Its been a fun week or two for me at remix64 (if your into stress sadism). The new CD to come from the remix64 stable is in a musically the last phase of development. The team of people who are involved in the CD's creation now reaches to over 20 people and by the end of this the team could well be over 30. So keeping everything on an even keel and organsing such a large team can be confusing and very difficult. The CD has become a massive project and for one i didn't expect when i started this that it'd go this far, but i'm happy it has done.



When i started this CD i expected it to be better than volume 1, but to go as far as it has is certainly something i could only have thought possible with a massive budget. But it goes to show you, if you find the right people and be as open with them as you possibly can then the sky is the limit.



Remix64 volume 2 has alot of unique features and quite a few unprecidented ideals. While remixing has known real instruments before it's not that common and to the capacity we have used them is unknown. But it's not just ahout real instruments, sometime a more synthetic instrument is better, it's about blend and careful use. There's still tracks on the CD that are soley based on the synth only. Thomas Detert's Shades is an example. But Markus Holler's remix of parallax sub4 uses 3 different guitars and a violin to acomplish the right feel.


The lineup of real instruments for remix64 are as follows...(at point of writing)



DRUMS,GUITARS (VARIOUS),VIOLIN,FLUTES (VARIOUS), RECORDER, AND THREE VOCALISTS.



At the end of the day tho, it's music that matters, and we'll only know that when you hear it and tell us what you think. But i'm personally optermistic.
