners?
1. Re-record a beautiful, old, public domain song
2. Top 10 songs are getting pressed on vinyl and winners get 20 copies for free
3. Your song could get streamed in stores all over Europe
Here is a little video on Facebook of the vinyl pressing :-)
Public Domain Day!
If you think this is a great idea to promote Public Domain or CC0 recordings, go ahead and copy this contest idea.
