TEDxNYED is looking for music to play between speakers, during the day around the hall, and well, whenever we need it. Embracing free culture, and being sure not to violate copyright, we're looking for musicians or bands that would love to have their music played during our future-thinking conference. Mostly we'll use the music between speakers, but some of it may pipe out over our live stream and may make it into our videos which will be featured on TEDx's YouTube channel, and might even make it to the big show at TED.com.
Do you want to freely license us your music? Do you know someone who does? However it might work, put them in touch with me, leave a comment here, Twitter me, e-mail me at: arvind AT tedxnyed.com - just reach out.
Looking forward to seeing what the network comes back with.
p.s. we're an independently organized TED event.
