The site explained. Sort a kind a.
iBeat - Open Music follow a couple of simple premises:
A belief in sharing creativity and creating transparency.
A belief that artists need to do something to get the music industry back on track, on the beat or whatever - in fact they are the only ones that can.
A belief that creativity (in particular music) doesn’t need only be free, but open.
So we built this: a large high quality non-profit audio archive - and an open music community.
Sharing and collaboration is the future. But it needs to be organised. No sense in drowning in useless shit material. Or, at least that’s our view. That’s why we serve moderated material. If you want quantity (and still an amount of quality), consider visiting awesome sites like Freesound, Sampleswap maybe even Soundsnap.
We figure the industry and the consumers/music lovers of the world, should to come together – and we believe the artists are the only ones that can manage this. Shaping a sustainable business model for the music industry is an artist community mission: One of the most cluttered niches on the internet needs a bit of transparency and it needs some focus on talent and content. Some come get your ass in gear.
iBeat is a pervasive platform for producers, singers and hobbyists alike. The dedicated team behind iBeat delivers the high quality audio based on their own unstoppable creativity, but indeed also based on user input and feedback - so please keep feeding us!
Our target is the growing commercial and non-commercial music production community, providing all original, hassle free music loop archive and production resource; a one stop moderated production library as well as premium news pointer, and general resources gatherer, for the music community. With a simple, yet unused, promise of taking our users seriously, ideals are back and content is the king.
