Remix R.E.M. Collapse Into Now

The chance to remix the new R.E.M. track "It Happened Today".

You can download the files in either AIFF or Garage Band format. This is producer Jake Knife Lee on the project.

"Right from the early stages of recording this song in New Orleans Michael wanted to share the files with people to hear their different ideas and versions. So here they are. I have bounced some tracks together to make it easier to download and use. We ended up with over a hundred tracks with all the percussion, brass, three pianos, celeste, glockenspiels, vibraphone, eight acoustic guitars, two drum kits, bass synths, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, electric guitars, bass and all the voices. Enjoy, and be bold. Looking forward to hearing what you come up with..."

Guillaume Viltard - Running Away

Lovely free recording from Guillaume Viltard.

"...Un Reve Nu is a new netlabel that specializes in experimental improvisational music. Their first album titled Running Awayfeatures eight tracks by Ivory Coast bassist Guillaume Viltard. These are solo efforts on the upright bass but there does appear to be some electronic effects on a few tracks. However the main attraction is Viltard's clear virtuosity in getting a wide range of emotion and sounds from this sometimes unwieldy instrument. Another interesting musical experiment that you will never hear from the commercial music concerns.."
