The world would be a very different place without Kevin MacLeod's music

Fantastic. We need more content and art that is free for creative (re)use. I think this is called Free culture or Libre culture.

I think not only computer code is better when it's FLOSS, but every form of art greatly benefits from remixing, people taking something and pushing it forward. Using art as a from of debate.

And this works especially well without additional shackles like restrictive copyright or being proprietary.

This is one of my favourite things about tracker music. It's obviously a lot more complicated to share the full source files for music that uses a workflow involving paid tools or that is complex to replicate. The de facto openness of the tracker format is something that is unlikely to be seen again, but rendering stems / sharing patches / encouraging sampling are all still valuable.

I'd love to see a healthy foss music scene that encorages building on one another's work and would definitely participate. Music is way more interesting when we don't have to fight economic territorialism to make it, as complicated a path as that has become.
