Celluloid Notes - what are you watching?

Moby offers free soundtrack music to independent filmmakers

Moby has recently launched a new website that will allow student filmmakers, and non-profit filmmakers to access his music, for soundtracking purposes, at no charge. The website, MobyGratis, is currently hosting about 75 songs, but he has plans to adds many more to the sites database. The site ahs been created for the purposes of allowing people with no access to money, who are not working for any money, to get quality music to soundtrack with. A pretty awesome plan. But what's the catch? There really doesn't seem to be one, he's just offering free music. For filmakers working for a profit he has an easy licensing form available and all the profits from these licensing agreements will go to the humane society. But where's the catch? He's just doing it for free? Well if that's the case, I'm impressed, a great step towards the creation of more, and higher quality, independent films. Here is a link to a short video he has posted about the project. Moby Gratis is also the Spotlight feature of the month for the Sundance channel (though I don't think that's actually up on their site quite yet.)


Moby is taking the gratis profits to the dogs...

The direction of the music industry.

At least one person 'gets it'.

absolutely fantastic. If I ever get on production again, I'll hit it up.

I think more musicians should be eager for this kind of exposure!
