Crowdsourced Music: Remix the Mashup
With its feet firmly planted in the worlds of sample-based music and
global remix culture, crowdsourced music is taking our shared
fascination with the re-working and re-interpretation of sounds, songs,
and sources to an entirely new level of creative collaboration. New,
community-based social networking music sites not only allow musicians
to make finished songs available to be shared, sold, and remixed - but
they also allow musicians to participate in a collaborative process of
writing, selling, and distributing their music. What is this sound of
this meta-mashup?
This is a question that we will be exploring in the music section of the Assignment Zero project, which is a huge experiment in using crowdsourced journalism to cover many different aspects of the crowdsourcing movement.
I'm editing AZ's music coverage and I am looking for contributors who would be interested in writing, research, and conducting interviews.
We'll be looking at some fascinating music sites including:
http://amiestreet.com
http://rapspace.tv
http://indabamusic.com
http://ccmixter.org/
http://www.splicemusic.com/
http://www.jamglue.com/
http://sellaband.com
No expertise needed - if you're into crowdsourcing and music, you should check it out. Head on over to http://zero.newassignment.net/topic/crowdsourced_music - to find out more and get involved.
