Is it possible for a musician to publish their music in a way so that everybody else can do with it whatever they like?
If so, are there already websites that deal with only this type of music? Like there is pexels.com for images?

Yes. This happens all the time, and sometimes sounds come from places like BBC.

Yes and no. People put up websites and other things that let you download music, but most of it isn't as organized as the free stuff for artists. It also seems like it is more decentralized and requires a bit more work, sometimes hours of work. It is quicker to look at photos than it is to listen to music and sound clips.
Sources: Spouse creates somewhat experimental electronic music, and uses free-to-use sounds alongside his own stuff. I've watched him sit for hours sorting through sounds and clips and music. Also, youtubers often use such music and link to it in their descriptions (Steve the Bartender, for example, and Im pretty sure Binging with Babish does something similar, or at least did at one time).
There's a lot of different mediums which supports sharing and searching for media under different CC licenses, I've tagged a majority of my SoundCloud releases for example with great success.
If we're talking about a whole site dedicated for openly licensed music and audio, freesounds.org comes to mind.
Both you and the other person have the rights to that audio and platforms like YouTube have put no effort into giving us a solution to resolve this “edge case”.
The whole thing is wack, can't imagine licensing some code under GPLv3 and turns out that does not apply in some country.
I haven't found what I'm looking for but I want to share my music like software, source code and all, easily modifiable and reusable
I miss what.cd originals, what were those called?
It was really inspiring to see people sharing their own music like that
Bandcamp has this feeling in spirit with their donation based option
SoundCloud had that spirit before Go
Splice is cool but seems specific and not very open
Not music but, LibrVox[2] has something special going
Won't all music coming out today eventually be in the public domain?

They're under rather strict licensing terms though, no reselling as samples even if they're heavily modified for example.
