Is it impossible playing a British-style pop music in Italy? Here is the challenge that Amelie want to take up.
At the beginning of 2006, the Trabant EP is the Amelie’s 1st auto-produced work. It gets good reviews from specialised websites and magazines. Meanwhile, the band plays several gigs and festivals, and opens some summer tour concerts of Baustelle.
In November 2006, Amelie record 5 songs which give birth to Be Low, the band’s 2nd EP. The artistic production of this very goodly reviewed work is led by Andrea Franchi, collaborator and drummer with well-known Italian songwriter Paolo Benvegnù.

Today I present you an Industrial Classical Pop album from jamendo.com

I like the sound of this music. It’s a mash up of existing music. The make of the album describe it like this

Tryad is one of the world’s first ‘virtual bands.’

Born of Creative Commons and opsound.org, the members of Tryad :: vavrek, arna, rjmarshall, John Holowach, and emma meet and create music entirely over the internet.

During 2005, for over nine months they collaborated, all without having ever spoken to each other (only e-mailed), and produced a strikingly original work. Combining elements of trip-hop, alt. rock, classical instrumentation, and electronica, Public Domain breaks the mold of what you’d expect.

From the hard-thumping bass, drums, and chorus of “The Final Rewind,” to the mellow, drifting sixties beat of “Peace On Earth (Same Place),” to the stinging madness of “Dance of the Urbanite,” there’s something here for everyone to appreciate.

Bands and artists like Portishead, Depeche Mode, Rob Dougan, The Beatles, Moby, Massive Attack, and many others mish-mash together on this audio journey, the end of which makes you want to relive it all over again…

6.000 euros for artists who publish music under CC

As jamendo.com blog is stating, they are sharing their revenue of April to July with their artists. This revenues come from advertising.

The money is split up proportionally in respect to the page views of the artists content on jamendo.com

So… If the artists have a big fan community, they are likely to get more money from jamendo.

My hope is that such ideas are spreading and next time jamendo is able to publish even more than their 6.000 euros.
