Bon Iver remix contest....

Caught this off a Spotify link today.

"Bon Iver, Bon Iver: Stems Project is a call-to-arms remix contest, which is set to result in a complete fan-inspired recreation of the band's critically acclaimed and most recent album through the art of remixing. Sponsored exclusively by renowned music-streaming service, Spotify, Bon Iver has released all ten of the album's song's individual audio stems and is hosting a remix contest for each right here on Indaba Music. The best remix for each song will be selected by Bon Iver constituents in the end, assembled as a complete album and released exclusively on Spotify for the world to hear."

I might download and have a go just for practice. I do dig this album a lot.

EDIT: Ooh, and when you click on each opportunity you can listen to the stems and some of them say how they were recorded.. neato.

Nice, thanks for the link! That was fun; even just hearing the stems out of the main mix and reading those short descriptions was a good experience. I've been interested in that album's arrangements since it came out. I downloaded stems for the whole album although I only had a go at two of them.

Anyway, here are my quick remixes of Perth and Minnesota, WI (I'm more excited by the latter.)

When I first saw that I thought, "Wow I could stomach Bon Iver for $10,000", but then I changed my mind. The amount of work to be done would have to be a lot, and the likely hood of being picked is slim. Especially for something I really dislike. Good luck to those that do like him!

Frustratingly, I signed up only to find that the deadline for downloading the stems has passed. I just wanted to hear how the songs are put together. If anyone felt like bothering to send these to me in some fashion, I'd be very grateful.

I didn't get all the ones I wanted either. Perhaps a torrent, Mr. Stevens?
