Thoughts on free and open source music? (self.music)

Hello Everyone! I make chiptunes on trackers which are quite famous for "keygen music" associated with software piracy. My philosophy with the music I make is that all my tracks can be downloaded for free, are copyright free, and most importantly: its source files can be accessed.

The last bit is something I dont see too much of in the music communities (correct me if I am wrong). I would definitely like to see this more popularised perhaps making something akin to "FOSS Music". Under all of my tracks I put a mediafire link to .xm file. I think this would be incredibly useful to creators as there many times where I hear a song and just love a specific instrument or sample they used and would like to use it in my own music.

Thoughts?

NCS is a great step in the right direction, but back when I used to make music with LMMS, getting access to the actual files people used was a godsend for learning and tinkering.

I do definitely think it's something that could catch on, especially considering how easy it is for "pro" artists to recreate other people's music effortlessly anyways

Yeah I defo agree, so much of how I learnt to create music was from tinkering in other people's music. Do you know if there is any fedi site or forum that specifies in open source music?

Traditional workflows involving analog recordings and proprietary instrument plugins sadly make "sources" quite useless for music.

At least for the latter problem this DAW sounds quite promising: https://github.com/stargatedaw/stargate
