The Sound Share Project
Up until now this whole Sinch thing has pretty much been a one-way street. We make music and you guys listen. We’ve received a few things from fans over the years: an acoustic version of a song here, a piece of artwork inspired by the band there… but we’ve always wanted more than that. So we finally got around to doing something about it and set up the Sinch Sound Share Project.
How it works is pretty simple:
- We release packages of sounds/samples from our music on ccMixter.org
- You download them
- You use them in whatever way you want (as long as you’re not selling the result)
- You upload the result to ccMixter
- Everyone listens.
- ???
- Profit!
We’re really excited to see what everyone can come up with. Whether you know your way around Pro Tools or have never touched a piece of audio software in your life… give it a shot. You might be surprised.
To kick things off, our very own Mike the Bass Player did a remix of the first song we’ve released the sound files for, “Cutting All Ties” from the Subdivisions EP.
In classic Mike fashion, it’s not working how it’s supposed to but you can still get to the file with that link so you should be OK. It should be available on his ccMixter page, but for some reason it’s not. As you can see there are no uploads even though according to his profile, he “has 1 remix.” Classic.
Anyway, you can find all the downloads along with links to audio software on the Sound Share Project page.
This sounds like fun. I’ll give it a shot.
