Max Cooper has launched a multi-disciplinary remix challenge, giving people the opportunity to take an original idea and reinterpret it in their own style: music, video, painting, poetry, web art, installation, sculpture, and beyond.
Stems from standout Unspoken Words track “A Model of Reality” are available now via the Mesh Discord, and members have a month to use them. At the end of the month, everyone will have the opportunity to share their work and at least one audio remix will be released on Mesh later this year.
““A Model of Reality” is one of the tracks from Unspoken Words that could go in a number of different directions which I toyed with during the writing phase - so I’m looking forward to experiencing what you can make from it,” says Max Cooper. “And if you don’t feel you have all the skills to deliver your ambition, why not offer to collaborate with someone in the Discord channel?”
Very much a creative challenge than a competition, Mesh intend to share all of the entries in a Roundtable Conversation in September. The label will also host a “How I Make a Remix” session with Alex Banks and Llyr on 18th August.
"In January, we started the Mesh Discord to build a community because we want to be more collaborative and open, giving opportunities to anyone who wants them," explains James Palmer-Bullock of The Wild Seeds, who represent Max Cooper and Mesh. "We call it a "challenge" because "competitions" are adversarial. But we want to build community."
"Music has become an industrialised process, and the electronic dance music scene started as a community, but has become a bit competitive. We're working to rewire that - the way we think and work can be healthier and more inclusive."
