A very special experiment!

Deadline: April 18th, 2008
Track name: Various
Original genre: Experimental/IDM

Prizes: just for fun (and remix science)

Other: Have you ever remixed a remix? On the “remixin project” this is what you’re gonna do, multiple times. It’s an experiment called “the evolution of remix”. You’re asked to remix other musicians’ remixes and then you’ll have your remix remixed by others again. How are the seed files going to change during the process? Will the artificial procedure culminate in acoustic trash or in truly amazing artwork? Finally it depends on you…
