Θέμα: Ccmixtape - creative commons Greece Προς: <jhweitzmann [ at ] mx [ dot ] uni-saarland [ dot ] de> Greetings from Creative Commons Greece! We are really excited for the CC Mixtape for our 10th birthday! Here in Greece there are quite a few bands, Djs and musicians that use Creative Commons! One of our favorites that has gained a lot of popularity from Jamendo is StrangeZero . StrangeZero (http://www.strangezero.gr/) are SteliosZero & Io-V, from Greece, traveling with machines, dreams and whispering screams. They first met in 1984. In 1990 they started writing music under various names using just a sampler and an Amiga 500. They recorded rain sounds and sounds from the places they traveled to, combined with breakbeats, acid tunes and guitars. In many tracks they used vocals and all these tracks still exist in audio tapes & DAT.After some years Stelios worked as a radio producer while Io-v went off to Beograd to study medicine. They met again in 1998, when they decided to start an electronic band. The band name “StrangeZero” basically came out to give a meaning to all minorities, usually referred to as “Zero’s“, and explain that a ZERO can become something when it’s strange…it can have an identity. Their music is Influenced by old Harthouse & Eye Q rec. days, strong acid 303 trips and experimental ambient sounds, they created their own sounding. Experimenting with all kind of music kinds, they released 6 albums and 2 EP in Jamendo (creative commons licenses, free discography Internet site) while in parallel they released some of their tracks on various commercial CD’s by Sony BMG and TSOE and wrote music for various movie documentaries. Last June Strangezero took part in our Creative Commons Event on how creators can use Open Licensing and make available their work. We hope you like them and add them to your CC Mixtape! Also if you would like we have more choices for the mixtape.
