It isn’t such a bad idea. Sure, it will generate absolutely no revenue for composers. But some people just want to share what they have.
Many of the business models today’s music libraries were considered a sad and pathetic joke 10 to 20 years ago. A whole industry has grown from “free music”.
The concept for this company will appeal to certain individuals that are probably not interested in a career. The philosophy behind the company would make sense to those individuals. It is a very extreme philosophy, but has appeal nonetheless.
That’s better. Now, I’ve seen it all.
Oh, wait, doesn’t anyone want to warn us about how this is the end of the music business? 😉

HAHA… So how many tracks did you submit, DI? 😛
The first sentence of D.I.’s post was enough that I have gone and popped some popcorn and cracked open a Coke. Let the entertainment begin.
HAHA… So how many tracks did you submit, DI? 😛
None yet.
I have a lot of pieces that I have not been able to exploit. If I had to guess, I would be able to send between 80 to 120 pieces of music if I chose to do so.
But this is not about me. It is about agreeing with a certain philosophy and working to promote that philosophy. I am neither for or against free music. But I believe that everyone has the right to choose without feeling guilty, foolish, or ashamed.
Business will go on with or without this company. I just do not want people to get upset or worried about alternatives to the mainstream music licensing industry.
Everyone has a right to participate, no matter how divergent their music or philosophies may be.
Dave and DI…tell me that you both think “Quality Free Music” is a real library?
I’m submitting to “DI Free Music”… :p
DI, I’m razzing you 😛 because that QFM thing is obviously a parody. It’s the Weird Al Yankovic of music libraries. I hope you didn’t stay up all night putting 100 tracks together for uploading!
One clue that it’s a parody is that the email link on the submission page is not an actual link.
Can you imagine the submissions they would have to listen to from people who feel their music would be a perfect fit after listening to the “Taster showreel”?
OMG, we’ve been pranked? 😉
Yeah…and I just ordered that new goat-bleating sample library for Kontakt! 😛
To me it reads like a let-out for some composer guys who had to explain once too often why they would charge for their work. It’s done with a great sense of humor and the ambiguity certainly attracts a lot of attention.

I hear that library has some really baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad ass samples!
