Entered Motion Beat "Vinid - Time Out of Mind" remix contest

I worked on a remix entry for "Vinid - Time Out of Mind" over two days for a contest sponsored by Motion Beat that closes on August 31 September 7, 2012. Extending the contest sucks as the contest opened on July 20 and with seven entries as of August 31 each of us has just over a 50% chance of winning. I suppose Motion Beat was a little worried about the quality of the submissions. I submitted my entry on August 30. Six of the seven entries were made in the last two weeks of August. Entrants are supplied with MIDI files, which were pretty sparse and all of which needed editing to remove extraneous controller events and other garbage so I could get them to work with my software synthesizers. You can listen to a preview of my entry via RemixComps.com or the widget below. I am the Trance Doctor and I thank you for listening.

Uploaded "Dark Matter Investigation Pattern Query" to SoundCloud

Imagine you are on a starship Investigating dark matter, the stuff we can't see that makes up most of the universe's mass. Are these the sounds you might hear as you listen to some of your dubstep synthed music while you pursue your "Dark Matter Investigation Pattern Query"?

"Lost in the Sun" by Ivy remix contest entry

Didn't spend a lot of time on this, simply added some interesting FX to the various audio stems that were provided for this remix contest of a song called "Lost in the Sun" by the group Ivy. My remix sounds like the original except that the instrumentation, due to the FX used, is a bit more in your face. I couldn't really make out the lyrics in the original and you definitely can't understand them in my remix!

"Night of the Living Coffeemaker" contest entry

Unusual contest from Samplephonics to create a two-minute track using a single sound source. I chose a recording I made in 2011 of my coffeemaker. Sliced it all up and applied a lot of sound effects to the different audio to come up with an ambient horrorscape I called "Night of the Living Coffeemaker". Have a listen if you dare. It might make you appreciate your coffeemaker even more.
