Hi!
A few months ago I started with a friend of mine a musical project
that has particular similarities to the philosophy of free software. I
would like to tell you about it in this post and I'd love to read your
feedback.
With our band John Option[1] we published our first single My monkey
some week ago. Of course the song is published under the terms of the
Creative Commons License (CC-BY-SA) and it's completely produced only
with free software: Ardour, Hydrogen, Jack, Qsynth, CALF, and many
other great free audio software that we used under a GNU/Linux system.
Here you can listen the single: http://youtu.be/GdsyGlPkfEg
But with the project of John Option we have done a little more in the
direction of freedom. As for the free software the source code is
accessible for the users, we decided to do the same thing for our
music. So we published the single recording tracks of the song My
monkey and the complete Ardour session. All this material is published
in our official website[1] under the CC-BY-SA license so that anyone
can use our tracks to produce a remix of our song or even a new song
that have to be published under the same license.
You can find all about our project here: http://johnoption.org
I hope that you like our choice of freedom. If you feel like I'd love
to read your feedback, because the encouragement of the people who
listen to us and appreciate the philosophy of our project is a fuel
for us to continue.
Ciao,
Max-B

Hey hey Max,
good track! It's amazing how good a production you can achieve with the
samples involved. I'm thinking of the drums. I think I've heard and played
those, when I first investigated Hydrogen. I never thought you could mix them
that well. Chapeau!
Not my current mood, but everything with this song sounds as it should do.
Perhaps I will go for the Ardour session and take a look at your setup there.

Many thanks! Hydrogen is a geat free software and it comes with great
drumkit!

Thanks for your interesting. If you investigate to my Ardour session and
you would like to write your feedback here I will be glad to read it.
For the guitar I used a 1991 Fender Telecaster American Standard with a
Boss Blues Drive and a Fender Princeton Amp. I recorded the guitar from
the amp cone with a Shure SM7 directlyconnected to my audio card
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. For the lead vocals I used the Shure SM57 with a
GAP pre-73 DLX pre-amp. And for the backing vocal a Bluebird Condenser
microphone with the same preamp.
Ciao,
