<br />
I thought I'd take the time to write about what I've basically been able to sort out from the Creative Commons licenses with regard to Audiotool just to clear up any misunderstandings or confusion there may be about them. It's important that each of us on Audiotool takes the time to understand what the licenses mean for our music. The legal code can, at times, sound like a bunch of gibberish, so I thought it would be good to lay this out in a way that hopefully, we can all understand. Here it goes:<br />
<br />
<b><u>What is a Creative Commons License? </u></b><br />
A Creative Commons license is a type of copyright license that allows other people to use your creative work in different ways. Depending on how much "permission" you want to give someone to use your work, you can choose from several different types of licenses.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Which License should I publish my tracks under in Audiotool? </u></b><br />
Audiotool has 3 different licenses that you can publish under. They are:<br />
<br />
<b>1. CC BY-SA (Attribution-ShareAlike)</b><br />
This license gives other people a lot of freedom on how they can use your creative work. This means they can remix it, make copies, adapt, perform it, and even sell your music WITHOUT your permission. Some people choose this license for the purpose of gaining more exposure. However, if you do not want your music to be sold by someone else without your permission, DO NOT publish your music under this license.<br />
<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode" target="blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode</a>
<br />
<br />
<b>2. CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike)</b><br />
This license still gives other people some freedom to use your work, but with one restriction. They can remix, make copies, adapt, and perform your music, but they CANNOT sell or make money off your music unless you give them permission. If you want to have control over whether your music gets sold or not, then use this license. Just be aware that this license does allow people to use your music, adapt, and distribute it freely as long as they don't sell it without your permission.<br />
<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/legalcode" target="blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/legalcode</a>
<br />
<br />
<b>3. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED</b><br />
This license gives you the most control over your creative work. No one can make copies, perform your music, adapt, or sell your music without your permission whether they do it for free or not. If you want to have complete control over your creative work, this license would be the one to publish under. However, if you choose this license on Audiotool, other people will not be able to remix your tracks.<br />
<br />
<b>*NOTE:</b> All of these licenses require anyone who decides to use your work to properly credit you, the creator. That's what the "BY" part of the license means, which stands for "Attribution." If anyone tries to say they are the creator of your work, they are breaking the rules of these licenses and are using your work ILLEGALLY.<br />
<br />
Another point to note is that if anyone uses your work in a way that is derogatory or damaging to your reputation, they are also breaking the rules of these licenses.<br />
<br />
Also, if you plan on publishing a remix or using anyone else's work, it's important to know that "SA", which stands for "ShareAlike", means that they are to be published under the same license. In Audiotool, that means certain samples and loops that have been uploaded under a certain license by another user will restrict you from publishing your track using a different license.<br />
<br />
<b><u>What else should I know about these licenses?</u></b><br />
You can change the status of your license anytime. However, if someone is already selling your work in their collection or on their web site and if they have followed all the rules of the license you had it under previously, then technically, they have the legal right to continue to sell the work because you originally published it under that particular license. In other words, you cannot revoke or take back the license terms for works already in circulation. You can only change the current status of your license which prevents future works from being used in a manner that you don't want them to. Still confused? Here's an example:<br />
<br />
Let's pretend I published a track titled "Happy Song" under the CC BY-SA license. Let's say a user on Audiotool named Mr. Moneymaker decides he wants to sell "Happy Song" on Amazon and puts it up to make a profit. Let's say I get unhappy about this and change the license of "Happy Song" to ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Technically, Mr. Moneymaker can still sell "Happy Song" on Amazon because he started selling it BEFORE I changed the license. However, let's say another user named Miss GetRichFast decides to also try to sell "Happy Song" on Amazon, but AFTER I changed the license to ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. In this case, Miss GetRichFast would be breaching the terms of the license (breaking the rules) because she tried to sell "Happy Song" AFTER I changed it, and she could get into trouble for doing so. Mr. Moneymaker, however, is legally safe... even if he is a scheming money-making jerk-face. ;)<br />
<br />
That's why it's important to be completely aware of what license you publish under so that you know what you may be getting yourself into, how much control, and what rights you have over your own music.<br />
<br />
(See <a href="http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions" target="blank">http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions</a> under "For Licensors", 3rd bullet point.)<br />
<br />
********************************************************************************<br />
So that's the gist of it. The licenses are designed to give permission to others to use your works in various ways. Be sure to choose the one that best fits what you want with regard to your own music. <br />
<br />
Please understand this information is not intended to discourage anyone from publishing their creative works under certain licenses. Nor is this, in any way, legal advice. I'm definitely not a lawyer. lol. The purpose of this is to inform people in a way they can understand so that they know what their options are and how they may be legally bound when they choose a particular license. Hopefully, this somewhat lengthy narrative makes things a little more clear and helps you make the choice that is most appropriate for your own music.<br />
<br />
Also, if you notice anything that I've overlooked or that is incorrect in what is written above, please do let me know. Thank you kindly!<br />

