LOS ANGELES, CA (Top40 Charts) On the heels of
Linkin Park and Open Labs' launch of Windows PC music software StageLight, the band's founder
Mike Shinoda composed and distributed a brand new song file direct to StageLight users via BitTorrent "as a thank you to all our early adopters." StageLight is designed to give virtually anyone the ability to create a song they can share in minutes. With built-in support for the world's leading social sound platform - and priced at just $9.99 at www.openlabs.com, StageLight is poised to open up the world of music creation to more people than ever before.
StageLight is a great solution for everyone on Windows 7 and 8. The software allows all levels of musicians to learn how to create and share their music on a PC.
Linkin Park has not only used Open Labs products for the last four years in the studio and on stage, they have also been intimately involved in creating the current and future software product.
Mike Shinoda, co-lead vocalist and producer of Linkin Park, said, "I would recommend StageLight to anyone. It doesn't matter if you're just starting or a touring professional. It's the perfect tool for anyone wanting to create or perform live."

He invites users to listen and manipulate it in their own version and add to it. Mike will be appearing at Dell World in Austin,
Texas this week to do a live demo of the program.

Linkin Park Edition product line. It will include the StageLight software with customized and exclusive
