Freedom to Share Remix Event

Anji Bee has contributed an accapella to the big ccMixter Freedom to Share remix event going on right now. The community remix site is responding to recent attacks made by ASCAP against the Creative Commons license concept. This event seeks to “demonstrate the power of creative collaboration using Creative Commons licenses.” If you’d like to get involved, you can create your own remix using any of the Freedom to Share accapellas, including Anji Bee’s “We Are Connected” vocal. A number of completed mixes are already available for download and reuse in podcasts, vidcasts, radio, and various other non-commercial purposes. You have until August 28, 2010 to upload your remix!

Personally, I’ve been thrilled by the interactions I’ve had with musicians and other vocalists working within the CC format, and have no problem with making some of my work available under the Attribution-NonCommercial license. In  2007, I contributed vocals to 2 songs on the Creative Commons free download album, Adrift, by Moosefrog and in 2008, I contributed vocals to 2 songs on the massive CC Asia Band project, CABACA. I have since made several other vocals and spoken words available on ccMixter.

Anji Bee on New 7 Day Visa Album

The brand new 7 Day Visa album, Buenos Aires, includes one track featuring Anji Bee. “Que Quiero” is a lovely reworking of a Creative Commons collaboration with Moosefrog from 2007, originally titled “En la Oscuridad.” Jamahl Richardson of 7 Day Visa (and The Shanghai Restoration Project live band) created a completely new arrangement of Bee’s Spanish language lyrics set to his original music, which was inspired by his recent trip to the cosmopolitan capitol of Argentina. Wistful, dreamy, and sensual, this chillout tune is sure to set your mind wandering with memories of warm, lazy days filled with the vibrancy of Summer. Other special guests on this album include German Alejandro Pla, Joseph Allan Johnson, Matthew Szemela, and Lucas Cantor. You can check out “Mano y Mano (ft. Matthew Szemela)” on The Chillcast #224: Chill Favorites. 7 Day Visa also produced two excellent remixes for the recent Lovespirals release, Love EP, both of which you can download free from Lovespirals’ Bandcamp Page. You can also check out the Chillcast Artist of the Week feature on 7 Day Visa for the album, Tokyo, which includes a free download of “Sakura Stroll.”

New Music From Anji Bee

There’s lots of new Anji Bee tunes in the works with a variety of musical collaborators, and I’m pretty excited about everything that’s going on! First and foremost, I’d like to officially announce that I am currently in the process of recording the first Anji Bee branded album. Woot! After a decade of releasing one-off singles containing my lyrics and vocal arrangements with various artists from all over the world, I thought it was high time I collected together all of my favorite ideas into one perfected package. You can expect to hear many of your favorite tunes from over the years, plus some brand new tracks co-written with my longtime musical partner, Ryan Lum, of Lovespirals. We’re working more closely than ever to bring my songs to life in the most polished versions possible. You have no idea how hard it is for me to keep these tunes under wraps…

Aside from this massive project, I have also contributed vocals/lyrics to new songs by Falling You, The Grooveblaster, and Karmacoda for their next albums. I also have a new single with Nick Murray, called “Have I Known You,” coming out on Loverush Digital this summer. I understand there will be several remixes by other dance music producers on the single, but I don’t know who yet! And speaking of remixes, several new ccMixter-related songs have come out recently using my vocals from the CC Asia Band project. One of these was just released on a 2-CD set by Buddha Bar DJ, Benoit Cassar, for the 2nd installation of his compilation series, Danai. “Buddhahood (ft. Anji Bee)” is included on Danai, Vol. 2 (CD 1: Camera Rolling), available now on iTunes, eMusic, and Amazon. Then there’s the “Floating Buddha Mix” by ccMixter producer, Vo1k1 of “Crossing the Pond,” which is a free download. The final collab I’d like to mention is an amazing rework of my vocals from the 2007 song, “En La Oscuridad,” that I recorded for Creative Commons band, Moosefrog. Jamahl of 7 Day Visa created a very sexy new version called “Que Quiero” for his new album, Buenos Aires, due out this summer.

And last, but not least, I’ve been wrapping up work on a big remix project for Lovespirals which should see the light of day in a few weeks. The ‘Love EP’ will contain remixes by a variety of indie artists (and friends) including Chill Factor-5, Divasonic, Xurba, 7 Day Visa, Falling You, and Soul Whirling Somewhere. This is a very unique remix set which moves between upbeat dance mixes and moody ambient versions of this track from Lovespirals’ new album, Future Past.

Free Anji Bee Ringtone Set From MacMost

Just in time for the holidays; the gift of free Anji Bee ringtones! I met up with MacMost vidcast host, producer and blogger, Gary Rosenzweig, at the New Media Expo earlier this year and we got to talking about music. I was tickled when he said he’d like to feature me as the first in a series of podsafe musicians for his popular MacMost Ringtone collection.

Los Angeles artist Anji Bee, known for her smooth vocals and music podcasts, can now be heard whenever someone calls you on your iPhone. She is featured on the latest set of ringtones from MacMost.com, the Mac news, tutorial and iPhone content Web site.

MacMost began providing free iPhone ringtones earlier in 2008 as an alternative to pay-per-song downloads at the iTunes music store or illegal music downloads elsewhere. There are now 15 sets of ringtones in the MacMost collection. They feature everything from holiday sounds to short, original musical creations.

“One of the ideas we had for the free ringtones was to use them to promote artists,” said Rosenzweig. “We knew Anji Bee from her work as a podcaster and thought it would be perfect to begin with her.”

The Anji Bee Ringtone Set features sections of Anji’s work with various other artists, as well as her podcast theme and vocal recorded specifically for the ringtone set.

It was fun creating loops of songs from my musical catalog in various electronica genres. I made a mix of ambient vocal passages, lyrical snippets, and spoken word from my collaborations with Bitstream Dream, Chukimai, Kou Chou Ching, The Grooveblaster, Lovespirals, Moosefrog, Snoblind, and War-N Harrison (of Hungry Lucy). Hope you’ll find something ya’ll dig!

Download Chillcast Top 20 of 2007 MP3

Hard to believe 2007 is over! Tons of great podsafe music was released last year, making it tough to come up with just 20 of my favorite songs! As I mention on the podcast, I limited my selection to PODSAFE tracks from 2007 that were previously played on The Chillcast. There were many great special-permissions tracks I played as well, but I limited myself to songs that every podcaster can legally play on their show. If you dig the music, be sure to support the artists by buying their CDs or downloads. And feel free to comment on my selections on the blog!
