You hold in your hands a couple of half-finished (maybe three-quarter-finished) versions of a track that I’m working on. It’s a bit ruff, it’s not near final mix stage, there are some pops and clicks and timing errors, and a whole lo of EQ needing doing. But it’s kinda there. Let’s not wait for perfection; the time to play is now. You wanna remix me? I wanna remix you. Swap?
Do what you will with it. Steal some samples, do an alternate mix, add some layers, take away some layers. Don’t feel obliged to finish it, do as much or little as you’d like. Make a single tweak, or a million. Make it wholly your own, or just polish sone rough patches.
Whan you’ve finished, send it back to me on the USB stick (or even download - I’m happy to download stuff) and we can keep swapping it until it’s finished, or declare it done right there. And if you’d like, you should do the same thing I just did - send me the splits off a track of yours, finished or otherwise, dump it on the same stick and let the game continue starting from your material. Why not?
There are some people I’d like to work with, and there are some tracks that I’d like to have someone respond to in some way apart from saying “oh, that’s nice”. I feel these could be combined. For each of the people I would like to do stuff with, I choose an unfinished piecs from my repertoire that might take their fancy, and I put it on a USB for swapping fun. There might be a few double-ups on the material, we’ll see at the end.
There are some creative commons licensed samples in here. These are listed in the “freesound attribution.txt” There are also just maybe a coupla teensy little non-creative commons licensed samples that snuck in there. Let’s not talk about that.
The composition I have licensed under creative commons attribution in general and as such you should raid it for loops and tweaks and such in your own projects, so long as I am credited.
The finished product can be licensed however we decide. I’d be inclined to release the versions as reasonable-quality MP3s on soundcloud.com, and upload ultra-high-qualitastic finished ones for sale on bandcamp if we get exciting enough. But whatever.
Now, swap on. and post the result to
