Radiohead letting fans remix tunes

Always wanted to remix Radiohead but never had the inclination or know-how? Radiohead, iTunes and Garageband are giving fans the opportunity to remix the band’s newest single “Nude” at http://www.radioheadremix.com.

To make remixing easy, the separate “stems” (bass, voice, guitar, strings/fx and drums) from the song will be available to purchase from iTunes. Fans can mix them in any way they like, either by adding their own beats and instrumentation, or just remixing the original parts.

Those purchasing all five “stems” from iTunes during the first week they’re available, will be sent an access code to a GarageBand file ready to open in GarageBand or Logic. But you don’t need GarageBand to do a remix, all the stems are available in iTunes Plus and compatible with several music software platforms.

Finished mixes can be uploaded to http://www.radioheadremix.com where the public will listen and vote for their favourite remix (voting ends May 1st). Fans can also create a widget allowing votes from their own Web site, Facebook or MySpace page to be counted as ‘mix votes’ back on radioheadremix.com.

Leave it to Radiohead to continue rethinking how a band can interact with it’s fans and make music.
