music creation, Indaba Music (http://www.IndabaMusic.com) is a place
for musicians to find one another, create and remix music, and
showcase their work. The company has launched an extensive library of
over 8,000 audio clips licensed under Creative Commons, a flexible set
of permissions that encourage content to be shared, remixed and
repurposed by creators. Under these licenses, Indaba Music's global
community of more than 300,000 musicians will have access to a wide
collection of loops and samples to remix, share, and use
commercially.
Accessible from both a dynamic, searchable database (http://
www.indabamusic.com/clips) as well as within the company's innovative
web-based digital audio workstation, musicians will be able to
download the clips or add them directly to online recording sessions.
The clips library opens up a vast creative resource, and represents an
important step in the company's mission towards democratizing music
creation.
"Our goal is to provide a flexible, comprehensive set of tools that
musicians of every level can pick and choose from to fit their
creative needs," says Co-CEO and Co-Founder, Dan Zaccagnino. "With our
collaborative session platform, our digital audio workstation, and now
with the launch of our clips library, musicians have an increasingly
powerful suite of tools to support their creative processes."
To introduce its community to the clips library, Indaba Music has
partnered with Filter Magazine for a unique online contest,
challenging musicians to use a minimum of two clips as the foundation
of an original song. The grand prize winner of the original song
challenge, as determined by Filter Magazine, will be profiled in an
upcoming issue, and the song will be featured in the issue's monthly
digital sampler. The is just the latest in a series of remix contests
featuring artists such as The Roots, Mariah Carey, Yo-Yo Ma, John
Legend, Crystal Method, Alkaline Trio, and more. For more information,
