Awesome that Indaba has some acoustic stems to work with! I really enjoyed giving this a whirl, this being my first remix entry. It’s an honor to play around with these musician’s sounds. They’re all so amazing. It was my goal to respect the original and add some flare.
I tempo mapped the whole session so that the feel would be preserved from the original, accelerations included.
I also messed around with some new spectral FX I’ve been getting into recently.

Hope it makes you smile!

I gave an assignment to a group of aspiring sound designers not too long ago.  The task was to take two completely different tracks of music and find a way to make them work together and sound somewhat uniform using only editing, transposition and time compression/expansion.  They all had an afternoon to complete it.  Here’s my ‘remixed’ example.  Even caught some of the ii-V harmony in the second half!

Thanks to choreographer Cherice Barton for asking me to attempt this in the first place!  It was a fun experiment.  Makes me think what other wild juxtapositions are out there waiting for discovery.
