Share the music, save the world

Calling any music-makers who'd like to share their music in the name of a good cause.
We're producing more and more videos for the web these days, and we always need royalty-free music to use for the soundtrack. Rather than trawl through the music libraries out there, we thought we'd see if any of you have tracks that you'd like to donate to the cause, in exchange for a credit and a link.

My highlights as ever are catching up with old friends and the glimpses of lunacy: kids playing badmington and ping pong among a teepee field while the grown-ups mudwrestled happily. Someone adopting the "I Count - We Can Stop Climate Chaos" message so enthusiastically he was last seen hugging his bicycle. The band that fused that difficult line between Jewish ska and barn dance funk (it sounds so good!), and secret dance clubs hidden behind innocent-looking shop stalls.

Lighting rigs, speakers, microphones, mixing desks, screens and crates of cables (approximately as heavy as the core of the sun) have been manoeuvred down slippery gangways, onto floating pontoons and set up on the ship's helideck.

Part of the Trident: we don't buy it tour blog
We're all aflurry onboard the Sunrise today, setting up for a musical event with a difference tomorrow evening (Thursday). At 6.30pm tomorrow, the Sense of Sound choir will be onboard, performing a new musical piece composed by Damon Albarn (he of Gorillaz and Blur fame). The piece is called Five Minutes to Midnight, and the performance will represent a peaceful demonstration against renewing Trident and against Britain possessing nuclear weapons. It will be directed by Hannah Eidinow with visuals designed by Robert del Naja of Massive Attack, and contributions from Brian Eno.
What we made: a nuclear wasteland

London rapper Example doesn't just take his music to the edge - he also takes it to deserted, radioactively contaminated post-nuclear zones. Now he's released a documentary about his journey to Chernobyl, explaining why he thinks the future shouldn't be nuclear.
"I don't think anyone who's been here can be for nuclear power," says rapper Example, looking around at empty cots and babies' gas masks in a disintegrating schoolroom near Chernobyl.

Example went to Chernobyl to film a promo video for his new track, What We Made:
