Episode 34: Fantasy Adventure

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 fantasy adventure music.

City of Dwarves (5:56 @ 1:38)

That was The White Cube (Kyrie Eleison) by jacinda espinosa, which is available from ccMixter.  After that was City of Dwarves by xterminal86, which is available from SoundCloud.  Then we had The Death of Magic by Mattias Westlund and From Honour To Horror by Christiaan Bakker, which are both available from Jamendo.  Next up was Beyond the Ocean of a Thousand Dreams by Aleksandr Kurilov, which is available from SoundCloud.  Finishing up was Disabled emotions suite: Part 6 by zero-project, which is available from zero-project.gr.  All six songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.

I've mentioned it before, but if you haven't seen the short film Sintel, you might want to go check it out.  It was made using the open source animation program Blender, and revolves around a girl and her pet dragon.  It's licensed under an Attribution license and is available to watch online or download in a variety of formats and sizes all the way up to a 4K format packaged for playing in theaters.  Check it out today at sintel.org

Disabled emotions suite: Part 2 (4:09 @ 19:22)
Introduction (1:15 @ 23:29)
Crusade (3:18 @ 24:45)
Avalon (2:59 @ 27:59)
Marche de ferrel (trad) (2:37 @ 30:57)

That was Disabled emotions suite: Part 2 by zero-project, which is available from zero-project.gr.  After that was Introduction by Mertruve, which is available from Jamendo.  Then we had Crusade by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com.  Next up was Avalon and finishing up was Marche de ferrel (trad), both by Adragante, which are both available from Jamendo.  All five songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.

Today's app-of-the-day is MuseScore, a music notation and scoring program that makes it very easy to typeset sheet music.  You pretty much just click the staves to add notes to them in whatever lengths you want and it takes care of drawing all the stems and such and generally expressing the music you draw in using normal music notation rules.  It's really cool and, due to the number of automatic organization and cleanup features, makes it quite easy to typeset sheet music.  Even if you don't know much about musical theory, I'm confident you could still compose playable songs with relative ease with it.  It's available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at musescore.org

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

That was Valley of tears by zero-project, which is available from zero-project.gr.  After that was Dragon Ride by Aleksandr Kurilov, which is available from SoundCloud.  Then we had Constancy Part One by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com.  Next up was Film Score: Upsrise by M3XHIPY and Summon the Wolves by Clarence Yapp, which are both available from SoundCloud.  Finishing up was Lord, Have Mercy (anonymous) by Dr. Emiliyan Stankov, which is available from Jamendo.  All six of the songs in this set 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.
