Episode 14: Electronic

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring electronic music.

Rotational Authority (4:12)
Space Saloon (3:12)
dancendtrance (2:51)
fly away (3:12)

That was Rotational Authority by Phantasma, which I've listened to probably more times than is healthy since I discovered it about a week ago.  That song is the one that cemented this episode as being electronic music when the episode was still in the planning stage.  It's available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Space Saloon by Eclectic Electronic, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up were dancendtrance and fly away, both by Sekula Wieslaw, both available from Jamendo, and both licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

This week has more than an hour of music lined up, so I'd like to get back to music soon.  But first, I'd like to mention that the Humble Bundle is back.  This time it's games again, but they do come with soundtracks, and boy are a couple of the games ever fun.  They're available for Linux, Android, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Check it out today at humblebundle.com

So, anyway, back to music.

Hornet (instrumental edit) (4:48)
save the world (2:53)
System 4 (4:02)
Blue Nexus (3:22)

That was an instrumental edit of Hornet by George_Ellinas, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was save the world by Sekula Wieslaw, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Next up was System 4 by Eclectic Electronic, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  And finishing up was Blue Nexus by Obtuse, which is available from his website at obtusemusic.bandcamp.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

That last one was rather interesting in that I've listened to Obtuse's music for a while and have always very much liked it but none of it that I'd found was open licensed.  I talk to him once in a while anyway, and I saw he was in an IRC chat channel I frequent, so I asked him if he had any open licensed music that I just
wasn't finding.  He didn't, but shortly after looking into open licensing, he now does.  The albums on his BandCamp site are available for purchase under a pay-what-you-want model and two of his albums are also now open licensed.  As usual for anyone I promote, I have no affiliation other than already knowing him.  He just has some awesome music, and I'm excited to be able to play it now.

So, with that said, let's get back to music.

Phobos Moon (5:54)
Do not come back. (3:51)
Electronic moment (2:58)
Triggernometry (ft. PattsiPeng) (instrumental version) (3:50)
Syndrome (3:15)
Aliens (ft. Mind Map That, My Free Mickey) (5:09)

That was Phobos Moon by Andrey Avkhimovich, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Do not come back. by UzDjLai and Electronic moment by Kevin Pellegrini, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was the instrumental version of Triggernometry (ft. PattsiPeng) by 7OOP3D, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Then we had Syndrome by Phantasma, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  And finishing up was the instrumental version of Aliens (ft. Mind Map That, My Free Mickey) by timberman, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.

Today's app-of-the-day is 7-Zip.  It makes and opens archive files like zip and tar files.  Pretty basic, but beautiful in its simplicity and the fact that it runs pretty much everywhere.  A version of it is available for Linux, BSD, BeOS, AmigaOS, Solaris and OpenIndiana, AIX, Mac OS X, MS-DOS, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at 7-zip.org

Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by a bit more music.

Librivox
I make you a Spaceman (2:57)
Dead (4:46)
Dj Devi - There Is Nothing After (5:59)

That was I make you a Spaceman by Kevin Bryce, which is available from Free Music Archive and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. After that was Dead by Alex F and finishing up was Dj Devi - There Is Nothing After by Dj Devi, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution license.  I thought the title of that last song was quite fitting.

So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.
