Since I was the guy who originally proposed this, I guess I should toss in
my twopence, as well.
I threw out this idea merely as a fun exercise...I wasn't thinking of
something as thorough as the recent IDM Remix MP3s/CDr. I didn't think
that there'd be this flood of interest (not that's a bad thing)--I just
wanted a track to remix so I could flex my newly-acquired sampler muscles.
At any rate, I'm happy to see such enthusiasm, and I'm down for
coordinating this however we decide...I've got a good amount of server
space for a webpage, I could probably set Majordomo up on my ISP to run a
list (or we could use Topica or Onelist), and I've got a (slow) CDR at
home.
We could do this two ways:
1. Post MP3's of finished tracks (one per contributor) at a website, and
download those and remix the track.
2. Post samples that each contributer has used to create a track, WITHOUT
posting the finished track (this mimics the methodology that the IDM Remix
Chain used), and each contributer chooses a collection of samples to work
with to create a new track.
These are the people who've expressed interest. Please contact me if you
