Bon Iver - Bon Iver Announces Remix Contest In Collaboration with Spotify and Indaba Music
Bon Iver : Bon Iver Announces Remix Contest In Collaboration with Spotify and Indaba Music
2nd August 2012

We are pleased to introduce the first official Bon Iver remix via the Bon Iver, Bon Iver: Stems Project – a call-to-arms remix contest for fans. Bon Iver will release the stems, the individual audio tracks that are combined and layered to make a completed album. The stems from all ten songs on Bon Iver, Bon Iver will be available for download.

Each of the album’s ten songs will have its own contest, and the resulting remixes will be up for public voting through the music-based social networking site Indaba Music. Bon Iver, with public voting results in hand, will decide the final winners. Those ten remixes will then be assembled as a complete album and released exclusively on music-streaming site Spotify for the world to hear.

Members and friends of the band have created their own remixes in promotion of Bon Iver, Bon Iver: Stems Project. Listen to the first offering by Bon Iver band member and Jagjaguwar recording artist S. Carey here.

Starting from today, via Indaba Music and Spotify, everyone will have their shot at leaving their mark on any one of Bon Iver, Bon Iver’s songs. Each song’s stems have been carefully documented and given inspirational place-names, and some songs even include previously unreleased parts that were cut from the album’s final mix.

1. Visit the Bon Iver, Bon Iver Stems Project remix page at Indaba Music
