Hello, Freesounders.

The Andrew Duke--Consumer vs. User remix contest is now officially "live" on http://andrew-duke.com and http://stratagem-musik.com and running until August 31, 2006. The best resulting remixes will be released on Stratagem Musik and great prizes are up for grabs including software (including a grand prize of a copy of Reaktor 5 kindly donated by Native Instruments), magazine subscriptions, books, CDs-ROMs, and CDs.

Even if you decide not to enter the contest, there are 385 WAV samples (available as 24bit and 16bit) from my Consumer vs. User album (http://www.phthalo.com/cat.php?cat=phth40) available for free download on http://andrew-duke.com as well as a full preview of the album's lead track.

I do hope, though, that some of you music-makers here will enter the contest. And please spread the word to any producers and composers and sound designers you think might be interested in entering the contest and in playing with the samples.

Thanks.
Take care.
Andrew

FXpansion has also donated a sweet prize: a copy of GURU.

Just a reminder to the producers on the list (and anyone who would like to help spread the word):

The deadline for entries in the Andrew Duke--Consumer vs. User remix contest is August 31, 2006--just one month from today.

In case you missed the info first time 'round:
remix material from Andrew Duke's Consumer vs. User album (just
released on California's Phthalo http://www.phthalo.com/cat.php?cat=phth40 and featuring a remix of Phonopsia and two collaborations with Massaccessi) for a chance to be released on Stratagem Musik (http://stratagem-musik.com) and win cool prizes including a grand prize of a copy of Native Instruments Reaktor, plus software from FXpansion and Audiomulch, magazine subscriptions, CD-ROMs, books, CDs, and more;
http://andrew-duke.com/contests.html has the details. And even if you're not interested in participating in the remix contest, there are 385 royalty-free samples available for you to play with.

Again, contest deadline is August 31, 2006. And there's another remix contest (different source material and prizes) starting up August 15.
