Guest variations
My podcast is currently doing a "theme and variations" thing. I made a theme from sounds of my mancala game board and starting composing variations on that theme. I'll stop soon, I promise, but I wanted to get the Wise and Learned Internet's contribution first.
Here is the deal: Go to my website and select the Mancala Samples page. Download as many of those things as you would like, make a media piece out of it, and send it to me (my email is on my bio page). I'll put it up on the podcast during March to celebrate my first year of podcasting. If I get a lot, I might even make an installation of the whole project sometime.
At any rate, these pieces should be free for distribution. I will not pursue any commercial applications of these pieces. This is just meant to be a fun experience and a means of getting lots of sounds flowing around the universe. If you want to use my samples in any commercial work, you are free to do so. They are also up on the Freesound Archive. Use them, dismiss them, do whatcha like with them.
That is all there is to it. Have fun with the sounds.
