You’ve got the music in you
Welcome, dear visitor. Put yourself at ease, pleased to meet you. We are a team originating mostly from Flanders (North of Belgium) and also France. Today, somewhere in Ghent, Belgium, we will drink a glass to celebrate. Today is a big day indeed, since today, we launch Wikifonia.
We stand before you with a novelty -- a product of imagination, if we may say so. Materializing a years-old dream, we step forward to throw ourselves in the global web race. Our child is young, very young: one day. It still needs our nurturing… and yours. Your music it needs, so as to be able to do what it’s good at: publish your music.
Wikifonia is the new online platform where you can publish and collaborate on sheet music. Feel free to visit, at www.wikifonia.org. It has and will cost us many a night of work, but here it is. From now on, every musician can experience what Wikifonia is about. Visitors can browse through sheet music, and download it freely. Registered users can publish music and comment, again for free. The good news: Wikifonia is the prime example in its kind to be legal. Collaborating with author right organization www.musi©opy.nl, Wikifonia compensates the right holders for the copyrighted sheet music you put online.
Today, we reveal Wikifonia to the world, charged with not even hundred sheets. Touch wood!
So we put our faith in Wikifonia. Even better: we put our faith in you. Our child is your pupil. Visit, come around. Publish. Let us know what you think. We feel blessed with the attention drawn already, through the Creativity to Business Award 2005 of AUGent (Flanders), the FlandersDC fellowship (Flanders again) and the article in the Flemish newspaper De Standaard. If you have five minutes: make your day special, and visit us online. You are expected.
Yours truly,
The Wikifonia Team
