I've been web surfing and I've found Free music!

That means I am getting next to nothing done today, so I've been web surfing. I found MUSIC! Free music.... and my music finding started with the blog of SaReGaMa Music. From that page: "I've been asked many times how come that I'm distributing my music for free and not trying to sell it. Well, music is something that I enjoy to do, it's a hobby, I will do it regardless if I'm getting paid for that or not and if anyone could benefit from my works I'd be pleased. You are free to share, copy, distribute, transmit and remix my music as long as it stays FREE." There is a donation link on the blog if you are so inclined to help fund more music and new instruments.

If you like world music you really need to follow my links.

 People ask me all the time what kind of music I listen to when making art... besides Amir Beso and Jesse Cook, this music will be added to my list. I like rhythmical music, a flow that lets me get detached from noises around me. This music delivers it. More than that, I like it enough to send the artist some money to encourage them to keep making music.

From that blog I jumped to their download link to Jamendo, and I downloaded some clips... I LOVE "Fly Agaric Trance" and "The Shore"! (The Fly Trance one starts a tad slow for my tastes, but overall it is a very happy piece, the mouth harp and didgeridoo in it is outstanding).

If your own tastes go in different directions, the choices on Jamendo are far from limited...all the music is free to download, but I encourage you to donate to the artists you like so they can afford to keep making music... sorta on an informal "pay for great performance" plan.

I actually think I might have found Jamendo before and posted about it, it seems familiar to me, but that would have been on my dead computer, either way I am glad to have either discovered it... or to have rediscovered it.

I have been posting a ton of web art related finds on my main journal over at livejournal, reposting them all here will not fit into the schedule for today, if you are curious feel free to go peek at them over on my LiveJournal blog.
