ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC IS ON THE RISEIn the past couple of years Electronic Dance Music, or EDM, has risen out of the underground to become the top most favored genre of the modern generation. EDM has become the new Rock and Roll, but with an even lower barrier for entry for fans to get involved. No longer do you need a guitar, drumset, or amps. Anyone with a computer and an internet connection can participate, and they are, at an increasing rate.THE PROBLEMThe problem lies in the derivative nature of the artform. EDM songs are made by remixing or sampling pieces of existing songs. Since nearly all songs are copyrighted, most EDM songs are infringing copyright by sampling them. Paying the licensing fees to publishers and record labels for a single song easily costs tens of thousands of dollars, which is prohibitively expensive for all but the most successful musicians.THE SOUNDKEEP SOLUTIONSoundkeep plans to solve this problem by creating an Open Source Music community. By creating a place where a musician can release music through Creative Commons to the greater community of musicians, we can build a large body of license free content. This content can then be freely sampled and remixed by the community without the fear and liability of a lawsuit with a major label. We can't wait to break the licensing constraints on current artists and see the artform grow.
