Temperate Transitions Secret Mixter

O for a draught of vintage, that hath been

Cooled a long age in the deep-delved earth,
Tasting of Flora and the country green...
~John Keats

Like the beginning of summer, the secrets of Temperate Transitions will be revealed like the secrets of a fading darkness.  Like the beginning of Winter, secrets will fall into a dreamworld of mystery.  Like music these secrets will reverberate throughout the ecosystem.  We are mixing into the unknown, where creativity thrives. 

So, wherever you are on this earth, take the time to enjoy the secrets of creative commons music during this time of change.  It will wash away the thoughts that keep you from transitioning into a new reality.  Promise!

Remix Starfrosch Jerry Spoon "Cold Ears"

Starfrosch, a well known advocate of Creative Commons Music, and Jerry Spoon, a Swiss music producer and owner of Studio Voisier, have teamed up for a collaborative music project that is expected to rock the Creative Commons music world. They’ve invited the ccMixter community to contribute to their creative process by remixing the track “Kalte Ohren” for inclusion on their 2020 album release. Both Starfrosch and Jerry Spoon acknowledge their deep respect for the ccMixter community and are looking forward to our contribution.

“ccMixter is the most vibrant culture of Creative Commons music in the world.” ~Starfrosch

We couldn’t agree more.

In addition to sharing Creative Commons music through his blog, podcast and chart, Starfrosch helped found the Open Music Network — and ccMixter is a contributing member of the group.

Starfrosch and Jerry Spoon will include their favorite ccMixter remix from this event on their album and promote it across all platforms. ccMixter will promote all contributing artists on our networks as well.

Hidden Treasures Remix Event

Music is a treasure hunt. You dig and dig, and sometimes you find something.
~Ry Cooder

The vaults of ccMixter are filled with sonic gems, glittering samples and sparkling vocals. Some of these treasures have been buried beneath mounds of uploads; they are the secrets in the depths of the archives, lost in the caves of the past. We’ve discovered some of them recently and now you have a treasure map of your own. It’s time to go treasure hunting and remix the sounds that have not yet been heard. It’s time for the Hidden Treasures Remix Event.

The Hidden Treasures Remix Event reveals the musical riches that have yet to be discovered by producers and listeners the world over. We’ve searched and searched, and still, there is more music to be found. Have you uncovered a sample or pell that hasn’t been remixed? Now is your chance to dig deep and bring to the surface sounds that no one has yet heard. Now is your chance to remixed the unmixed, and polish the silver that once was lost in the vaults.

Listeners and producers join us as we scour the site for uploads and bring them up from the depths of the unknown. Hidden treasures will be revealed, and the golden booty will make us all sing and dance like pirates in the firelight.

Here are the links you'll need to dig for our Hidden Treasures.
