 We hope you’ll join us for our third sonic installation and remix event for the annual international dream conference! The Deep Roots Sonic Installation Event mixes the voices of dreamers sharing their Deep Roots- themed dream with our music to be streamed as a soundscape in the art exhibition space during the annual IASD dream conference being held this year at the medieval Abbey at Rolduc, Netherlands June 8 - 12. Roots are not in landscape or a country, or a people, they are inside you. — Isabel Allende Like the roots of a tree, our roots connect us to what nurtures and grounds us, providing foundational support for growth and expansion. What we are rooted to emerges in our dreams. Dreams of people, places and things that form us. The wisdom of elders passed down in liminal narratives. Transcendent dreams that illuminate connections with clarity. Deep roots are the ancestors. They are with us, carried in our bodies, our beliefs. Our ancestors expand beyond our familial lineage into the lineage of our communities, our nations, our humanity. Our deepest roots are an ephemeral umbilicus that connect us to the great mothers, Earth and her oceans, her lands, deserts and mountains, streams and lakes, plains and canyons. Our deep roots are dendrites — limbs of extension, expansion and connection that connect us to the universe. Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world…The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it. — Rumi This dream-based collaboration enhances the dream experience as something new emerges through the creative process.

Intrigued by the new upload an image feature.
How does it work? (I don’t see an upload button.) Size guidelines? Any guidelines? How do you (the admins) envision it’s use? |

Great questions Speck.Here are some responses:
Quote: SpeckIntrigued by the new upload an image feature. How does it work? (I don’t see an upload button.) You need to be logged into Mixterplus to see the upload button. It is one of the options for “Uploads”. Size guidelines? Any guidelines? Guidelines (also posted at Mixterplus)as follows: * Ideal size for YouTube videos is 1920 x 1080 pixels with 300 DPI * If you want your image to be considered for album cover art, the ideal size is 4000 x 4000 pixels with 300 DPI * Images must be your original work AI images are okay, as long as you note where you created it and what your prompts are. * Please include a title, an explanation of how this image relates to the Deep Roots Dreams theme, and a brief description of the dream(s) that inspired the image. How do you (the admins) envision it’s use? Videos, album/curation art and social media posts. hope this helps (any admins with more/better info please feel free to chime in!) |

No apologies needed. I understand, and accept, that M+ is a work in progress.
Today I tried to upload a remix (with stems too) but it failed to upload. At least I didn’t see it on the playlist page. (Or under Dashboard: Library: Your most recent tracks:) I did receive a notice that someone had left a new comment so maybe the new upload did take, I just can’t see it? (I also don’t see any new comments.) Anyway, I’ll come back in a few days to see what’s working then. |

The playlist page has a switcher at the top, because deep_roots material is being added at *both* M+ and ccmixter.org
Your “the trees are singing to us” is in the ccmixter playlist, and the “deep dream synths” is in the M+ one. I hope that is correct? -mwic |

Also - this mix that I want to upload contains samples from Apoxode and a spoken word from one of the dreamers. It also contains original material from me which I would like to upload as stems. Didn’t we used to be able to upload stems/samples on the same upload as the mix? Or am I misremembering? I’m not seeing that option.
Hmm… but I am seeing other recent remix uploads that also have stems uploaded. ? |

Speck,
I do not know for certain how long it will be until adding stems to Mixter Plus remixes is an option for users. Right now it is possible for admins as we are beta-testing/troubleshooting this feature. We are working on making it possible to help users add files in the interim. At the moment, the only surefire way is to create a similarly named upload with something like “(stems)” in the name. I get this is tedious, but it’s the safest way to make sure everyone can see, use, and credit your original work. |

I don’t think I agree with Apoxode 100% on his police work. This isn’t an admins-only feature.
If I’m not mistaken, anyone can add files to a remix that’s been uploaded already. e.g. Speck should see an “Edit Files” button when viewing his track at http://mixter.plus/myTracks... I have just tested, and (at least on firefox) it works, and allows multiple stems to be uploaded at once. Your mileage may vary if the filename has special characters in it, so avoid for now. What I think is missing is adding the “stems” category to a remix. The M+ database intends to allow any upload to be in as many categories (stem/pell/remix/sample) as apply. I will dig into this now. UPDATE: There is a place you can freely type categories on the “Edit Track” interface : http://mixter.plus/editTrac... Categories (i.e. “remix”,”pell”,”sample”,”stems” .. separated by commas): |

I only just today learned of this event. I too, would like to get involved with this event. I wrote a couple of songs (lyrics only, since I can’t sing worth spit) in a couple of text files related to the Deep Roots concept. How do I join up? I would love to hear someone give my song(s) a workout.
Thanks |

Right on, Whitewolf, this is fantastic! Haven’t seen you in awhile, good to have you back.
To jump in with ccMixter’s Deep Roots, there is material linked here If you’re interested in joining Mixter Plus, I can get you a token to log in with and get you started. Deep Roots is also on Mixter Plus, but with different licensing. This is to accommodate mixters with different license preferences. Glad to see you either way :) Kindly, Apoxode |

Hi sackjo22.
I’m Carlos Aka Deplastik First of all I’m glad to contact you again. I am trying to enter Mixter Plus, but I do not accept my user and password of CCMIXTER. You can help? I am very excited to be part of “Deep Roots Remix Event.” I wanted to know if it is necessary to create a new Remix, and if so, I would like to use one of your Acapelas or Spoken Words, since I almost always use Snowflake. The last one ”Cut Of Your Head feat. Snowflake (deeplastik remix)” uploaded: Tue, May 28, 2024 @ 5:34 PM I don’t tell you to help me hahaha. Please tell me that Acapela or Spoken Words you would like you to use to try to live up to the project |

I just emailed the mixterplus token/log in info to you. Please let us know if you have any issues.
For this event, remixes of dreams submitted for this event are most welcome! Check out the pells from “Dreamers”. Joanna Kowalewska’s dream, “Everyone Knows Where North Is” has not yet been remixed so we would love a remix of that dream! Thanks! |

Thank You everybody who participated in creating the Deep Roots sonic installation. This is truly a collaborative piece. We received so many dreams this year from people all over the world. Dreams shared with us by members of the IASD community. Dreams shared with us from the Mixterverse Community. The mixes themselves are evocative, atmospheric, exciting, moving, groovy, and absolutely wonderful for the setting in which these will be played.
Together, we have created a beautiful piece. While I am very sad to not be able to be there live at Rolduc to hear how our music sounds among the art, I am happy to share with you links for the entire curated sonic installation playlist which is now available for streaming on Youtube or Soundcloud. If you have anything you’d like to share about the experience of working with the dreams, I would love to hear. Meanwhile, dream on. |

Thank you, SackJo22, for bringing the IASD dreamers and the Mixterverse together for this inspired and inspiring remix event. All of the time and energy you shared to make this happen fills my heart with gratitude. And thank you for curating the playlist for us all to enjoy.
Working with Christine Anderson’s dream was an intense experience for me… in a good way… in a connecting way. And working with Admiral Bob’s poem was intense in a different way… Both captured a helplessness… one very intimate, one more far reaching. And both reflected aspects of my life lately. I was drawn to them as I’ve been unable to put my own dreams and feelings into words. So I was extra grateful to be able to participate in different ways than my usual for this project. |
