Music is actually a very essential part of my spirituality. I really love listening to new age instrumentals whenever I reflect over the events that has shaped my spiritual character.
Today I would like to teach you how to listen to free music the ethical way. That means we will not be visiting sites that shares music without the consent of the artist. Instead, we will be visiting the artists' official MySpace pages. These are MySpace web pages where tracks are made available for online listening by the artists themselves. You just need a computer with an internet connection (which obviously you already have) and very basic Google search skills.
And since today is Lenten Season, I think it would be great for us to make new age music as example since it is the perfect music suited for reflecting in our spiritual experiences. There's this very good recording label that caters to new age music. The name of the recording label is Real Music. So today we will search for a MySpace page where we can listen to a Real Music artist's music for free.
Before we start, go to the website of Real Music and search their catalog. There you can see the list of Real Music artists with brief description of their music and their discography. Take note of the artist that interests you. In my case, Kevin Kern is among my favorite artists.
Open a new browser and go to Google. Then type "myspace" plus the name of the artist in the Google search bar. For example, to search for Kevin Kern's official MySpace page, type "myspace kevin kern" in the Google search bar. You will next see a long list of search results. The artists official MySpace page shows in the format "<Name of artist> on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures...", so click that one. You will afterwards be directed to the artists official MySpace page, in this case Kevin Kern's official MySpace page. Finally, you will see an audio player on the said web page where there's a list of tracks available for listening... yes, you can now listen to these tracks, absolutely free of charge and guilt!
You can also try visiting the official MySpace pages of other Real Music artists like Johannes Linstead, Nicholas Gunn, Omar Akram, and Mike Howe.
Hope this simple tip helps you in your musical journey.
Oh, I will be posting here the official MySpace pages of my favorite musicians, so always make sure to regularly check things out in this blog.
