Free Ideas - FREE the music


No Copyrights music

Music makes the world go around I was told as a child by my father, then why is it not for free, why do we need producers and record deals to get our music out there? The number one killer of music is the copyright laws and everyone trying to own some part of it. The truth is that music is like a free bird that no one can own or claim, lets just say that you write a melody for a song, you think you have come up with an original melody but the truth is that you have taken bits and peaces from some other song or artist that you may have heard somewhere down the line. So is the melody truly yours?

In this time of war and greed one way we can all be connected is through music, it needs no languages or translators, it’s the universal language. After thinking about all this and what we can do to change all this I have come up with a plan to free the music in the world. It’s been held captive for far too long.

This site Free the music hopes just to do that, it connects musicians, writers, producers, video artists, basically anyone that is willing to try and make the change.

The only rule on the website

No one Owens anything, No copyrights, once you lord your contribution what ever it is to the site it’s not yours, it’s like a bird set free. You can add your credit to your name but you must remember that your name will only be small contribution to the song, so there will be many names credited to one song. Many versions of the same melody or song.

If at all a song hits the charts and starts to make something no one gets any of it, it will go into a charity. That way music will truly make the world go around.


How it all works

Anyone can be part of this, even if you don’t know anything about music. Say you play guitar and you have a riff (melody) that you have come up with, you record it on your pc using the software we have loaded, which can be done by any pc from anywhere in the world. Another person who plays base from another world will download it play around with it and add a base part to that Riff and yet another will write some lyrics to it, then someone will add vocals to it. Then someone who likes it will play around with his video camera and graphics and make a video for it. This way song is made and set free to the world out there which none really owns. Even after song is made it can be changed and redone by some other person. The song can keep changing. Keep evolving just like the world.

Other high light of the website

Live jams across the world

The site will set up software so you can have live jams across the world and for the jam to be record at the same time. This way people from different parts of the world can jam online and hopefully come up with something new that connects the world with one voice, one sound.

Add corner

This will be corner of the site where you can place adds for instruments sale or even if you just have a old guitar that you are not using and then you see someone who really needs one, someone that has placed a add on the site, you can gift it or sell it for cheep.


Free music

This is space where you can log in your bands or even your personal songs that you have done and get feed back on what others think about it. You can also use it to download songs from bands you never heard of, this way if you are an unknown band or artist your sound still gets heard by the masses.

Band stand

This is a place where you can place ads looking for other arties in you own city or country or even world wide to start up a band or just to do a recording.

Brain Storm

This is a part of the site that you can put up anything, names for bands, logs, imagers, animation, anything that might interest someone or help with setting the music free.

How will the site maintain it self and pay for its expenses?

The site will sell advertising space for any interested party, there by getting funds to maintain and run the Website.

Found out the stoned truth -Stoned writings!


What if I told you I just had a great thought after a joint, It may sound like a stoned mans dum words but just take some time and think of what I am saying, “what if I told you that I just thought of a way to stop hunger, poverty and most of sadness in this world.


It seems war is the root of all this evils, imaging if tomorrow all our ladders would agree just for one day to stop all wars all over the world, just for one day no one will fight with another, nothing to do with fighting will happen in the whole world. Just for that day how many extra smiles will smile? How many of them will get to live just coz of that one day.




It that hard for us to stop fighting? Greed seems to be the mother of it all, the more we have the more we wont. The more we wont, the more we need, the more we work at getting it, when we don’t we fight. The supper powers of the world use war to get all they wont, even the death of the innocents. Before you say no that’s not true, just think how in some way even you and I are like this supper powers, the truth is we are some how connected in someway to sponsoring war, or fighting it.



Some one told me don’t go to MacDonald’s coz some of your cash from buying that beggar will some how end up killing a increscent child in Iraq, it that true! I really don’t know! Do you? I started writing all this with trying to make point about something but I think I have lost it now
So Thanks for reading! Keep the smile!
