Sounds Right is a music initiative to generate royalties from the sounds of planet Earth to fund conservation projections.
At least 50% of royalties from songs that feature NATURE and 63% of royalties from ambient nature sounds will be donated to biodiversity conservation and restoration projects. The project is overseen by the UN.
Ellie Goulding, Brian Eno, and V of BTS already have songs out.
#NowListening to Marc Emery - “Listening Music/Anfang” (reissue 2022 of 1974-75 recordings). Really loving the gentle lilt of this mostly instrumental LP this morning. A cool archival reissue that would appeal to fans of the Tompkins square label guitar soli retrospectives. Great #guitarInspiration too. Once I’m fully over this cold I’m hoping to get back to playing.
Its Wednesday a time for sharing great female music artists. My pick this week is:
Rising Appalachia is an American Appalachian folk music group, led by multi-instrumentalist sisters Leah Song and Chloe Smith. Their music is deeply rooted in the landscapes of Atlanta, New Orleans, and the southern Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia. What distinguishes Rising Appalachia is their ability to blend a diverse range of instruments and styles. Their musical palette spans from banjos and fiddles to djembe, balafon, congas, tablas, kalimbas, beatbox, and even didgeridoo. This distinctive combination gives rise to a musical mosaic that seamlessly interweaves elements of world, folk, and soul music.
