On this page is where you will find an interactive list of all of the maritime music recordings that were produced by this site’s listed Groups and Solo Performers or the Venues/Events that release commemorative CDs for each season of their gatherings. Each recording will be linked to an e-commerce site such as Bandcamp, Amazon or Apple Music so you will be able to buy the amazing music produced by these musicians and festivals.
Of course, the world has seen quite an evolution of formats for portable music recordings. Vinyl records were widely available, but were largely replaced with cassette tapes, then compact discs – only to be making a surprising comeback in recent years! Of course digital downloads are quite the thing today, as some musicians have given up entirely on producing music on a physical device! Some groups may want to offer video recordings as well, and we’ll see everything from VHS tapes to DVDs to BlueRay discs being offered.
The MMDI team has been focused on getting the Mark II version of this site ready for release. In addition to the challenges of building a working interface, there is the additional duty to populate the site with as much information as possible before turning the world loose on our curated, maritime music information repository. We decided that the Recordings functionality would have to wait until after everything else was working. Your patience is greatly appreciated as we continue to move this great project forward.
