Episode 46: Piratey Music Open Licensed Music Podcast

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring pirate music and other stuff that's not necessarily pirate music but I think goes well with it.  Some of the music this week does have lyrics. Into Aer Cumri (3:28) Polka No. 1 for Accordion in C minor (2:15) Parisian (0:43) Talijanska (1:56) Waltz No. 1 for Accordion in C minor (2:39) Poirot (2:38) That was Into Aer Cumri by Mattias Westlund, which was formerly available from Jamendo and is now available from The Internet Archive, which is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Polka No. 1 for Accordion in C minor by Steven O'Brien, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Parisian by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Talijanska by Balkan Balagan, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Waltz No. 1 for Accordion in C minor by Steven O'Brien, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  And finishing up was Poirot by Michael Lambright, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. MusOpen's back on KickStarter again with a new project to record more classical music to release as public domain.  Most of the classical music out there is public domain due to how old it is, but that's the music itself.  Recordings of said classical music are generally newer and are covered by copyright, preventing them from being reused without explicit licensing.  Musopen's goal is to change that.  Their previous KickStarter campaign successfully allowed them to record a bunch of well-known music which they released to The Internet Archive as public domain.  Now their goal is to record the complete works of Chopin, and as of the time of this episode they have almost reached their goal already.  To take a look and help out, please visit http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Musopen/set-chopin-free Volant (7:25) Gypsy Csardas and Men's Dances from Kalotaszeg (edited) (6:14) Miri's Magic Dance (1:36) Amari Szi (4:37) That was Volant by La Troba Kung-Fu and an edited version of Gypsy Csardas and Men's Dances from Kalotaszeg by MetroFolk, both of which are available from Free Music Archive and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Miri's Magic Dance by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Amari Szi by The Underscore Orkestra, which is available from Free Music Archive and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. Today's app-of-the-day is Synergy.  Synergy is a neat little system to let you use one keyboard and mouse to run multiple computers.  So, for example, in my normal computer setup I have my desktop running Xubuntu Linux with its two monitors set up with the keyboard and mouse, and I have Synergy set up on my Gentoo Linux laptop so the cursor and keyboard smoothly move right over to it without having to plug in or unplug anything.  Basically when my mouse hits the edge of the desktop's screen, it pops over onto the laptop's.  And the great thing is that the computers involved don't have to run the same operating system.  They have downloads for Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and iOS for iPad and iPhone devices, though I have little doubt there's a port available for BSD, OpenIndiana, etc.  It's available from synergy-foss.org and is very simple to set up. Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, followed by more music. Treasure Island French Blues (2:55) Sailor's Saturday Night B-dur (3:38) The Battle of Gavelburg (4:18) Black Flag Flying (edited) (3:47) Tha
