New podcast is up
Posted by SHannifin on Thursday, January 10, 2008 (16:04:28) (441 reads)
My new podcast called The Compose Pile is now up and running! In the podcast, I mostly blather about my thought processes while composing. I hope it is interesting to whoever enjoys my music.
The show is still in its rough and early stages, but I hope to make a regular commitment to it, creating a show at least once a month, and more when I have time.
You can subscribe to the show via iTunes, via email, and via a bunch of other RSS aggregators. Hope you enjoy!
Music: Music now in Creative Commons!

I have recently released all of my music works into Creative Commons! I have given up some of the rights that US Copyright Laws automatically grant me. Hence forth, as long as my name (Sean Patrick Hannifin) is credited, you are free to copy, distribute, and use my music in any way you'd like, even for commercial purposes.
I don't think there's much purpose in holding on to all the rights that US Copyright Laws give me; it's highly doubtful any big Hollywood producer will contact me and say something like "Dragon of the Mist is a beautiful piece, and we'd like to pay you millions of dollars to use it in our upcoming feature film!"
Nor do I really feel like spreading false enthusiasm about my music in an effort to market it like bad rappers on MySpace.
I think I'd rather allow anyone to use my music in any way they'd like and see where it ends up. The worse that could happen is nothing, which is what would most likely happen if I just hold on to all my Copyright rights and say "my music is downloadable for personal listening purposes only". The best that could happen is... something.
As long as my name (Sean Patrick Hannifin) is credited, you are free to copy, distribute, and use the above works in any non-commercial way you'd like! When possible, mention of or a link to this website would also be greatly appreciated.
