Songbirds Remix Event at MixterPlus

“Your head is a living forest full of songbirds.”
e. e. cummings

Lyrics, lyrics and more lyrics!

Way up In the branches of the MixterPlus remix tree there is a sweet melody calling. 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.

"This is what The Songbirds Remix Event is about…sharing lyrics and pairing them with melodies."

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.

Let’s shake some tail feathers together!

Happy New Year 2024

Happy New Year to you from everyone at CcMixter! Last year was huge for us and we look forward to continued expansion across the global, making music for all to enjoy! Get in the mix! #ccmixter #youtubemusic #NYE2024 #holidays #musiclover #onebigglobalband #musicconnectsus #youtubeplaylists #holidaymusic #wintersolstice #remixnation

  “It is in vain to write on the seasons unless you have the seasons in you.” - Henry David Thoreau

One of the most enchanting aspects of old holiday songs is the sense of nostalgia they bring. At ccMixter, we have uploads that have been a part of our holiday traditions for decades, if not centuries, and they hold a special place in our hearts. Join us as we continue the tradition of seasonal music remixing.

Soundtracks: Take 1

 

Music is the soundtrack of your life. — Dick Clark

Soundtracks: Take 1

You’re on the set, ready to create the score that gives life to the film. The scene continues from where (and what) we launched with the MixterPlus Dreaming Together event. (read about it here)

Your role: Record and submit original mixes for other creators to use in their videos, movies, vlogs, podcasts, and promotions. The excitement is palpable as the story of new tech and new licensing is developing alongside our vibrant community of collaborative musicians.

Soundtracks: Take 1 is also a continuation of ccMixter’s recent Parallel Paths Secret Mixter because our music community is inspired by collaborative events, and they are the driving force for producing the content that is used all over the internet for media productions.

Why are we so excited about this next scene in our story?

Because there is a whole new level of functionality at MixterPlus we want you to experience. mwic is hard at work building better upload features, tagging systems, track editing ability. If you took part in Dreaming Together, you’ll definitely notice the upgrades.

As an early adopter, you are crucial to the success in developing our new music licensing platform. We want your music and we want your feedback.

And don’t forget to get your ccMixter and Mixter Plus merch. Wear it proudly!
