Phoenix Joins The Interactive Music Revolution

4/7/2009

 

After seeing Paris based Phoenix play SNL this past week, I checked out their website and discovered that they, too, are providing fans with a multitrack version of their latest single- 1901. Add another band to the list of artists who are humble enough to allow other people to make something new from their art.

Over the past year, I've enjoyed Radiohead's Stem versions of Nude and Reckoner, Ben Folds' Stems and Seeds disc, and Third Eye Blind's pre-release of a number of songs off their forthcoming album on indabamusic. Each of these bands/arstist have all inspired users to interact with their music in ways that weren't even possible 10 years ago and I'm eager to see what other bands begin jumping on this idea.

So, If you hear anything or find anything in this vein, send a note my way and I'll keep do some updates every now and then about this topic.

OH- And if anyone out there in the movie industry is reading or listening- I'd love to be able to splice up some films, too. Sell us some extended versions with a lot of your cut footage and allow us to edit it up and make fan-cuts in Final Cut or Windows Movie Maker. Trust me, there's a market full of people who would be willing to pay for the opportunity to play with your art!
