Music 2.0 via Mix2r.fm

Music 2.0 is a new way of making music. Like the early beta in software, where users can participate long before the gold copy comes out, Music 2.0 is about getting people involved in the creation process. Mix2r.com is a platform that gives artists the ability to allow that collaboration and each participant can retain full control over their own licenses of their content.

I am involved in a project on Mix2r.com that requires some input. If you are a musician, please consider this one.

My alternative band 6th Avenue Nightmare just posted a song called 16 Bottles on Mix2r.fm. The URL to listen or download it for free is here http://www.mix2r.com/node/821.

Here is what we want. If you are a guitarist or play any other instrument that you think might sound good on this, down load this song, then use your recording software like Ableton Live, Pro-tools, Garage Band, Cubase, Adobe Soundbooth etc. and add in a track (or tracks) of your own. When you are finished mixing it up, re-upload it as a derivative work of the original song. You can do this by clicking on the link "derivatives" in the top right hand corner as shown below:


If you are the first, you will see a screen like this:


Click on the link that says "Upload your own derivative of this work". NOTE: you must first have an account to do this. They are free.

Once you have done that, you will be prompted to upload your derivative work along with making some text notes about what you added, your license (for your content only - you cannot override the existing base tracks licenses) and who you are etc.

This song is going on a CD one day and we would also be really happy if anyone submitting tracks could indicate if they are willing to allow their content to be used on the CD.

In addition to this song, there are tons of gigabytes of free music available for both download and remixing. Have fun!!!
