weird... you know how i've been preoccupied with breaking down radiohead songs and remixing them on garage band??? well, radiohead actually announced yesterday (via facebook) that they are having a contest for people to remix their songs. they are actually offering "stems" (the individual elements of a song) off of itunes. people can download all "stems" (bass guitar, etc.) off of itunes, and mess with them on garage band. radiohead is even making the material really accessible by delivering the stems in garage band format!
weird... am i picking up some kind of radiohead signal? i mean, i have been working on this stuff in odd moments for a little while now...
it's fascinating how radiohead is taking control of the changing scenario of the music industry, ironically by giving up control. i mean, take a look at the way they released "in rainbows," with a VOLUNTARY payment for the album. and their video contest on aniboom. and now this. i suppose one of the greatest rewards for artists and fans in the new age lies in remixing and reinterpreting work... hearing your own music through the filter of other minds...
