Well, I am pleased to finally take the wraps off my new project – [Severed Fifth](https://www.severedfifth.com/). The curious can go and [listen to](https://www.severedfifth.com/) or [read](https://www.severedfifth.com/news/2008/06/severed-fifth-launched/) the announcement. If you are interested in free culture and a new music economy, the project may be of interest to you.

In summary – “Severed Fifth is a music project designed to explore how far a musician can take his music with the new economics of the music industry”.

This has been a project that has been brewing in my mind for the last few years, but something that really got kicked into motion a few months ago. The goals and aims of the project are best explained in the announcement, but you should also cast your beady eyes over [the first Severed Fifth blog entry](https://www.severedfifth.com/blog/2008/06/remixing-things/) which adds some more details of the project. You can also keep up to date with the [News](https://www.severedfifth.com/news/) and [Blog](https://www.severedfifth.com/blog/) sections of the site, both which have RSS feeds, and I would also encourage you to also join the [Forums community](https://www.severedfifth.com/forums/). Finally, there is also an [Announcements mailing list](https://mail.severedfifth.com/lists/listinfo/severedfifth-announce) if you prefer updates about Severed Fifth to come to your inbox. 🙂
