Inspired Flight<\/a>. This band has a sound that is hard to describe. And yet, looking at the artists they list as influences on their MySpace page<\/a>, their sound just makes sense. They’ve really learned how to incorporate some of the subtle and intangible things that make those musicians great musicians.<\/p>\n

Their bio<\/a> says it well. “Rooted in hip-hop and dipping into elements of indie rock, downtempo, dub and dance, Inspired Flight is taking your pre-conceived notion of what a band and DJ are and merging them into something new and quite hypnotizing.” Though their sound clearly incorporates a myriad of different elements, including vocals, keyboards, other exotic instruments, and laptops, this band is made up of just two people –\u00a0 master turntablist, OpenOptics<\/a>, and accomplished guitarist\/songwriter, Chavez. To learn a little more about their respective musical backgrounds and inspiration, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The duo wants you to join their remix contest<\/a>, powered by MixMatchMusic<\/a>. Go on. Have a long hard listen to their song, “It Always Takes,” feel it, breath it, internalize it. (This, by the way, is easy to do because the song is beautiful. It has a haunting melody and something generally mesmerizing about it.) Then, take it apart and re-envision it as your own. Add, subtract, multiply, magnify, simplify, or otherwise modify the song to your liking.<\/p>\n

To do so, you can download the stems<\/a> (for free) and use your own software to remix them, OR if you want to keep things even simpler, click on the MixMaker button<\/a> and make your mix online. Most importantly, UPLOAD your remix so that you can get credit for your masterpiece! Other people can listen to it, vote on it and share it.<\/p>\n

This remix contest runs until January 31st, 2010 and Inspired Flight will choose their favorite submission. The lucky winner will be the featured bonus track<\/em> on their album, coming in March 2010. Nice! Oh ya, and you’ll also get a limited edition T-shirt and poster, as well as an Eyeball HD Webcam from Blue Microphones<\/a>. Read the complete contest rules here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Go. Be inspired!<\/p>\n
