Poetic Remixes….. How Collaborating Makes You Dig Deeper
Hellooooo! Been M.I.A. for a bit. I have been a little busy with family things, so I have not had the opportunity to sit down and share what has been going on. At the beginning of the month, the Soundcloud Heroes group that I am a part of launched a new community collaboration project called the National Poetry Collaborations on Soundcloud this month. We asked people to contribute one single line of their favorite poetry and offer it up to the rest of the SC community to be used to create a completely new remixed poem using various lines from different users. In addition, musicians and producers could take those and add their own original compositions to the mix. So far, we have had quite a few pieces contributed and they are waaay beyond what I had anticipated.
What I loooove so much about community collaborations is that it forces everyone involved to push past their own boundaries, try something new, and dig deeper. Awesome! Now, here are a few select poetry remixes (including my own) for you to check out. It is not too late to join the project and submit some sounds of your own or to give your hand a try at a remix. Here is the link with more details about how to join: http://soundcloud.tumblr.com/post/46955630575/this-is-a-guest-post-by-soundcloud-hero-monica
Enjoy, share, and join! (p/s – still putting my album together, trying to figure out how to add some new techniques and organic sounds into the mix at the moment)
