GRAND PRIZE: Between You and Me
Chance's Loopty Heart
Remix |
| Boulder, Colorado is jam-band territory, and not
the Mecca of electronica. Violinists work on concertos,
and do not produce breakbeat-electronic music. So
it raises eyebrows when people learn that Ryan Avery,
a Boulder native and a classically-trained violinist,
is the talent behind the solo project Chance's End,
begun in Summer 2000. From BT to Cirrus to Hybrid,
Chance's End's musical influences span many aspects
of breakbeat electronica. |
| The Chance's End sound is based on a progressive-breakbeat
vibe. Chance's End is also infused with strong melodic
hooks, violin-led string ensembles (a memento of
Ryan's classical violin roots), and a thick sonic
texture that dance-floor breaks do not normally
provide. Indeed, Chance's End usually focuses on
creating music suitable for living room listening,
rather than peak-of-the-night anthems. |
| Chance's End is currently promoting Set Me Free,
the new album released in April 2004. |

RUNNER-UP: Between You and Me
Martini Mix |
| Jeff, a multi-instumentalist based in Dallas,
Texas, is drummer for band Red Monroe. |
| Red Monroe’s music embodies the evolving,
anti-establishment sound of progressive rock, but
with guitar-driven, ethereal melodies that are reminiscent
of the post-punk movement. The music is both melodic
and raw – combining dark and dissonant chord
structures with moments of bare vulnerability. The
band prides itself in not being easily labeled –
choosing instead to continually develop its sound
and embrace each song as it comes, regardless of
genre. Red Monroe constantly strives to place the
art above all else, a refreshing attitude of purity
and innocence that is rare in today’s music
culture. Amidst a culture of mindless artistic commercialization,
Red Monroe aims to make a lasting impact on music
by satisfying listeners with its earnestness, its
passion, and its authenticity. |

RUNNER-UP: When I Meet God
Ontological Mix |
| Hearing that I'd won something in this remix competition
was a nice bit of news to get, because only a couple
of days earlier I'd left my nicely-paid Internet
job to do music for a living. I listened to Marillion
as a teenager, and Steve R. had a big influence
when I was learning to play the guitar. Now that
I use the PC to make tunes, it's fun to rediscover
the band and rearrange some songs. |
| My own songs are soundtracks for the strange films
in my head. They'll probably remind you of a movie
genre or composer, or the mood of a cult TV series
- it's trip-hop, guitars, brass sections and orchestras;
Twin Peaks, 50s Sci-Fi, Bond films and Hammer Horror. |

SPECIAL PRIZE: Map of the World
As We See It Mix |
| Redroque came into being in 1993 when Ian Harvey
and Max Bellingham decided that they could write
better songs and be a whole lot more flexible than
the band they were in at the time. And they did,
and they were! A whole lot of albums later, they
are still working hard at it. |
| On the last album "The World As We See It",
Ian's son Liam - a solo artist in his own right
- has provided the drums, Adam Pryke the solo guitars,
and Fi Witton backing vocals and sax. Ian and Max
still write the songs, but leave the others to provide
a different take on how the song progresses. It
went so well that the current album is being done
with the same people in the same way. |
| We enjoyed the Marillion Remix Project immensley,
and so did the people who got involved. Liam again
provided drums plus acoustic guitar and backing
vocals. Uli Schwabe and Paul Keeler popped into
the studio clutching bottles of Guinness and laid
down the fiddles one evening after Mark and Ian
had come up with the concept and done a fair bit
of jiggery-pokery with the original vocal line. |
