Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono Band Goes CC!
Open CultureYoko Ono wants you to remix her track “The Sun Is Down!” whose stems are released under a CC Attribution-NonCommercial license. You can download the sample pack which includes the track’s vocal effects, loops of bass, drums, sound effects, and Tenorion files.
But Yoko’s also running a contest to find the 10 best remixes. Here are the details:
Create your own remix of “The Sun Is Down!” by Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band, using as many or few of the samples from the pack and any original audio you wish to add.
When you have finished your mix, make an MP3 copy that’s as high quality as possible, but still under 10MB in size.
Email the MP3 of your mix, along with its name and your name, address, email and phone number to remix@YOPOB.com before 12 December 2009.
The Top Ten mixes will be decided by Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band.
The winners will receive special signed Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band prizes and will be featured on this site over the Xmas and New Year period.
Head over to Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono Band for the full contest details and to download the sample pack.
