Who Are We?
Launched in November 2008, ThisIsOpenMusic is an open source music label run by musicians. We operate from Brighton, UK. Open is run by Piratio but is greatly helped by John Cohen & Leo Piggot.
We don’t believe in the conventional record label. OpenMusic’s objective is to release great music and sound projects from around the world, in a free, share-friendly and re-distributable manner. We encourage you to redistribute individual tracks or whole releases via sharing links, Peer-to-Peer networks, MP3 Blogs and any other form you see fit, as long as you respect the rights of the respective Artists and follow the rules of the Creative Commons Sharing License.
Love Us!

Farewell to Autoplate

Image by Fubuki.
After nearly 8 years and 50 releases, old man free label Autoplate, the noise / ambient / non / other sub-label of renowned open sourcers Thinner, is sadly taking a permanent snooze. Roll through the archives for some quality musics and some pretty unque animated ‘covers’. Also worth checking out from the Thinner is Thinnerism, a music blog in the same spirit as our Disussions section. Check it!
Well done to all involved; you’ve left a great project behind.
Here’s a few Open favourites.
