Calling for your lyrics, your story, your observations to be put in song–call for words to match the melody. Now, imagine yourself perched upon a branch in that tree, surrounded by fellow avian poets, each harboring a unique melody in their hearts, and a new story to tell. Then listen to the melodies and the words flowing together in song like the swaying of the leaves in the wind. Listen as your words take flight, soaring among the branches, inspiring others to add their own melodies to the chorus.<br /><br /><br /><h4 style="text-align: left;"><i><b>"This is what The Songbirds Remix Event is about…sharing lyrics and pairing them with melodies."</b></i></h4><br />So dip your pen in ink, dig through your old notebooks of scribbled ideas, and share a stanza with us. From the tender ballads of love to the raucous anthems of rebellion, every lyric has a place in our forest of songbirds. Soon the songs of the Songbirds remix event will echo through the digital landscapes, through the canopy of creativity, and the words you share will be the story of collaboration, community and imagination.<br /><br /><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>Let’s shake some tail feathers together!</b></h4><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/_Ycgw6XOS5w?si=_PXBIq8D9bVL0v96">WATCH THE LIVESTREAM VIDEO</a><br />(for more information about what’s happening in the MixterPlus tree.)<br /><br /><a href="http://mixter.plus/">MixterPlus Website</a><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012486.post-66748544561504405882024-01-14T07:55:00.000-08:002024-01-14T08:02:31.601-08:00Secret Sauce Secret Mixter<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilYzcx6Aqa3fBs0rep9amtTaX063IL6LtdGv7PjdC42dmr21JfEESxbTtk3nfSi46tgZpdlO4FkXnyNu1NauFBb5l_mGzyFl8kHEF6sTuvyi1Wl7NqbXXw_2MniLIsi9Vf4RtD3nxW-ho0J7KnWt92Vb6YLI636Y0rmgNbNwB7G6muPTVokS6O/s500/SSSN_500.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilYzcx6Aqa3fBs0rep9amtTaX063IL6LtdGv7PjdC42dmr21JfEESxbTtk3nfSi46tgZpdlO4FkXnyNu1NauFBb5l_mGzyFl8kHEF6sTuvyi1Wl7NqbXXw_2MniLIsi9Vf4RtD3nxW-ho0J7KnWt92Vb6YLI636Y0rmgNbNwB7G6muPTVokS6O/s320/SSSN_500.png" width="320" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Secret Sauce Secret Mixter</h2>Make your reservations now!

It is again that time of year, when we celebrate the Solstice and the marked moments of the season. The time to gather round and share with friends and family is upon us. Let's make some music while we're at it!<br /><br />For this year's event we choose the five elements--Fire, Earth, Water, Air and the fifth (or quintessential) element that combines them — the life force — as our theme for the last remix event of 2022. We feel this theme resonates with the culture we're so fortunate to be a part of here at ccMixter.</div><div><br />For, in our community, the quintessential element is rooted in the act of creating music with musicians from around the globe, and sharing that music with listeners near and far. And now that our next musical celebration is upon us, we ask you to tap into that fifth force as the year ends and the new year begins.</div><div><br /><div><h3><i>“This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath.”</i> ― <i>Margaret Atwood</i></h3></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>What do you think of when you see the snow fall? When you hear the jingle of bells? When you feel the warmth of candles lit around the fireplace? We ask you to infuse those emotions in your remixes even if your chillin' on the beach in the southern sun, or immersed in the metaverse. Wherever you happen to be, the quintessential force of creativity is where the true holiday spirit resides. Give the gift of music right here with all of us.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now's the time to join us!

Somehow dreams are familiar and also just beyond the reach of our intellect. In some instances the dream world becomes our waking world, or vice versa. These dreams are the most interesting because the line between the "real" and the "imaginary" is blurred. And like waking dreams, music has the power to send us into a dreamworld where we feel connected to the tangible and the intangible all at the same time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.</i> -- Paul Valery</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So wake up and dream with us! With this Secret Mixter event, we explore the waking dream experience through remixing each other. Every remixer that signs up will get the chance to step into the dream world of creation, using their assigned artist's stems to guide them. And every participant will receive a dream mix of their own. What comes of that journey will be uploaded and shared with the world. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In a world of waking dreams, there are endless possibilities.
