Episode 28: Instrumental Acoustic

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 instrumental acoustic music.

La pêche au thon - INSTRUMENTAL VERSION (2:58)
A la Roberto, tema I (1:37)
Ragtime Guitar (0:36)
Slightly On The Mash (version 2) (1:18)
Austerity Rag (3:20)
Cama Plana (2:04)

That was La pêche au thon - INSTRUMENTAL VERSION by Löhstana David and A la Roberto, tema I by Clbustos, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Ragtime Guitar by Sean Davoust, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Slightly On The Mash (version 2) by lucas_gonze, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under the CC-Zero license.  Following that was Austerity Rag by The Naughty Step and finishing up was Cama Plana by mpintar, both of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.

This week's music is all Attribution or compatible again.  You may also notice that a lot of the music this week is from SoundCloud.  That's because, although there's a lot of good acoustic music on other sites, I ran into a lot of it that was either Attribution Noncommercial or Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike, and since I wanted to do an Attribution-only episode, I ended up cutting a bunch of it.  It'll probably make it into a future episode, though - some of it's really good.

And for all of you folks that just happen to have a 4K display already, apparently the short film Sintel is available for download in 4K resolution, or 4096x1744 pixels.  I find this rather fascinating, since we now have open media at the forefront of technological advancements in commercial display resolution.  By making this available, they're giving early adopters and anyone playing around with the technology free media to test it with, which benefits not only the general public and the open content community but the commercial media distribution companies as well.  The 4K version of Sintel is available from the Xiph Test Media site at media.xiph.org and is licensed under an Attribution license.

Anyway, let's continue with some more music.

That was Entertainer part 1 by mikefilonov, Sad by eshmatov, Imposto by mpintar, and A Night Of Stars by Acoustic Size, all four of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Grünes Land VIIb by Still Playing Guitar, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Camila - Instrumental by mpintar, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Primavera by Distimia (España), which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Amy Waltz (Nov 12 2012) by lucas_gonze and Acoustic theme by Korgluva, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Juba Breakdown by lucas_gonze, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under the CC-Zero license.

Today's app-of-the-day is Agent 008 Ball, a neat little HTML5 open source billiards game.  The object of the game is to get all of the pool balls scored as fast as possible.  It's quick loading and easy to try, has nice graphics and sound, runs very smoothly, and is licensed under an MIT license.  Try it out today at agent8ball.com

Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music, and although this book is filled with really terrible and outdated stereotypes, it has some really clever puns and wordplay, and as such, I very much enjoy it.

The Foolish Dictionary
Cerises - INSTRUMENTAL VERSION (3:40)
Ratty's return (3:02)
1001 Rag (3:46)
Telling a Repetitive Anecdote (Instrumental) (3:39)

That was Cerises - INSTRUMENTAL VERSION by Löhstana David, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Ratty's return by The Naughty Step, 1001 Rag by HeatherEnidWells, and finishing up was Telling a Repetitive Anecdote (Instrumental) by Geoff Bennett, all three of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.

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.
