Prior to October of last year, there wasn't a thread that we could legally post music on. Now we have one--this one. I, for one, am glad.
I don't remember NoiseTrade
freebies ever being posted. I don't know if I will keep this up, but I am committing to post the
free music offered periodically by NoiseTrade, for at least a short while.
Don't get your hopes up that we're talking here about music from musical stars. These are all going to be pieces from up-and-comers--new artists to one degree or another. But some of you probably like to explore new music and would be glad to know about these.
If I quit posting these after a while, at least you will become familiar with NoiseTrade's
freebies and, if you're interested enough, find them for yourselves. And you can get on a mailing list of NoiseTrade's where you can be informed of new
free offerings by them, if you would like to be.
I think that you have to have an account with NoiseTrade in order to download stuff from them. The music is
free, but NoiseTrade will ask you to leave a tip on a voluntary basis.
Artist: Ben Abraham.
Similar Artists: Bear's Den, Daughter, Half Moon Run, Lucy Rose.
Genre: Singer/Songwriter: Pop.
An Introduction to the Artist:
What do you do when you want to get the attention of GRAMMY nominated songstress, Sara Bareilles? If you’re taking a page from Ben Abraham’s playbook, you’d post a video entitled, “To Sara, From Ben” on YouTube one day and find yourself in a co-writing session with her (“This Is On Me”) on another. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Abraham first found his voice writing songs whilst working in a hospital. Since then he’s toured with Emmylou Harris and released his debut record, Sirens
, a musical documentary of the loss, longing, and growth that carried him from hospital halls to performance halls. Get to know Ben Abraham with this 5 track NoiseTrade compilation, which includes selections from Sirens
plus three exclusive live and from-the-vault demo recordings.

Genre: Pop: Rock.
An Introduction to the Artist:
Recorded in Nashville's historic RCA Studio A, Roger Jaeger’s Start Over
is a collection of pop/rock songs dealing with surrender and new beginnings. They are emotionally-charged, musically explorative songs nuanced by sitar, helmed by warm and inviting vocals. Jaeger's combination of songwriting and sitar takes us to places we haven't anticipated and leaves us wanting more.
