The Earth Times: MixMatchMusic announced today the launch of its beta music service and dynamic music community, www.mixmatchmusic.com. MixMatchMusic enables musicians to collaborate on, profit from and engage fans with their music. The company is introducing its service at the DEMOfall 08 conference, one of the premier venues for launching
new companies and services.
MixMatchMusic is part of a music industry that touches more than 100 million households in the US alone, according to NAMM, and that generates nearly $47 billion in annual sales from recorded music, concerts and music gear.
Participation in the MixMatchMusic community and use of its MixMaker audio sequencer are free to musicians and casual fans alike. Fees are incurred when stems, works in progress or finished songs are downloaded for sale or other use.
"Indie musicians benefit when their music gets discovered - by other musicians who can use it to complete their musical ideas, and also by casual fans looking for new ideas and new artists. Providing both with the ability to mix and match stems and works in progress transforms music from a passive to active experience," said Feinn.
MixMatchMusic expects to generate revenues from targeted and contextual advertising, participation in the sale of content created on its site and by its community, and also from the sales and licensing of future premium services.

This sounds really cool. I love the idea of collaboration and discovery. Seems like this concept can really take off.
Another site in the film industry is similar called IndieGoGo.com. The site connects independent filmmakers with their fans and allows people to discover new ideas in film. Filmmakers can then raise money to produce their films on this site.
MixMatchMusic could change the music industry, just like IndieGoGo is trying to.
