Musician Wonders What It Would Take To Become An Open Source Musician

alerts us that the new electronic music / artist DJ Polish Ambassador has recently started to think about what Facebook means to be an "open source" musician:


According to Wikipedia, "Open Source" is a philosophy that promotes free redistribution and access to project design and details of implementation. The end user modifies the program is allowed to send his / her contribution to the author for possible inclusion in the project.
If an artist that the ambassador of Poland to become an open source project so it may seem? Is it possible / potential for art / music / brands to become open source? Is it already happening? Could it an ideology? Perhaps one way to get ideas from other people there? One way to work? One way to combine the efforts of people in mind like? One way to create art for art? One way to generate $ for end users or charities? I think the possibilities are endless. We all use open source software every day. Linux, Firefox, etc., but I have not heard of many artists who, when I think of his name, I also think, "Oh yes, he / she is the artist of open source." Perhaps there is a reason, maybe not. With Twitter / Facebook and the Web in general, technologically speaking, we have never been more connected. We'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas. Could "artists open source" will be an evolutionary step for art?

course, many people in the "free culture" point to Creative Commons, as the artistic equivalent of an open source offering. However, two things I find interesting. First, from the time of writing this post, no one in the dozens of comments posted on this story mentions CC at all. Second, the demand will actually slightly beyond CC. It's not fair to do the job free to distribute or use ... but the second part: the return to the source for possible inclusion in the project. Now, once again, we saw some examples of projects in several remixes. In particular, I remember the experience of K-OS, where instead of having the fans Remix an album, which pre-release of all stems, and allow fans to create their own original mixes then took the best for each song and released an album combined: one of their own blends, and a second best fan mixes. In the world of hip-hop, instrumental and acapellas release for fans and other artists (remix and building contest or other promotion of all that) is quite common, but few artists have gone further and offered the individual bits and pieces. This is perhaps along the lines of what the ambassador of Poland is looking for.



However, this has me asking if there is nothing Creative Commons could include in their offers, or if it goes further. It


an interesting point, however. One of emotions in people who work on open source software is not that they can do whatever they want with it, but can work together to make the project more. Open source developers take pride deserved when a contribution is included in a larger project. Imagine the same situation with the musicians. What if your favorite band freedom
the remix of her song? That is, what if you actually worked and told his account was one that I really liked - if you have the official stamp of approval that the work was more widely distributed? Again, it seems that some artists do in the margins, but it seems like the kind of thing that could be clearer formalized and promoted as a cool way for artists to connect with fans and > for fans to get some kind of
