The Creative Commons Music Collaboration Project (CCMCP) provides artists with applications to help them coordinate collaborative audio projects and build a community of practice around learning, sharing, and connecting.
I started developing with the intention of exposing people to music; the idea that everyone should have free unfettered access to all kinds of music. — Yoav Givati, Founder, CCMCP
