The CC-Zero-Project is an ambitious project that collects musicological worth protecting analogue and digital sound recordings. Our goal is the free availability of public domain related content like music, sound or voice recordings.

After my activities as an entrepreneur between 1988 and 1998 in the film- and music industry, I have founded after the millenium an Internet Radio Service to broadcast parts of my music collection which I built up since 1977. The focus was on the purchase of rarities that are significant in musicology. The collection contains today 2'000 phonograph cylinders, 45'000 78 rpm gramophone records, 25'000 vinyl discs, 15'000 compact discs and 500 laserdiscs. After long time spending to discuss with the collecting societies to create a contract for amateur broadcasters, the next step was to set up the Swiss Internet Radio Association. In 2009 I founded with a friend (expert of copyright law) the Public Domain Project, today a music archive and online library with 35'000 gramophone records. I left the Swiss Foundation Public Domain in the end of 2019.
