Kompoz.com Launches "Open Music" Collaboration and Social Networking Site

Kompoz.com is a new Web 2.0 social networking site for creating multi-track songs online with other musicians around the world. With Kompoz, you can collaborate with anyone to create and mix a new generation of independent music based on the open standards of the "Creative Commons".

Miami, FL (PRWeb) Monday, March 12, 2007 -- Kompoz.com today announced the launch of its new website, ushering in a new era of open collaborative music creation, mixing, and publication. Using Kompoz.com's global venue, social networking tools, and core set of enabling technologies, musicians -- garage bands, independents, and professionals -- create, collaborate, and mix their music online.

"We've leveraged the Web as a platform for creating a worldwide virtual music studio," said Raf Fiol, founder of Kompoz.com. "It's a new approach to creating music, designed and engineered by and for a global community. Got an idea for a song? Record a track, upload it, then invite the community of musicians to add drums, bass, vocals or anything else. We provide the workspace and technologies to connect you with others, and to preview, mix, and publish your music."

Kompoz.com provides a framework for participation, characterized by open communication, democracy, and the freedom to share and re-use. Collaborations are based on the Creative Commons licensing models, promoting the sharing and re-use of the music created, while still retaining fundemental attribution and other rights for the original artists.
