OKCOOL

Last Friday we finished the first iteration of our Music Wall application for facebook and it’s now live and spreading through facebook.

The purpose of the facebook Music Wall is to allow forward thinking labels and artists to distribute and market music directly to fans, allowing those people to then send full track music to their friends as gifts. The tracks can then be played from the recipients profile, downloaded, and/or sent on as gifts to their friends…

There are currently two tracks you can send at present – Melancholy Fingers and “Real Me”, both by Pman featuring the vocals of the
lovely Clari T

Both on Ok Cool Recordings, our test label, which we’ll be signing up more artists to soon. Our copyright policy for OK Cool is basically – take it, it’s yours, burn it, share it, play it – just don’t make money from it… Read the mandate on Ok Cool Recordings copyright

Essentially with facebook, you can manage your fans, your events (gigs) and now you can market your music too, driving people to your website and getting your music and you out there… Originally intended for distributing “free” music, the Music Wall can also be used for restricted licenses and marketing too.

Although let’s see how well our test goes first…
