Friday, February 23, 2007 -- Songweavers, a new music-sharing arena that uses the latest, state-of-the-art Internet technology to enable musicians from around the globe to create music together, has been launched on-line.

The service, which is also available via The Jerusalem Post's Web site at www.jpost.com, allows musicians to get together without physically being in the same location - producing so called "Open Source Music."

Music lovers can also watch the process unfolding in real-time.

In addition to the technological breakthrough, this concept also brings forward other possibilities of international cooperation between people, bridging geographical, political, ethnic and religious gaps.

Songweavers offers a membership status to musicians, enabling them to access all the services provided by the site, while non-member visitors can visit the site, watch the creative process unfold and download all the music available on the site for free.

Songweavers, in addition to operating the Web site, will also operate as music publisher, record company, advertising agency and e-commerce vendor.
