Create your own music - Dub FX

Dub FX, is a beatbox artist who street performs all over Europe. Watching him construct one of his multilayered compositions is impressive—he throws some pitch-shifted bass underneath ethereal treble highlights and solid hip-hop vocals:

Here are some more samples, 2, and just Mr Woodnote.

Chilirec: 300.000 songs in 5days

Chilirec is the latest Recorded to hit the internet. It is a Swedish "innovation" that lets you record a number of radio stations. I have tried the service for about 5days now and I have already recorded more than 300.000 songs. Even if the counter is wrong by a factor of x100, it is still amazing. All recorded song can be transfered to my desktop as MP3 files with a perfect id-tag.
If your still hesitate, have a look at this Demo video by Molly McDonnel over at Demogirl.com.

radio.blog.club

Radio.blog.club, if you haven’t heard of it, is a sort of YouTube for mp3’s. Users can join the community for free and upload songs. Like YouTube, there are literally thousands of songs uploaded in every conceivable genre/category.

Is it legal, you ask? It is if users upload non-copyrighted audio. Which is to say that it is legal in the same way YouTube is legal (it isn’t). Whether sites like this will eventually be shut down or will find a way to work together with the copyright holders is another story. For the time being it is there for all to use.

HoneySoul.com - Giving Soul Music A Voice

“Anything great always starts with love,” says soul-music aficionado Vonnie “Honey” Woods, whose means of expressing her sincere, simple passion for the music and its artists, has grown from a small mailing list about new music finds, to an internet show called Soul 2 Soul.

Example:

After 40 interviews in one year - which Honey prefers to call “conversations” (with soul luminaries such as Maurice White, Chaka Khan, India.Arie, Teena Marie, Ron Isley, Meshell Ndegeocello, Brian McKnight, Marcus Miller, Van Hunt, Amel Larrieux, Donell Jones, Dwele and Syleena Johnson), Honey shows no signs of slowing down.

The former banker and self-described “bridge … between good old soul music and those of us who love it,” is known for her command of “the art of conversation,” for making the music the star (”It’s never been about who I could talk to, but what I can reveal about music”) and her emotion-centered definition of soul music. “From R&B to hip hop to jazz to gospel to rock, if you can feel it, I call it soul.” Honey sums up her platform this way: “If you’re a soul artist making meaningful music, let’s talk.”

Yoko Kanno - Jazz & Funk & Anime soundtrack

How much do you know about Anime music? Probably as much as I did before I read this:
"Yoko Kanno is the mind behind some of the finest anime music out there. Lucky for me, in college I lived down the hall from an anime fan. As the horns from the intro theme song to the popular Cowboy Bepop blared out, I crept down the hall to investigate. After falling in love with a dynamic and unpredictable arrangement, I delve deeper into the songwriter. I found a breadth of vocal and melodic writing in a wide span of genres."
Below is a good sampling of her work:
The Seatbelts - Tank!
Yoko Kanno - Dreams In A Pie
Yoko Kanno - The Egg and You

Andy Mckee - Rylynn

If you have not heard Andy Mckee before, you will love to hear this. This tune is called Rylynn from his latest album Art of motion and is dedicated to a friend of his family who passed away suddenly.

One of so many comments: "I've been playing for 10 years or so. But never have i heard "real" beaufiful music like this one. It's magical. Words can't explain how Andy plays. his music comes within the soul, that is what music is all about, creating something so amazing like this. It's like a time travel, takes me to happy moments in life."

Here are some more tunes: Drifting, The Friend I never met, For My Father, Rylynn Live, Into the Ocean Live
And don't miss his homepage http://www.andymckee.com/

Here is another great song writer Billy Mclaughlin. First time I heard Helms place was a great moment. Especially after reading about his fight against dystonia, 2.

JamGlue

JamGlue is an online community, similar to SpliceMusic, where you can listen to or mix music from a library of tracks and other mixes.
A community built around derivative works begs the big question: copyright? Both JamGlue and Splice use the Creative Commons license. JamGlue has it broken down into five different licenses that always allow remixing, but also control commercial use and modification of the original license.

Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music

1982 was when it all began. Yes, 1982 was the pivotal year that electronic music crashed into prominence. Nothing happened earlier than that. And it was all due to the creation of a single, ingenius invention, one of the most celebrated collaberations of collaberaters in the standards-fractured world of electronic equipment: MIDI.

But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. To try and pinpoint the exact origins of electronic music, you first have to look at...

The Hype Machine

The Hype Machine crawls music blogs and lets you discover songs. The site likes to think it works like Google: crawling blogs for MP3 files, storing the files in their database as a cache and offering a full preview of the songs.
"The Hype Machine is probably the coolest music search engine. That's because you can actually listen to music and because there's a lot of underground music."

This is a site worth coming back to: Aurgasm

I scout out music you've never heard and deliver only the finest. Expect music curiously different, yet simply enjoyable.



I listened to about a dozen songs, and I liked 80% of them. Try Lhasa De Sela, Lucas Santtana,? Boozoo Bajou, and Roisin Murphy. Unfortunately, the MP3s seem to disappear after a while. If you explore the archives, most of the music files are no longer available.
