Nine winning remixes will appear on a Crammed/ccMixter EP project to be sold online through digital music stores.

Participating is easy: read the official rules of the contest. (Also available for download as a PDF), download the audio sources, make your remix and upload your mix to ccMixter under a CC BY-NC license between April 26, 2006 and May 24, 2006.

Go to the Crammed Discs Remix Contest pages for all details and separated audio elements downloads of Cibelle's "Noite de Carnaval," DJ Dolores's "Sanidade," and Apollo Nove's "Yage Cameras".

Check the artists view on remixing content on the Crammed Discs Remix Contest pages:
"The whole process of making music has changed. The very concept of composition now extends to the creation of sounds and textures. I'm very curious to see how other people will use and manipulate my sounds and how they will use them as tools to create new music." — Cibelle
"I like the idea of giving people the opportunity to hear what I hear when I'm producing — a separate candomblé percussion track or some painstakingly constructed soundscape. If mixing is part of the compositional process, it's only natural that I try sharing the compositional responsibilities with anyone interested in taking them on." — Apollo Nove
"This is what every intelligent musician should do. The idea is to share and allow one's work to be cut up, reinvented and — who knows — transformed into something even better than the original. This isn't about generosity; it's about inventing new ways of creating musical products that go well beyond the world of physical carriers like vinyl and CDs." — DJ Dolores

The nine winning remixes will appear on a Crammed/ccMixter remix compilation, to be sold online through digital music stores. Your chance to engage in a creative dialogue with Crammed Discs artists Cibelle, DJ Dolores, and Apollo Nove and get your mix of their work on the Crammed/ccMixter remix EP!

Carnival of the Mobilists 03 at m-trends.org

This week the Carnival of the Mobilists is hosted at m-trends.org.



Debi at mobilejones.com describes this initiative like this:
"The cooperation of independent bloggers provides audiences with robust material published weekly, visibility and findability for bloggers among audiences interested in mobility, and creates link love shared across prominent and new voices in the mobile industry. The result is an excellent resource and a demonstration of decentralized collaboration. The Carnival of Mobilists represents all the goodness of independent producers collaborating through virtual community."

First Carnival of the Mobilists

Our September mobile news mash-up has been included in the First Carnival of the Mobilists @ Mobhappy.

Fixed Mobile Internet Convergence
Googling Fixed Mobile Internet Convergence shows us that the convergence has really taking off now... The signs were allready out there but September news has confirmed many of our little doubts... Here's our own news mashup. Feel free to create your own strategic picture and if not, feel free to contact us grin

Mobile Operator Mobistar started offering offering ADSL connectivity in Belgium. Check this Cordless Internet Telephony Kit from LinkSys.

Google launched Google Talk and is definately moving into the Wi-Fi Arena. Just fresh: Google offers free WiFi to San Francisco...

eBay bought Skype and is now entering into the mobile space - or what did you expect? Skype was allready available for PocketPC in April this year. We use Skype here perfectly to call (to fixed or mobile) from Spain to Belgium, France, Uk and Finland and vice versa. Now you can also Skype with ringtones and pictures but Skype has also signed its first agreement with a mobile telecoms operator (E-Plus, Germany's third largest mobile operator - E-Plus has 9.8 million subscribers), taking its low-cost services beyond the desktop and on the road. We haven't tried the IPdrum Mobile Skype Cable though yet...

We can keep going for a while like this but this should be enough to ring a bell, no? To us, a new era has arrived... Mobile as we knew it is gonna be definately different from now on...

Openwave acquires Musiwave

Openwave today announced its acquisition of Musiwave, our French partner in the MuLiMob project.
