==About The Musikians==
 
 
Users of Musikchan collectively make tracks, submit those under the name The Musikians and then publish it all for free. Everyone is free to express themselves however they wish musically, given there is at least some effort to be heard in the music.
 
 
The purpose of The Musikians is simple: freedom of expression, artistic growth, capturing the moment or even just having fun messing around. It is an outlet for all artists out there, no matter the style, skill or experience. This makes for an ideal situation for musicians to practise and receive feedback, have their music heard or simply create an enjoyable track for the listeners.
 
 
There is a new The Musikians release once in a while. The release rate is determined solely by contributors. Visit [http://musikchan.com Musikchan's /music/ board] for information about the '''current release''', such as a '''link for submission''', the '''album progress''' and more. Links to the discography of The Musikians can be found at the top of this page.
