Resümee des Florian Meindl Remix-Contest 10.04.2010 by berlinmitteinstitut

A short history on this: In 2009/2010 we did two live shows with Florian Meindl broadcasting the production of a techno track live on webTV for the first time – the result is the track “The Way it Took us”. Since that was such a big success and well accepted by our public, we decided to make a remix contest and enable the chosen remixers a remix-release on Flash Recordings.

This release is the result of a project from Florian Meindl in corporation with Berlin Mitte Institut (Fresh Meat & Kandel) and Soundcloud. The aim was to show a full production process live on TV and audio-stream and get feedback and suggestions live from the audience. It was an experimental approach because nobody knew where it would lead to and the interaction between unknown people in the audience and the producer (Florian) lead to an unpredictable result. The project used modern technologies like a live TV stream, live audio stream, live chat and all features within Soundcloud like a group and comments on the timeline of the delivered remixes.

The project began with Florian producing a track within 8 hours live at Berlin Mitte Institut, where over 10.000 listeners could get involved in the actual production process with questions and ideas. The video stream was completely overloaded and the project was viewed more than 30.000 times on the live stream and afterwards onYoutube. It has been a full success and it was the first time such a project happened.

The result is an clubtune with big strings called “The way it took us”. Because of the success of the project, the makers decided to do a remix contest via Soundcloud in order to see how people would reinterpret Florian’s work. After a month there have been 196 submissions from all over the world, from which 8 were selected by Florian, Fresh Meat and Kandel.