Early 90s Seattle changed the face of rock. The ridiculous glam rock era shifted, and bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden changed that soundscape and brought reality to rock with its full grittiness and raw power. We grew up with this. Chris Cornell's voice is insane. He has a multi-octave range and is a veritable operatic rock demi-god, writing all his own lyrics and playing guitar. I didn't really appreciate the music until nearly a decade afterwards since I wasn't really into the heftiness of metal, but I can definitely appreciate it now for all its emotionality and intensity. The lyrics of "Jesus Christ Pose" and "New Damage" actually helped me cope and get over some things a few years back. The video I believe was banned from television for incorporating the symbol of the cross. People get really sensitive whenever the cross and other religious references are used in artistic expression. Really, the song and the raw suffering and anger is what resonates with me more than the imagery. Plus, I decided to post a live performance by the band in Bremerton back in 92.

This album is timeless and a classic during a period when not only good music, but music with substance and depth was actually played on the radio. "Drive" is an emotionally powerful melody and "Everybody Hurts" was an anthem for the 90s that still resonates today. "Try Not To Breathe" has an Irish feeling to it, and I love "Man On The Moon" and "Find The River." Even though they've broken up, the band has left a legacy of music that I can still cherish in the present.<br /></div><br /><center><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ijZRCIrTgQc" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="360"></iframe></center><br /><center><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1hKSYgOGtos" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="360"></iframe></center><br /><center><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mgiCechWNCo" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="360"></iframe></center></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789957591714845128.post-64750097469040217672012-01-29T11:15:00.001-08:002012-01-29T13:20:36.966-08:009.

Just the themes that Bradford and Lockett cover in their lyrics has given me something to relate to. Illness, despair, loss, being abandoned, and being unable to relate to the rest of the world emanates from Bradford's lyrics. I just feel it so much. Lockett's "Fountain Stairs" and "Desire Lines" are pieces that contrast this sense of hopelessness and give me hope. Just an overall exquisite, beautiful album and one of my favorites of all time.</div><br /><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uwtDm06jRs4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center><br /><center><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lyFgLFmSxMk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center><br /><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aW2jOA6uIaM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center><br /><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/G5RzpPrOd-4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center><br /><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8b0fDIPP-u4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center><br /><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FuywaW0voG4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center><br /><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xu8MqdC0Zms" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789957591714845128.post-81773630592945649672012-01-28T11:40:00.001-08:002012-01-28T11:43:45.923-08:00V<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL4hnt1zALWClsfEa_mj9YR6XYnnbqBrlVHOD9BOBvX5IOstWUhxNycweoK8GgE_x5XEgeqrfkt92CSbbiP5Dp9_WrEzGrqgxGicrLGTDBsB9ePj3gFz_oC2PGXIEu0gyyMg6RBIpfTCQ/s1600/V+bandcamp.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL4hnt1zALWClsfEa_mj9YR6XYnnbqBrlVHOD9BOBvX5IOstWUhxNycweoK8GgE_x5XEgeqrfkt92CSbbiP5Dp9_WrEzGrqgxGicrLGTDBsB9ePj3gFz_oC2PGXIEu0gyyMg6RBIpfTCQ/s400/V+bandcamp.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702770563415308482" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I haven't posted one of mine in a while.

