bloom – Remix CompetitionWill Dutta
Artists, producers and remixers can download original stems or design their own tools to create unique versions of the track. The remix that gets the highest Soundcloud engagement wins a pair of Sennheiser HD 660 S headphones and the runner-up a Sennheiser AMBEO Smart Headset. Shortlisted remixes will get their own page and revolving vinyl on the project space bloomworks.art. Deadline for submissions is 20 June. Winner announced on 11 July.
Dutta says ‘one of my ambitions with Bloume was to extend the natural timbre of the piano and give the electronic processing its own life in the live situation. I worked closely with sound designer Manuel Poletti at IRCAM to create a dynamic and organic system. However, recording immediately fixes the musical state so to counter this I am seeking inventive remixes to expand the listening possibilities in the virtual space’.
Six years since the release of the highly acclaimed Parergon (Just Music, 2012), Will Dutta’s new studio album sees him reunite with electronic legends Plaid (Warp Records), Friendly Fires frontman Ed Macfarlane, composer Max de Wardener (Accidental Records) and sound designer Manuel Poletti.
