About
If you record and produce your own music then you know it is usually a series of separate audio tracks blended together. My inspiration came from getting such different results when mixing my own music tracks together and leaving some parts out of the mix. I wondered what would happen if I put all the tracks on my web site and invite others to mix it their own way.
First launched as part of my private blog in 2006 The Open Source Music Project was my effort to try that “new concept” out on the Internet. Little did I know that other Internet visionaries had been a step ahead of me. A web site called Jamglue publicly launched in December 2006, and according to their “about us” page the community has grown to over one million registered users. It’s not the first time I’ve made it to the gangplank as the ship sailed – but I’m glad to see I had a vision that is shared.
When my 16 year old daughter pointed out recently that Jamglue is a site most of her friends are “into”, I took her good advice, found the site, registered as user tomanthonydotcom and started uploading the tracks you find here. Some of them are not so great – but a few really shine. You may download anything here and use it under the Creative Commons Attribution License. Or you may enjoy signing up as a user of Jamglue and mixing the tracks with tools available there. I have also launched a podcast in iTunes of the finished mixes.
Please subscribe and comment on iTunes.
The ultimate reward for me is having any of my stuff used elsewhere – especially commercially. Please let me know if you post anything using audio from my tracks – I would love to link to it from here! Good luck and bless you.