Some tracks definitely have a retro thing going on, even though these are the "future sounds" of jazz. I remember Sandburgen mentioning this to me on my "Levitation" track, so I decided to check a volume out. I like "Escobar Blues," "The Shake Up," "Reggie's Escape," "Voodoo Science," etc. Unfortunately, this volume is not on Spotify.

"Kiss It Goodbye" [iTunes Bonus Track]</div></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I can't find the bonus track "Kiss it Goodbye" anywhere! Not even on iTunes anymore. Damn. I wanted to hear it. I think this is a great band. Found out about them because they're good friends with one of my favorite bands ever, Deerhunter. Cole Alexander occasionally posts on the Deerhunter blog <a href="http://deerhuntertheband.blogspot.com/" target="blank">here</a> (because him and Bradford and all of them are awesome like that). Some of these tunes remind me of The Ramones and The Clash. Very retro. Very cool. Very punk. Very kick ass. "Mr. Driver" is a great track, only... the lyrics are completely inane. However, they still make it sound so cool.</div></div><br /><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WCpgJK97dDk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center><br /><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ChuYpoajar0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br /><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AqpkT2lGNW4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789957591714845128.post-64739670594432272082012-01-03T22:05:00.000-08:002012-01-20T14:26:31.587-08:005.

Seriously, this old school music is the bizness and I massively respect the artistry and energy of Afrika Bambaataa whose "Planet Rock" inspired my "Red Alert."

I have to thank Jonjon for introducing me to the sounds of Audio. His tracks are so powerful, masculine, intense, and the bass is so incredibly loud and big. "Exit Wound" blows my mind. It's the kind of dnb I wish I could create myself. Definitely a major source of inspiration for my own tracks.</div></div><br /><center><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1p35FDaHNUA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789957591714845128.post-57674229455105168072012-01-01T10:14:00.000-08:002012-01-20T14:27:00.448-08:003. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Definitive Soundtrack) (1968)<div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Today's Pick:</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://33andthird.blogspot.com/2009/01/2001-space-odyssey-definitive.html" target="blank">2001: A Space Odyssey</a> by <a href="http://www.richardstrauss.at/html_e/17_willkommen/0fs_index.html" target="blank">Richard Strauss</a>, <a href="http://bobjanuary.com/johann2.htm" target="blank">Johann Strauss Jr.</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gy%C3%B6rgy_Ligeti" target="blank">György Ligeti</a>, and <a href="http://www.khachaturian.am/" target="blank">Aram Khachaturian</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghPJRPXe-bkmIZUV3lp7EolI4p3exJaU4lxi7evz7GQ09l8FFdgNScox3deRDVCh8GlVfCbB4nzn8NIQJdX78KtJLMacvDza1CaZUGnu70r7pIbz46hsSyA4Hu11-L0s4Bf-_LOtzYnq0/s1600/2001+Front.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 380px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghPJRPXe-bkmIZUV3lp7EolI4p3exJaU4lxi7evz7GQ09l8FFdgNScox3deRDVCh8GlVfCbB4nzn8NIQJdX78KtJLMacvDza1CaZUGnu70r7pIbz46hsSyA4Hu11-L0s4Bf-_LOtzYnq0/s400/2001+Front.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692736618946290914" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div>1.

