Open Source - rough

We stand amidst emerging forms of interaction. Now, communication and interaction can occur simultaneously, opening the gateway for the way to rethink the way we interact. Why innovators of successful web based applications like facebook have flourish is difficult to understand. Open source information has redefined the marketplace towards a global embrace of collaboration. When Facebook decided to open up access to their applications, all other platforms followed suit. Their approach was to build applications that anyone could access and build upon, sharing their profit making information for everyone.

-randomized data
-accessing large bits of information
-Online music collaboration,
Programs like inadaba music allows the user to collaborate with others to create online mash-ups, iteratively through feedback. Like jazz music, a musical conversation emerges creation, and sharing suite Indaba Music, You can import hundreds of drum, bass, guitar, and other audio from Indaba's library, or download tracks you've uploaded to an Indaba Music Session. You can also click the big red record button to record a new track using your computer's audio hardware and save it to an online session. Session Console 2.0 offers multi-track, non-destructive audio editing. In other words, you can load up a bunch of audio files and apply dozens of effects in real-time without affecting the original source files. This makes it easy to create a mix, then a remix, then another remix, and then go back to the original version of the audio to start all over again from scratch.
Open Music is music that is shareable, available in "source code" form, allows derivative works and is free of cost for non-commercial use. It is the concept of "open source" computer software applied to music. Open Music is one of the general responses to the RIAA's and governmental actions against the music industry and its consumers.
"Open Music" can be considered a subset of "free music" (referring to freedom). The differences of philosophy between advocates of "open source software" and "free software" have not surfaced in the community of musicians contributing music to the copyleft commons. This may be due to the relatively recent emergence of copyleft music, as well as to the fact that software development generally involves much more collaboration and derivatization than does music production. It is not clear that open collaboration using copyleft licenses provides any significant advantages in music production, as open source advocates commonly argue is the case for software development.

Web based social mush-up sessions

The sound strata of everyday urban life is a frantic jumble of horns, tire, and people.
