It’s 31 Days of Free Music month at Podcasting News – all month we’re highlighting free music podcasts, and exploring the range of ways that people are using podcasts to share music.

We’ve looked some fairly traditional radio-style shows, like KEXP’s live performances podcast, and some podcasts that explore using podcasting as a new way to distribute music, like the Daily Ambience project.

Today’s featured podcast is Cinema Du Lyon, a podcast project of Funksters and UK Podcaster Association founders Dean Whitbread and Mark Crook. The podcast is a free music podcast that is interesting not just because of the music, but because the music might not exist if not for the podcast.

The Cinema Du Lyon project features experimental ambient soundscapes in podcast and video podcast form. While Cinema Du Lyon creates music that may have a limited audience, by sharing it as a podcast, its creators are finding an audience around the world.

Here’s their description:

Cinema du Lyon are not from Lyon … they are from your head, the way films and TV effect our lives all the time. Playback from scenes witnessed on the screen. The dialogue leeches into our living narratives, taking it over at times. The found scraps of speech resemble toast crumbs upon an audio duvet, the harshness and the irritability, the sweetness and the sadism.
