Welcome to SGXRMX2 ! Project COMPLETE! Album RELEASED! Submissions CLOSED!

Once upon a time, the magnanimous SGX was troubled with a distinct lack of remix within his realm.  "My followers must have remix!" he proclaimed.  One fortuitous night, SGX descended into his forges of sonance and brought fourth four empyreal stem files.  WIth a mighty heave, SGX scattered the stem files across the internet in the hopes that they might find their way to the finest of songsmiths in the realm. 

For several moons SGX waited.  Finally, 18 honorable champions of the remix presented SGX with their best efforts.  SGX observed these remixes and reflected upon the many hours his subjects spent toiling for the good of the realm.    Eleven remixes shone even brighter than the rest.  The remixes pleased SGX, however the number eleven did not.  "One more remix must be forged!" SGX determined, so he descended once again into his mighty sound forge and produced one final, glorious remix himself. 

"These excellent etudes must be heard by anyone with an ear for the sublime, young and old, far and wide!" SGX decided.  With this in mind, SGX set forth to construct a vehicle for the delivery of these magnificent remixes.  He wondered, "How does one amalgamate such greatness into one place?"  Of course!  The only solution was to construct the mightiest album ever known!  "I shall call it SGXRMX2 - the SGX Remix project."  And so it was.

I said that I would send T-shirts to my personal three favorite remixes' remixers, but I think I will send four. Hy Bound, Nicole Adams, and David L. Puga's respective remixes were my personal favorites, but Darius came in with two very high quality mixes, so a shirt will go to him too! I'll be contacting you guys for your infos.

PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE 5 REMIXES The top five scorers (excluding the four that I selected) will get a free CD.

WHAT IS SGXRMX2?

The SGX Remix Project is a fun competition to remix one of my tracks. Two years ago we did Better Than Sliced Beats - The SGX Remix Project (AKA SGXRMX1). For that project, any song of mine from the album Synesthetic and before was open to remixing. Remixers remixed the tracks, submitted them, and I produced the album. Few project files and/or loops were supplied, however. This year, I am supplying full sample packs for four of my songs from the album Chroma. I am also taking this much less seriously and NOT producing any physical album with the results of the project. This will simply be a free downloadable album. I will be making a cover image. All tracks I recieve will be posted here individually, but it is possible all will not be included in the downloadable album that will be available free on Jamendo depending on amount of tracks submitted and quality (my discresion).

SGXRMX2 IS OVER - CAN I STILL REMIX?

Sure! I probably won't post anything new up here unless I am super-wowed by it, but you can still use my sample packs for fun as long as you abide by my usage rules to the right --->

MIDI:

I've only got midis for two tracks and these are incomplete (for various reasons - not all tracks were made entirely in software that can output a mid file). These will not play in a midi player - they do not contain general midi instrument definitions and are merely to help you figure out the notes in my songs.

All sample packs have whatever project files I had on hand included. I use weird combinations of software (Reason, Project5, Ableton Live, ACID), so nothing is complete. You'll be missing samples and vsti's also.

YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS:

• YOU MAY distribute any remix you make with these files for free in any way you like as long as it is clear that it is a remix of something of mine and I am credited. Please link to my site www.sgxmusic.com whenever possible.
• YOU MUST have my name somewhere in the mp3 file - filename or tags
• YOU MUST notify me about your remix and let me hear it! Even if your remix is not participating in this project.
• DO NOT use these materials as part of your own original song. These should only appear in something that has my name on it in some fashion.
• DO NOT try to make money off of anything you do with these.
• DO NOT make silly faces. You might get stuck like that.
