Episode 22: Asian-influenced Music

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 Asian-influenced music.

Haratanaya Sree (4:32)

That was Haratanya Sree by Veena Kinhal, which is available from Free Music Archive and is licensed as Public Domain.  Finishing up was Solyuga by KraftiM, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.

Track 3-Yogi (Rag Bhairavi alap dhumali) 7,25mn (7:17)
Track 7-Rag Kalawati (Alap,Rupak,& tintal)17,00mn (17:02)

That was Track 3-Yogi (Rag Bhairavi alap dhumali) and finishing up was Track 7-Rag Kalawati (Alap,Rupak,& tintal)17,00mn.  Both of them in this set are by Karim Amari, are available from Jamendo, and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

Today's app-of-the-day is OpenBVE, a train driving simulator.  And I say "driving" since it's not a switching simulator or operations simulator - you take the role of engineer and have to get your train from one station to the next on time while still obeying speed limits and signals.  It can be quite challenging.  It's available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at openbve.org

Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.  And, yeah, the story's full of heavy cultural stereotypes, but among others, boy do I wish some of the stereotypes of "those crazy adventurous Americans" were still true.

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.
