Around 400,000 new sound recordings from 1922 and earlier are now in the public domain. But what can be done with them? The Library of Congress's Citizen DJ offers one option. It collects free sound recordings in a browsable database and allows anyone to create music with them. Brian Foo, the artist and computer scientist behind the project, joins us to discuss.
Library of Congress innovator-in-residence Brian Foo has created a free-to-use audio program for the Library of Congress that invites the public to remix their vast collection of audio recordings and moving images collections.
The Library of Congress is launching a tool this summer that will make its massive audio collection of free to use and reuse works available to DJs, hip hop artists, and others to sample in their music for free. The project is called "Citizen DJ." It’s led by the Library of Congress’ “innovator in residence,” Brian Foo. Foo talks about how the project works and the music he’s already been able to make from the library’s archive. Attorney Damien Riehl and coder Noah Rubin explain how they are creating algorithms to document every melody that can exist and putting those melodies into the public domain to minimize copyright infringement cases and give more freedom to artists.

Brian first came to my attention with the “Data Driven DJ” project which is an amazing set of 10 tracks of various “experiments” in tunes made from data sonification techniques. He is an artist and computer scientist living and working in New York City. He is a data visualization artist at the American Museum of Natural History, where he communicate scientific data and research through interactive digital and physical exhibits. In his personal work he combines music, data, and algorithms as the Data-Driven DJ.
