(apologies if you're getting this twice) hello idm and ambient lists, i've been helping with an innovative new online music community site. the short of it is that artists upload soundfiles as 'bubbles' which they create compositions out of in an organic fashion. but then you get to borrow other people's bubbles and add them to your own piece. its free to signup. no money is exchanged. even if you cant upload sounds you can still make a composition by just borrowing from others. its a great format to spread your sound/noise. compositions created already by (but not all uploaded yet): leafcutterjohn, datach'i, ourbrotherthenative, flying (nyc), nonhorse, nullsleep, cloudlandcanyon, christianscienceminotaur (nyc), lullatone, jason forest, ... before you go farther you should know... 1.) FireFox works best for now (but it should operate on everything) 2.) Need Java (5+), they will know if they don't! 3.) Must be mono-wave files under 10 seconds (for now) 4.) Post nothing you do not have the rights for to start playing, you have to first sign-up. i swear this takes less than 20 seconds and the only real information we need is a valid email address. http://www.bubblebeats.com/signup things are moving quickly for BBs right now, and we are presenting/launching at DorkBot on February 6th in nyc. http://www.dorkbot.org we want to cultivate the most artistic and creative soil we can on this site to hopefully inspire a high level of quality of all future users. also, because your samples will get up there first, yours should spread the farthest. once you're on, you can go through the tutorial (just follow the tab) or go straight to your beats page and start uploading. here is a link to a legend for all the icons that might be helpful http://bubblebeats.com/key IMPORTANT: for now the only filetype that can be uploaded is mono-wave and please keep the samples under 10 seconds (it really helps with the page loading). this will expand to more filetypes in the future. ALSO: the agreement basically states that you are the owner of the material that you are uploading. please, do not upload any sampled material. please, email me if you have any problems. bestest, nat natbot@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ Helping your favorite cause is as easy as instant messaging. You IM, we give. http://im.live.com/Messenger/IM/Home/?source=text_hotmail_join

Is there anything that differentiates this from the Freesound Project??? Are all sounds CC licensed?

1. bubblebeats is more than just posting/sharing samples... its doing this through a unique interface that allows for creative, organic composition with your own and others bubbles. 2. you can make your own stuff CC if you want. the CC was too open, we wanted to keep everything contained within bubblebeats. our terms (which every user signs) say you have the copyright, but you are allowing anyone who comes onto bubblebeats to use your sounds WITHIN bubblebeats. what happens in bubblebeats stays in bubblebeats. :> nat

How dependent is performance on a slow computer (AMD 1GHz)? It was very difficult to determine what my clicking was doing (on some occasions, double clicking a single bubble would do nothing, or trigger it twice with a few ms delay between each trigger) Behavior was odd, but so is my computer. nat hawks wrote:
