Amazing YouTube Home Musician Remixes!

Totally eh Illusive! It just blows me away how fully entertaining they are, creative, fluid, soulful, and just great songs too! Combining the separate creative expressions of a hundred different home musicians scattered around the planet who would NEVER have met, and in many cases probably never performed to an audience.

How dam cool is that?! Now they're getting seen and heard by hundreds of thousands of people around the world already, and millions more to come once the word starts really spreading.... the videos were only released a week or so ago. I've seen comments from many of the musicians whose clips were used, just saying they're honored and excited to be a part of it, and that they feel united with creative people around the World. I think this sense of connection and unity between creative humans is really important, particularly at this point in history.

In my opinion, this is just SUCH a positive project. Humanity needs more exposure to stuff like this, instead of the totally negative, empty, vomit-inducing TV/music/entertainment that has spread like an disease throughout the World over the last couple of decades. Something unashamedly creative, that inspires and unites and is good for the soul!

Finding this project also reaffirmed to me how glad I am to have started maketunes, in the hope that it in some way has a similar effect over time.

Its called having a strong sense of empathy for humanity, and its current state of affairs! Also wanting to see more of this sort of improvement from the vile pit of decay and dehumanizing bullshit that forms much of the entertainment industry (which effects everybody day and night, everyday of our lives). I want to do everything I can to help this sort of positivity and creativity eh, there is so much utter pollution for the mind around now. Feel very strongly about all this stuff.

cool.. bet he spends alot of time working all those cuts out.. the results sound crazy..

Yeah that was a pretty big room he had.. alot of space is always good.. it would be cool to see a video of him making a song. To show everybody exactly how he does it.

right words, illusive. that's so true.
(even if i dislike that "we are the world" mood of the worldwideremix, sorry.)

To me there was nothing forced or cheesy about this world wide remix. I can't stand fake or over-the-top hand-holding between nations either, but this to me is about nothing other than good *genuine* aspects. But hey, you're free to have your own opinion ;)

Awesome! Absole-freakin'- Lutely Awesome! Doin this shit right here and grabbing bits and pieces from here and there and then assembly a song, is a WHOLE other level. Really cool stuff and thanks for sharing!

Just watching these is making me all warm and fuzzy inside! Although I don't know what software he uses to make these, I do know that Arkaos Grand VJ would be optimal to do this. It would cut your creation time in half, and increase creative flow. Basically Grand VJ is live video editing and VJing software, that doesn't need some sort of crazy external controller that costs an arm, leg and left nut. You use your MIDI controller, assigning specific video segments to specific keys, and then FX and fades and cuts to other keys that you can control the aspects of said FX/cuts with knobs and sliders. Basically playing video like it was music. I can't run it because I don't have a good enough video card, not that you need the best one in the world, I just happen to have a really crappy one. But I saw this program used at a party once, and asked the guy if I could play with it. Didn't know the guy but he let me anyway. With in 10 minutes, I had it down! I had people asking me questions about it instead of the guy who owned this. I was dumbfounded. Its that frickin easy to use. Now you'd still have to spend hours searching for all these videos, key matching them, cutting them down and all that jazz, but once that was done, the creative flow would be so smooth and natural, stuff like this would just spill out of your mind into the world with ease. These vids are AMAZING!!!!

Take two of these beats, and call me in the morning. Doctor's orders!
