Process
I only found out about this contest last Saturday so I just started doing a heavy dance mix and got really sick of it. So, I through it all out last night and started over with the idea that I was back behind the drums in a jazz combo playing So What by Miles Davis. The complete song will be more like 5 minutes with a vibraphone solo and more mixing.
Other Notes
STRESS! This is my first "remix" EVER. And the 3rd composition I've done with computers EVER. I'm a traditionally trained musician and I have little to no experience "playing" computers. So ... I freaked out every night! :) But, that's what made it great... I haven't been pushed like this to learn software and to interpret what I was hearing in my head through an awkward interface on through the world of ones and zeros and out my headphones. I wish I could have had more than 45 minutes to mix the damn thing, too.
