[LAU] Music made on (with?) linux (and windows and mac!).

Hey list,

I recently discovered Ninjam, a non-realtime (non realtime in the sense you
play over the previous bar that someone else played and vice versa) internet
jamming app available for linux, windows and mac. Software is Open-source
and licensed under the GPL (which version, I'll have to check the sources)
and the audio generated from licenced under the " Attribution,
Noncommercial, Share Alike Creative Commons License
v2.5<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/>".


Inb4 license flamewars.

Anyway, I find it absolutely great fun jamming with all sorts of people with
all sorts of instruments (trumpet, anyone?). A JACK-ified version was also
hacked together by a kind soul on the forums (absolute god-send!).

Now back to the topic. Basically, all the jams are automatically recorded,
cut up and placed onto the website and can be streamed here:
http://autosong.ninjam.com/

I had this absolutely hilarious solo duel with a guitarist who went by the
name Will. Then a bass player, a second guitarist, trumpet player and drum
machine joined in and it escalated from there. I was lucky enough to have
recorded all 2 hours and 25 minutes of it or so, but it's probably already
on the site (search a day or three back!).

Ok, I'll shut up now!

Andrew.
