Opsound
"Opsound uses the form of an experimental record label and open sound pool to explore the idea of social architecture as artwork. It is a kind of laboratory for looking at how artists can release music in a manner synergistic with the internet's capacity to encourage communication and sharing. Opsound explores the possibilities of developing a gift economy among musicians, borrowing from the model of the open source software community.
"Anyone is invited to contribute their sounds to the open pool using a copyleft license. Work in the open pool is available to be listened to, reconfigured, recombined & remixed, and also released by Opsound (and other) microlabels both on the internet and in the physical world."
