MixMatchMusic has everything you need to connect and collaborate with other musicians, a cool way to cultivate and engage with fans, and a system of rights and legal protections to make sure you profit from your music, and a cool way to cultivate and engage with fans.

We're bringing artists together from around the world to collaborate on existing music and to create Great new music. MixMatchArtists are contributing to a growing library of stems and songs, so you can find just the ska beat, slide riff or even complete song you've been hearing inside your head. You can also find the sitar player or the rad vocal stylist you just have to have to complete your idea, or even a promoter to help sell it.

MixMatchArtists are using our online sequencer, the MixMaker, to draft songs, contribute or sample stems, and to exchange high quality music with each other... and with you.

We've fueled the community and built the technology so you can collaborate any way you want. For instance, upload some random stems or incomplete ideas that haven't quite coalesced into a song, and then sit back and watch how other artists run with your stuff, manipulate or add it to their compositions to create something entirely new. Or jump in and contribute to the global musical thought pool, actively seeking out specific artists to collaborate on songs in progress or to co-write and produce entirely new art. Pretty much whatever moves you.

Your key to online collaboration is the MixMatchMusic MixMaker, a free sequencer that is simple-to-use yet offers much of the power and many of the features of professional Digital Audio Workstations. With the MixMaker, you get the collaboration tool you need to sample, experiment with and create great music.

It's online collaboration created by musicians, for musicians.

You make music because you want to. Make money from it because you can.

MixMatchMusic makes it possible on a bunch of levels. For instance, sell your song or every part of it, as stems. Allow other musicians to use your art to complete their songs, or fans to download it for their slideshows or as ring tones. Contribute to a band or hundreds of bands, all at once.

We've built a Legal framework to ensure that you, and not some giant corporation, profit from your music. This means you and you co-authors get 85 cents on every single dollar, whether another artist is using your stem to complete a song they sell, or a fan is using your stuff as a backdrop to their slide show.

We help promote discovery by making sure listening is free. But downloads trigger payment -- it's your art, you might as well profit from it.

The system is built for transparency - which means you get a complete accounting every step of the way, know who is using your music and for what purpose, and get paid reliably and regularly.

Your audience is online. Duh. Artists are relying on MixMatchMusic to keep a step ahead of a changing music industry, by using it to both cultivate a new online audience and engage existing fans.

Posting your songs and stems to the MixMatchMusic library is a sure fire way to connect with serious music fans who might not know about your music otherwise. The MixMatchMusic community is where they go to discover new music and where you can go to be discovered by them and cultivate a new audience.

Once fans discover you, keep them engaged in your music by getting them involved in it. The MixMatchMusic Remix Wizard gives fans the ability to remix, manipulate and become a part of your music... it's not just for Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails anymore. The Remix Wizard is a lightweight music mash up widget that any artist with a web or MySpace page can easily download, and that any fan with a fast Internet connection and a browser can use to become one with the music. Sweet.

Getting started is easy. Just join the community and become an official MixMatchArtist, which includes agreeing to the (non-exclusive) rights framework that will ensure you (and every other artist) gets paid for your art.

You can download the RemixWizard here - it's a lightweight widget that will take just a few minutes to download. Get it on your site, MySpace or other social networking site page and start engaging your fans.

It's that simple. Get busy
