Blue Dove Music, an international, Internet-based group of musicians and recording industry pros, released a collaborative music CD entitled September Rising. The group was created by professionals chatting on the MOTU User Group, MOTU-Mac.

“More than 100 musicians, composers and audio engineers from 13 countries, collaborating almost exclusively over the Internet, donated their time and talents to create the moving, challenging music featured on September Rising,” said Blue Dove spokesman Trond Bjornard.

The members of Blue Dove donated all the composition, performance, recording, audio mastering, graphic design, marketing and distribution, and MOTU donated the funds to manufacture the CDs. Innevi, an Internet provider, helped out by donating Website hosting and technical assistance. Anichini, an importer, manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer of luxury accessories, provided support for Web-related costs.

September Rising CDs can be purchased at www.CDBaby.com; audio samples are available at www.SeptemberRising.com. All proceeds will be donated to the N.Y. Firefighters 9-11 Disaster Relief Fund.
