The range of styles, moods, and craft that we uncovered in this contest was inspiring. Usually, a remix takes an artists song and re-imagines and re-contextualizes the hook, the melody and beat. Instead of a song, we provided modular, original, unfamiliar material with different moods and ideas. We thought this was more in line with the modularity of the Morph, and we hoped it would provide a creative spark instead of a bunch of copycat ideas.
With 30 different mixes, we got what we hoped for. There's a lot of talent out there.
You can hear the variety from our winners - ranging in styles from nu-disco, grungy underground, and dreamy trip-hop (hey, genres aren't easy!). If you dig in deeper to all the remixes, you'll hear an even broader range of styles and sounds.
Congratulations to the winners, and many thanks to our prize partners Arturia, Cycling '74, ROLI, ELPHNT, and Glitchmachines.
