music?

Some of you may have noticed that Rich and I finally got our act
together and launched feathercast (http://feathercast.org/). Only the
first episode is available at present, but more should follow in due
course. We're not trying to maintain any schedule and will just be
adding episodes as we create them.

This mail is to ask if anyone has ideas for music we can use! I couldn't
decide for the initial episode, so didn't use any. The music will be
used for 10-15 secs at the start and then (possibly) at the end, so
we're not looking for a huge work, just something short. It needs to be
free for us to use and have no strings attached. We're quite OK with
giving credit which means that Creative Commons is OK.

What would be really cool was if someone out there was a musician or
involved in music and could create a piece   :-)   In all your spare
time obviously!   :-)

Please send ideas for music along and we'll have a listen. so far all
the pieces we've tried haven't quite felt right or been suitable. It's
hard to define exactly what is suitable, or what will push the correct
buttons, but I'm hopeful we'll know it when we hear it. If not it'll be
back to the dice   :-)

Suggestions, comments, feedback on feathercast should be directed at
theguys@feathercast.org.

Thanks to everyone who's replied so far. We'll listen to everything 
suggested :-)

I'd looked here but in some ways the sheer quantity was a little 
baffling. I'll have another trawl through though.

Have you looked at Magnatune?  From the help page "Magnatune is one of
the only record labels on the planet whose music you can legally use in
your podcast, without paying for a licensing agreement".

CCHits ( http://cchits.ning.com/ ) is designed to be a digg like  
thing for creative commons licensed music. Might be helpful.

Re: music?

Posted by Greg Reddin <gr...@apache.org>.
When I have time I produce a podcast for my church.  We have a few  
snippets of original, no strings attached, instrumental (and non- 
churchy) music you would be more than welcome to use.  You can hear  
an example here:

	http://fbcconway.libsyn.com/

Click the first podcast.  It starts with a 30-sec. spoken intro, then  
a 30-sec music clip.  If you like it, let me know and I can show you  
some more or you can use that one.  I can send you clips  
in .wav, .aif, or .mp3 formats.

Thanks,
Greg
