Steve Reich remix contest

  Quote

Steve Reich, Nonesuch Records, and Indaba Music—the pioneering online collaboration community and “musical ecosystem”—have launched a search for collaborators to remix the third movement from Reich’s new piece 2x5, which Nonesuch Records released September 14 on the same album as his Pulitzer Prize–winning piece Double Sextet. Gramophone recently described 2x5 as "Reich's smartest, most sonically nourishing record for years."

 

For four weeks beginning today, October 12, remixers can visit indabamusic.com/featured_programs/show/steve-reich-remix-contest to create their own version of the movement. From November 9 to 23, fans and a panel of judges, including Reich and Sequenza21 music writer Christian Carey, will review the submissions. Then Indaba will announce the jury’s choices of Grand Prize Winner and two Runners-Up on December 7, as well as the public’s choice of ten Honorable Mentions.

 

 

All winning selections will receive prizes, as follows:

"Steve Reich's influence has always spun in all directions," writes the Observer's Fiona Maddocks in a recent album review, "but even he must have surprised himself here: rock-band instruments playing in riffs and grooves with the notated precision of classical chamber music." Maddocks calls it "fresh, hypnotic and beguiling" with "Reich on a new curve of invention."
