Leafcutter John Remix Competition now open!
Post this on your website!
Just before I head out on tour with Polar Bear I want to let you know that the files are now up for the Remix Competition.
Included in the download you’ll find all the stems from the MicroSong ‘Big Black Eyes’
They are encoded as good quality MP3’s.
Your job is to make a fantastic remix using whatever tools are at your disposal.
There are a few simple rules:
1. You have until 30th April to complete your Remix and send it to me in MP3 form. There are no restrictions on style. The email address to send your entry is included with the download package. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT SEND: AIFF, WAV, or an uncompressed files!
2. You may add your own sound sources but please retain some of the originals or it’s not really a re-mix is it? You may chop, mangle, distress, sew, dilute, boil down amongst other treatments.
3. There will be one winner chosen by Leafcutter John and the winner will receive a very special prize, or a CD or something not too difficult to post. Winners will be announced as soon as possible after all the entries have been heard.
Depending on how many entries we get, we’ll try and put all the remixes up at leafcutterjohn.com
Because I’d like to see a lot of cool entries please spread the word far and wide, if you’d like to add the flyer just paste the following code into your website. As Dan has correctly pointed out the following code will only work of you re-type all the inverted commas – sorry can’t sort this out right now.

I did a project like this years ago and the response was amazing – get going you have just over a month!
Best of luck,
Leafcutter John.

can I just check whether you intended for the BBE Ny guitar stem to have the vocal on it aswell…?
I was thinking it would be deep joy just to have the guitar part on it’s own…
Thank, John.
Your embed code is not using the correct inverted commas. You need to change them all to this type: “
I mean Thanks.
Seems your website rendered that incorrectly too. Just type over them in your html or blog editor and it should be fine.
president solo: That is spill as I recorded the guitar and vocal at the same time.
Thanks Dan! Yes its a website rendering error.
AMAZING – A mere 11 hours after the files were posted I received the first remix from “kendal mintcake” it sounds lush, I think this’ll be a great competition.
I’m going to send mine in now, otherwise I’ll just leave it and not make any more changes, and then remember I should have sent it in two days too late..

John,
What is the original BPM for this? Thanks!
I didn’t record it using a click because i wanted it to speed up and slow down a little – that means there is no exact and consistent BPM.
best,

Sorry to be dense, but we send this to you how? Your contact form has no way to attach a file, and I see no direct email on the site.
Great idea BTW and my mix is precious!
Um, y’know I actually reread the text file which clear that all up. Doh!
i very much liked, being apart of your media history (-_-)
