Between 6 and 7 May 2012 (depending on locality**) the beta version of www.utopicmusic.com will be launched. It is a new completely free portal dedicated to independent music, released with Creative Commons licenses.

This site will be a geolocated search engine for music addressed to artists, listeners and clubs, with some relevant features of social networking.

Everybody who is interested in music should have the possibility to discover new music, without limits, technological filters or legal bans. Searching must be easy, funny, effective. On UtopicMusic, all artists that will sign in will have the same chances to be listened to by a virtually infinite audience, regardless of the number of “friends” or of the physical place they come from. London, Tokyo, Milan music scenes will be very easily reachable, as well as any small provincial music scene anywhere in the world. 

On UtopicMusic it will be possible to create events exactly where they will take place. Any user, either registered or not, will be able to access this useful information without being bombarded with notifications. Listeners can create personal playlists, and also directly influence popularity charts that will gradually appear on the platform, with the increasing number of registered users.

UtopicMusic invites all the musicians to sign in as Artists an upload their own music, by choosing one of the six Creative Commons licenses available

 UtopicMusic invites all music lovers to sign in as Listeners and all club or festival owners to sign in as Clubs, seizing the opportunity to create new geolocated events.

 A new utopic community is arising.

Some bands mark an era.

Some bands last just for the time of a single before disappearing into thin air.

Some bands, after several years from their break-up, still get themselves talked about and motivate other bands to dedicate them a tribute. 

This and (a lot) more are the Scisma.

The most important tracks of Paolo Benvegnù's ex-band are played by groups like Il disordine delle cose, Public, Dilaila, Es,  Andrea Carboni and many others.

If you don't know  Scisma this is the opportunity to plug a big gap, if they are already in your "record library" this is a very special opportunity to turn clock hands back and to fully enjoy these gems that shine in theirs own light even if time has passed.

There are some little havens of good music that always amaze for brave but winning choices.
People that struggle in order to always have an high level for music played by these "fighter" labels, with no limits on genre, but with the main aim of proposing something interesting and engaging.

Shyrec is one of them, it throws you in a music universe made of big excitement, hard work and very good music.
Bands as Zabrisky, GuruBanana, The White Mega Giant or Wora Wora Washington are an example of this: no trivial choices, but a whole of little gems.

Let their notes lull you and then go exploring this heart-made "music reserve".
