The monome community has come together to create an album of free music, inspired by the recent earthquake in Japan. 

The compilation of original music and sound has been generated in the days since the 9.0 earthquake ravaged Japan. It is released in support of the ongoing rescue and reconstruction efforts. 

We make music and raise awareness in the face of this tragedy because we are musicians and human beings, and in the face of such power, there is nothing that can be done from afar than to stand up and say 'we are aware of your plight, we are with you in spirit, and you are not forgotten'.

It's a free download, but the contributors suggest making a donation to charities supporting relief efforts.
