FreeCulture.org Introduces The Free Music Project

A perfect storm is brewing, with FreeCulture.org launching The Free Music Project with help from Antenna Alliance and a project with One Laptop Per Child. 

The Free Music Project is dedicated to helping share, elevate and record free music from all cultures, genres and types.  Promoting collaboration and sharing, FreeCulture.org has created the site to be a library where users and creators like you can easily upload freely-licensed music from your own computers or direct people to music from other sources that house music with free licenses.  From the site, the songs can be streamed, downloaded and remixed into new creative works.

For the first big project, songs that are uploaded to the site will be eligible for inclusion on laptops to be sent to children around the world by One Laptop Per Child, a non-profit working to provide children and teachers in the developing world with low-cost, high-quality computers.  "Freely licensing
recordings allows artists to gain extremely valuable global exposure through projects such as OLPC," says Elizabeth Stark, founder of the Free Culture group at Harvard.

And further, Antenna Alliance will be working with FreeCulture.org to provide recording and licensing assistance to musicians interested in joining the Free Culture movement through this effort.

The Free Music Project needs your participation in order to continue to share with the world.  Check out their site to learn more.
