Glen Phillips Remix Contest

A few weeks ago, Glen Phillips released the individual tracks for a song from his recent EP for people to "Remix". Since I had just got my new iMac setup with Logic, I played around with it. A little while later, he announced that he was making a competition out of it at a site called www.kompoz.com. By the time the contest was announced, I had already come up with two different mixes. Now I’m not much for the dance remix stuff that most people care about, I wanted to add my own playing. The first remix I came up with is the Piano Mix. Other than some of the original tracks, I recorded a piano part and also a Mellotron flute track. I added lots of reverb on everything, which gave it a spacey feel (Appropriate for the song I thought.) After That I tried my hand at a full band remix. There are several tracks of guitars and keyboard and an upbeat drum loop from Logics loop library. Nothing remains from the original on that track except Glens vocals. Anyway, I doubt very seriously I’ll win (there is some good stuff going on in some of the tracks submitted.) I think at the end of May they pick a few tracks as finalists and let people from the site vote on the winner. We’ll see…

 

That is one thing I will use this blog for: posting any music I might happen to work on. I don’t get much time to do anything these days, but its not unheard of for me to come up with something now and then.
