Do a remix, win a circuit-bent Casio SK-1!

Since the song and video received such a favorable response here, I thought you might like this.

I'd like to announce the Really Really Weird Remix Contest.

In the very near future, I will be making the raw tracks for The Simple Carnival's song "Really Really Weird" available for download. If you're a creative remixing kind of person, you can take these original tracks, manipulate them, and turn them into something that sounds nothing like the original song. A panel of judges and I will rank the submissions.

The grand prize is one of the instruments that was used in the song, a circuit-bent Casio SK-1 sampler (considered by many to be the holy grail of weird-sounding circuit-bent instruments), plus a Simple Carnival t-shirt and a copy of the album where the song comes from, Girls Aliens Food. There are three runner-up prizes (consisting of the t-shirt and CD) as well.



Even if you don't win, there's a possibility that your remix might end up on a future Simple Carnival release. You can read all the details here:

Songs and Sonics » Blog Archive » Really Really Weird Remix Contest

Thanks for reading this far, and hope to hear your remixes soon!

There's a description of how the tracks are pieced together on Songs and Sonics:

Anybody here?

>crickets chirp<

Anyway... three remixes are up:

MySpace.com - Really Really Weird Remix Contest - DELMONT, Pennsylvania - Electronica / Pop / Experimental - www.myspace.com/reallyreallyweirdremix

Mister Fusty, Heidi Gloom, and Rob Arnold all have remixes you can check out at the above link.

Because Mister Fusty is a judge in the contest, he is not eligible to win anything. He knows this, but he went ahead and did a remix anyway. :)

Just thought you might want to know that the Girls Aliens Food album was released this week...

It's on iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon, and The Simple Carnival - Souvenirs. You can listen to nearly the entire album on CDBaby.

Three new Really Really Weird remixes came in this week: Dav, Satan's Little Sister, and EarLabsSolo sent in their submissions. (For some reason, Dav's remix shows up as the last song on the MySpace player. I don't know why.)

Here's the link again...

MySpace remix link

Just a reminder -- the cutoff date for contest entries is midnight EST, November 30th, 2008. So if you're a remixing sort of person and you want a chance to win some cool stuff, it'd probably be a good idea to get started on that remix soon!

During the first seconds of the intro I thought the music was awful and then it turned out to be a very good song and a nice video!

really funny
