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!

In the quest to find new music for Open Music, I often just cruise MySpace looking for artists that I can approach. Often, I don’t really pay attention to what’s on the page. It sometimes goes ‘Load,,, tune,,, skip,,, tune,,, skip… ah!!!!’… and so on. So, having never heard of Lorn before [and I like to think of myself as a bit of a chin-stroker] I thought.. “Cool… Savage beats from the US for Open… People will love this”. I put up a little status update saying ‘New Lorn release on Open’ and then the emails started to arrive… Lots of them. It seems that he is already loved, worldwide, and I was just behind the times…
7&13 is less an EP, and more a beat tape teaser, for something really special to come.
Salad Toss (the preview) is a beast and Lorn rules – End of story.
