the freesound project
The Freesound Project is a online resource that collects up heads of different sounds, and have them all licenced under the fabulous and very exciting creative commons sampling plus license. This means you sample the work for in songs commercial and non commercial, and use it in performances free of charge. You must give the author credit, and no advertising, and you must make it clear the license that it's covered under if you reuse or distribute the work. You can preview the sounds easily using the website to decide what you want. Love it. I'm having a lot of fun browsing the samples available. Here's a fun example of the kind of stuff you can find there, just press the play icon to hear it.
That's pretty simple as legalese goes for original and cool samples you can grab and use for just about anything. I like this creative commons business and I think that the more music and information that we get out there the better. This kind of project encourages a much more fluid and uncomplicated approach to creating music. That's a very good thing as far as I'm concerned.
