SAN FRANCISCO – December 9, 2008 – MixMatchMusic (www.mixmatchmusic.com) announced today that the latest bands to use its Remix Wizard to power fan-oriented remix promotions include Camp Lo, MC Lars, Trifonic, Delhi to Dublin and Know Sleep. Each of the bands have loaded guitar, bass, keys, drums and/or other music stems into personalized versions of the Remix Wizard, and invited their fans to remix, mash up and create new sounds with them. The company also announced that the Bill and Andrew Show podcast is offering fans the opportunity to remix parts of the show with the Remix Wizard. 

The MixMatchMusic Remix Wizard is a lightweight widget bands install on their sites to engage fans in their music.  Hip Hop performers, Camp Lo, are featuring the MixMatchMusic Remix Wizard on their MySpace page at  myspace.com/therealcamplo.

"We're really excited to see where fans can take Lumdi in their remixes," said Geechi Suede of Camp Lo. "We think opening up our creative process to fans is a fun way to connect with them, and who knows, we might even use some of the remixes that are made!"

Suede said that IK Multimedia is offering a T-RackS 3 Deluxe mixing and mastering suite to winners of the Camp Lo remix promotion.  Details for the Camp Lo promotion will be available on the Camp Lo MySpace page next week, according to Suede. 
 
MixMatchMusic previously announced that bands including Throw Me the Statue, The Bayliens, HMD, Enzyme Dynamite and Gavroche are using the Remix Wizard for fan promotions.

"The artists using it are telling us they're getting great feedback from the fans," said Charles Feinn, CEO and co-founder of MixMatchMusic.  "And there is great momentum in the MixMatchMusic community too, with more and more stems, songs and works in progress added to the library." 

MixMatchMusic enables musicians to collaborate on, profit from and engage fans with their music.

The MixMatchMusic artist solution is built on four key building blocks:

•    A dynamic music community.  MixMatchArtists contribute parts of songs, called stems, such as guitar riffs, drum and vocal tracks; works in progress; or finished songs.  Community members can search thru this catalog of sounds and songs to find stems to complement their own song ideas and works in progress.  They can also communicate with other musicians to discuss song or album projects.  Casual fans – even those who don't play an instrument – can experiment with the sounds, discover new music and download stems or songs for use as ringtones or soundtracks for slide shows.

•    The MixMaker audio sequencer.  Members of the community use the sequencer to mix, match, mash up and manipulate their stems along with stems contributed by various artists.  The sequencer combines and synchronizes stems and tracks; its edit tools are powerful and precise, but easy-to-use.

•    The MixMatchMusic marketplace. The marketplace is an enlightened system of rights tuned to the unique requirements of digital music and the needs of digital musicians.  The marketplace also includes highly transparent accounting processes and transaction logs that ensure musicians know the status of their work, are attributed and paid whenever it is downloaded or used in other art, or even by casual fans as ringtones.  Musicians collect 85 cents on each dollar transacted.

•    The Remix Wizard is a widget installed on artist sites or MySpace pages that provides fans direct access to a simplified, lightweight version of the sequencer.  Artists load stems of their songs into the Remix Wizard and invite their fans to mix and match the various parts and create entirely new compositions from those parts. The Remix Wizard is a simple-to-install and easy-to-use widget that gives indie artists a cool viral tool for engaging fans, and allows them to emulate the hugely popular remix promotions mounted by bands such as Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails.

Participation in the MixMatchMusic community and use of its MixMaker audio sequencer are free to musicians and casual fans alike.  Fees are incurred when stems, works in progress or finished songs are downloaded for sale or other use.
