Weekly Contest: Purge
It’s springtime and the sun is shining here in Chicago and everyone I know is doing a little Spring Cleaning. On Splice, we’ve been hustling hard to tidy up loose ends on the upcoming release, and I can tell everyone here is excited to be preparing for it’s launch. It’s seems like such a short time ago that we launched our initial release, and I’m still amazed at how we’ve grown. I found an email the other day where I was reporting to someone that we “already have 318 users!” Hahaaaa! We’ve grown tremendously since we’ve been here, because our users keep bringing great content which inspires other people.
Someone who has been with us for a very long time is jordanespionage. You have probably seen his work on the site, and he was kind enough to let us do a feature about him which you can read here. Jordan has a band called Common Man Down, and I’ve been enjoying their take on industrial. I mentioned to Jordan that the samples he’s been uploading to Splice are really great, and he offered to let us remix a Common Man Down song for a contest. He went through for us and split up their song Purge into tasty bite-sized morsels, and you can find the Splice version of it here:
You can hear the complete version of this song on the Common Man Down myspace page.
We’d love to hear your version. Here are the rules:
1. Remix Purge using the Splice sequencer. Your remix can be any flavor you like. (That’s the point, after all, isn’t it?)
2. Your remix must contain at least three of the sounds from the original.
3. Tag your remix with “REMIXPURGE” to be automatically entered.
Entries are due in by Midnight CST, Sunday April 29th, 2007.
Special thanks to Common Man Down for sharing their sounds with Splice. Be sure to drop by the Common Man Down myspace page to hear the full version of Purge and, of course, to tell them thank you.
