Production Challenge #4
Here’s what Fearless Few member Mikkelsen had to say when briefing in challenge number 4:
Since this is the second task I'm setting, I'm taking the liberty of making it a somewhat self-serving one. Using pretty much the same formula as we do in the group, i.e. just getting on with things and getting stuff finished without too much dwelling on details, I finished my latest track "writing when drunk" the other day. Whilst I think it's pretty nice, I'd be the first to admit that it's a little bit on the dull side. It lacks a bit of sparkle and its general niceness could do with being challenged a bit. And this, of course, is where you (and I) come in - the task being as follows:
Using as little or as much of the stems / loops uploaded to [get in touch if you want the stems] I'd like you to create your own edit or remix of Writing When Drunk. The only two rules are:
You need to use the stems as your starting point, but if they take you in a radically different direction where the track isn't recognisable at all, then that's totally fine. In fact, I'd welcome you guys doing what I believe Primal Scream asked Andy Weatherall to do when he was tasked with remixing one of their songs: you need to take the track and really, I mean REALLY, fuck it up!
Spend anywhere between 2 and 3 hours on the task
The outcome? A small selection of amazing remixes!
