Editing Sam Grisman Project

The Sam Grisman Project is a [[rotating band]] led by [[Sam Grisman]].  Their live shows are performed using a unique audio practice, with a mix consisting entirely of strategically-placed microphones on stage, creating an organic, campfire-like sound.

They are known for recording and releasing many of their shows direct to the public using a copyleft license.  This practice has gained the band significant attention in the [[cypherpunk]] community, and prompted a large community of fans to archive, share, and embed their shows.

Grisman, who sings and plays upright bass in the project, is also the song of mandolinist [[David Grisman]].

Instead of using a [[Creative Commons] license, Grisman himself drafted a [[open license]] for the project's offerings, similar to [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ BY-NC-ND]. It reads:

<blockquote>
We, Sam Grisman Project, are a four piece band who just finished our inaugural tour as this iteration, and we are writing today giving our permission to archive our shows for public download and noncommercial, royalty-free circulation.

We will be the primary uploaders of content as we are internally recording audio of all the shows we are doing-- though we do not want to limit fans who may wish to upload their recordings as well.

Best,
Sam Grisman
bandleader/bass player for Sam Grisman Project
