03 Sep 09 - I encourage you to give your thumping video a CC license that allows derivative works, so that people can sample your sounds to make music without worrying about copyright stuff. Thanks to metafilter user bigmusic for the suggestion!

About Thumping Guide to New York City

Do you like to thump on railings, lampposts, and bollards as you walk past them? Found some particularly resonant or cool-sounding objects in your wanderings through New York City? Make a short video with sound and post it here! Your contributions will probably be featured on the Thumping Guide to NYC web site.

Your submission should be a very brief video that sets the scene and demonstrates the sound of the object when you hit it with a hand or fist. Publicly accessible objects only, please, and nothing that would get you in trouble! You can also contribute photos, but they should add context to a video. I encourage you to apply a CC license that allows derivative works, so that people can sample your thumps to make music without worrying about copyright stuff.

Please map your video and give a brief description of the location and what you like about the sound. If I use your video on the Thumping Guide web site, it'll credit you by linking back to your flickr name and video page-- if you want to be credited by full name, homepage, etc., just put that in the description of your video.

Feel free to add thumping videos from other cities!

The Thumping Guide to NYC is a project of moonmilk for Conflux 2009.
