We are thrilled to announce the winner of our remix composition contest, Joe's Last (Re)mix by Robert McCarthy. McCarthy composed a delightful remix for chamber winds, percussion, synthesizers, and two laptops (score and parts are available for download). You can read more about him and hear more of his music and other projects at his website.
Joe's Last (Re)mix was performed as part of the April 15 Digital Carnival concert event at the Arizona State University School of Music, and was conducted by Stuart Sims. Here is a recording of that performance:

The REMIX composition contest
Central to our free Creative Commons release of joe's last mix is an invitation for composers of all backgrounds to remix the score of this innovative piece. We are hoping to receive remixes made electronically from performance recordings, as well as recompositions of the original work.
Composed remixes of the original score may be for any combination of the original instrumentation and require submission of both score and parts as PDF files, and must include an mp3 file of a midi performance of the score.
Electronic remixes should be submitted as mp3 files via email (for larger files, an FTP site is available upon request), along with a short written statement about your remix.
This is an ongoing invitation but participants who submit composed remixes by March 1, 2010 will be considered for a performance and recording by the Arizona State University Wind Ensemble on April 15, 2010. Winning electronic remixes will be featured on this concert as well. All selected submissions will be posted and featured on this site, the Loose Filter Project home page, and Tanner Menard's web page.
All submissions and any questions should be directed to Stuart Sims here. Terms of remix agreement after the fold.
