John Barresi Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Going into the winter months, Kitelife will be producing a LARGE variety of new videos for both the public and subscriber areas... The problem as always, is finding music we can use. Copyright is always a concern, so we're reaching out to you, the Kitelife visitors, for legal music sources. If you have or are involved with a band, or play with producing music at home, we could really use access to your tracks! Anyone who thinks they might be able to help, either PM or email me with more info. Naturally, we'd provide full music credits with or without a URL anytime your music is used.

Spence Watson Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Check out "Impact exploders" On myspace. The drummer in that band is my cousin. I'm sure they'd let you use some of their songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tristan Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Try any Green Day songs? or billy Talent? or Kanye West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Tricky part Tristan, is that we're looking for stuff that is "royalty free" or is inexpensive to license... All those guys are big $$$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Problem with those tracks Watty, they are remixes (or covers) of existing copyrighted material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 There you go John, nit picking again. Must be a big problem with copyright / royalties. I suppose you are "broadcasting" the songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Watson Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Ok. That's all I got then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks for the effort Watty. True Baloo, we can get away with a few YouTube videos here and there, but for major broadcast videos or DVD sales, we need to be safe.

Jim Foster Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 The key words were looking for are "royalty free" or "public domain", it really limits the scope. John Just when does a piece of music become "public domain"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Just when does a piece of music become "public domain"? A piece of music, or a composition will enter the public domain 70 years after the death of the author (composer). Now that only covers the actual composition. For example, the Maple Leaf Rag would be in the public domain, since Scott Joplin died more than 70 years ago. But the actual recording of a piece of music is a separately copyrighted property. So say a current artist recorded an album of old ragtime music and included that song. His recording of the song is not in the public domain, and permissions would be required to use that recording. Although, if you are musically inclined, you could record your own version freely, as the composition is public domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 John, I know how difficult it is to find and use music. I do video for the club (IKE) and some other editing as a side business, and have spent a lot of time looking into music options. Royalty free or buyout music can be rather expensive. If you can get a band to give you rights, that would be great. Otherwise, you'll have to find something you can purchase the rights to. Personally, I have used a lot of music from a company called Stock20. They compose and produce music specifically for things like this, and are not too expensive, relatively speaking, and have a very liberal usage agreement. Basically, the only thing you can't do is give, lease, or sell the files to another party. You can use them freely in any project, distribute them as part of that project anywhere...DVD, internet, broadcast, no limit. They sell individual tracks as sets. That is, you get 7-10, sometimes more, different length versions of the track. You can preview any of them on the website. They are pretty much just intrumental, and range from sparse piano or guitar to full band compositions in many styles. Maybe there is something there to suit you. They're relatively new in the business, but their library grows every month as they record new music. You can also hear some samples in my videos of the club and some of our festivals here... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3383376241899426197 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I used to be part of a small band, and we are talking about getting back together for a jam session towards the end of the month. altho I don't think we have a vocalist at the moment (and you certainly don't want me singing). I am happy to talk to the guys about putting something together. John, if you can let me know what style of music you are after (we have done middle of the road, ethnic, pop and reggae etc), also number of tracks, and ballpark duration(s). PM me if you want additional info Take care out there M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Foster Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Jeff Thank you for the info. I figured it was something like that. Next question..... Where do kite fliers stand using recorded music at Kite Festivals and the like? Is it OK since no money is charged? What is the story there? Anyone?