I love the oddly dissonant overture and the otherworldly choral music. The "Requiem For Soprano, Mezzo Soprano, Two Mixed Choirs & Orchestra" and "Lux Aeterna" are exquisitely and mysteriously astounding! I really love György Ligeti's pieces in particular. They are sonically primordial, yet simultaneously futuristic. Khachaturian's piece is beautifully somber as well - a purely timeless soundtrack. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Unfortunately, Spotify doesn't have this soundtrack, but here's a vid nonetheless: </div></div><br /><center><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JnuAaKiX1sg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789957591714845128.post-40290388888066887192011-12-31T11:20:00.001-08:002012-01-20T14:27:17.149-08:002. 1999<div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Today's Pick:</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/1999-Prince/dp/B000002KY8" target="blank">1999</a> by <a href="http://prince.org/" target="blank">Prince</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFy4ovz9mRAYC_yfmN8cFDf6ZTmMKkQJah1CBniC0jKDv7Rh9ufhvFA9pqWHc8kcj1cTOtLn-rtaxC3Wn1NhZu2O9PJUcOVIKBaUv7hI2G8_Z10JtuUghsTNRpMu8TD5NU6ToUDbOUXrI/s1600/Prince+-+1999.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFy4ovz9mRAYC_yfmN8cFDf6ZTmMKkQJah1CBniC0jKDv7Rh9ufhvFA9pqWHc8kcj1cTOtLn-rtaxC3Wn1NhZu2O9PJUcOVIKBaUv7hI2G8_Z10JtuUghsTNRpMu8TD5NU6ToUDbOUXrI/s400/Prince+-+1999.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692376759624102050" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">1. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/2H7PHVdQ3mXqEHXcvclTB0" target="blank">1999</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">2. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/4iozhXt27eMl39W5z7R8H6" target="blank">Little Red Corvette</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">3. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/6hazdpTPlt5W2BTCGYKBoj" target="blank">Delirious</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">4. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/31ink8UgWSYUXz0hPasoif" target="blank">Let's Pretend We're Married</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">5. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/1YpgRBDgD8ed7eb8i053Qt" target="blank">D.M.S.R.</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">6. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/1MpPRotMSsZhI5eevP2qeO" target="blank">Automatic</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">7. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/2hABMU63xtaIYChN6eYlEb" target="blank">Something in the Water (Does Not Compute)</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">8. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/2dBRAH9J3fL24AJkYmjZno" target="blank">Free</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">9. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/3olcbtUJV3xdHIfFjy8owe" target="blank">Lady Cab Driver</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">10. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/2k96E0L0SY9raNEVMBqbVL" target="blank">All The Critics Love U In New York</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">11. <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/7AFxCS5OHNvZgD2qceIc5Q" target="blank">International Lover</a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Prince is a legend! First song that popped into my head this morning on the last day of 2011 was "1999". I've never heard the whole album before. Love his soulful, quirky voice. It's a time machine trip back to synthesizers and keytars. Didn't realize he was so explicit in some of his lyrics and expressions (check "Let's Pretend We're Married"). Makes me laugh.

Being lucky enough to stumble upon the web site, I discovered a tool that allowed me to explore sounds I never imagined I would be creating. Even though I had been a pianist since childhood and had always written songs, I found that creative well drying up because the sonic possibilities were limited to me. Because of innovative thinkers and a talented team of technical experts who created a web site enabling people to produce music in the cloud, I was able to create an album's worth of music, which is something I had always wanted to do, but never had the means of accomplishing. Thanks to those creators and the medium by which it's now possible not only for me, but for the entire community and many more who are just discovering the site and it's amazing capabilities.</div><center><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A huge thanks goes to the musicians who inspire me. While my music doesn't sound much like theirs, they nonetheless have been the impetus in keeping me motivated:</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Deerhunter: a band who integrates both instruments and electronics in the coolest way. It began here. These guys got me back to feeling like myself again.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lockett Pundt (aka Lotus Plaza): for being truly inspiring in his electronic creations and raw, vulnerable sound. If it wasn't for his music and the example he's been as an artist and creator, I probably wouldn't have even bothered trying to make any music myself. A huge THANKS.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jonjon: You've blown me away by introducing me to an entirely new genre of music! You are talented beyond belief! Know it and own it. Thanks for your encouragement and advice, and all the cool music you've shared as well as created. May you be blessed with the best of fortune. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">digigeist: Thanks for letting me collaborate with you. It's so awesome working with you as O.D. I am truly proud of the tracks we've turned out together and I hope we can make some more! It has been a learning process that I truly have enjoyed and very much appreciate. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kepz: Thank you for "The More Than Words" remix on my single. You are enormously talented and have the potential to do whatever you want! Your music is gorgeously made and you are a very gifted visual artist too. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Audiotool creators and community: Thanks so much for the innovative online tool you've provided and are continuing to enhance. You've made it possible to share music in such an awesomely unique way. Thanks for all the hard work and technical support. Your team is amazing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am ever grateful to the community (you know who you are) for your encouragement, enthusiasm, and positivity. You all are teachers. It means a lot knowing some of you have my music on your i-pods, and I have been enjoying your music on my i-pod as well. It's all great. :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now go download this motherfucker.
