Remixing my cello beatscapes via live for PRIZES
all links have been fixed... now you can see the prize list
Name's Cosmo D. I'm a cellist/producer/improvisor. I make a strange blend of electronic music that could be compared to the Books, Mouse on Mars or Arovane though it's quite funky. Anyway, I've put together a remix contest celebrating the release of my new track, Apothecary Passageway, which is, consequently on a new album of mine, Plantastic Joyage.
the contest deadline is September 9th 2006, but you can still remix the goods even after the contest as ended.
What's my method?
Live is the heart of my operation these days. I'm using Live while playing my cello into the computer running that software. I've got a midi foot controller that controls the various triggered aspects of the software (sample cue-ing, muting, record arming, beat switching, etc.) I've got a small continuous controller strapped to my thigh in case I need to turn stuff up or down. All the audio is routed through a fire-wire mixer. It's a fairly light setup, but it gets done what I need in terms of dynamic, live, improvised sequencing, with my cello-playing thrusting everything forward. I want to create sounds and ideas that are constantly evolving, never repetitive, but still groove-based. Live is helping me achieve this, even as I further hone in the best possible on-stage working strategy.
You can listen to some of my stuff here.
til next time

BTW.. that link to that track to be remixed doesn´t work. I get a 404. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"
I just noticed this post, but I heard about the remix contest a while back on myspace and put something together for it. Never heard back from cosmo, but I figured I'd share it up here anyway since some people said they liked it quite a bit.

Hey,
The remix contest entries have been decided, now we just have to formally announce the standout entries via my next Boogie Otis Podcast I'm working on now. I got busy on my end with other music related happenings, but the contest is still in the works and I expect to have the winners announced by next week.
