I love the original song!  Had fun playing around with the stems, adding effects of my own, a few synth tracks underneath, plus a new beat. Ended with a 'chime' sound (with panning echo effect) of the melody. I thought it sounded like a ticking clock that just won't stop. Hope you like it! Thanks for a great song Lincoln Park :)Hope you like this mix. Please vote for me at indabamusic.com

A Light That Never Comes- Linkin Park   CS Remix

Missed the deadline on this contest, but wanted to finish my own version for whoever's willing to listen :) Hopefully you'll like it 

"Golden"  (Parade Of Lights) - CS Remix

this is clearly unfinished, just putting it out for some friends to hear for now

Start2

I forgot! About my song: I recorded two 'percussion' tracks on my garbage can and a metal garden trellis in my garage. (Loved the feel of the beat of the original, so I wanted to keep going by adding more rhythms) Also sampled 2 different wind chimes hanging outside my house for intro. and ending. The 'airplane' sound that reoccurs throughout my mix was inspired by the intent of the lyrics and title "If I Lose Myself", ...so was the rap: "Here we go up to the sky, in another 5 seconds I could possibly die. Dreaming and praying every night you're near, for a wish, or a hope, not a constant fear. But it's real now, here we are again, you and me 40 high no oxygen. I can see my life wash into the ocean, close my eyes for a moment just to 'feel again'." (I know, my voice is the worst! But it's not like I know Flo-rida and could ask him to do me a solid) I also tried to create a feel of different cultural sounds of music. My beginning where I emphasized the 'strings stem', I thought that would tie in some eastern influences since Onerepublic is traveling the world a lot. My garbage can and trellis recorded rhythms are more of a latin feel. The sung melodies and themes in the original are so awesome and versatile which is why I layered them over each other a lot. (That was my favorite part of the challenge) The 'boom' sounds on the downbeats after the rap are "Thunder claps". The ending synthesized melody I recorded on my laptop. I thought "You can see a life out the window tonight." was an important lyric in my mix so that's why I open and close with it. The animal 'howl' sound at the very end is actually the 'loon call' loop from Garageband. (I did the whole remix on Garageband) Hope you like it, I know it's not a normal type of remix so I'm pretty sure it won't win, but I had fun making it anyway :) Thanks for letting us use your stems Onerepublic it was a cool contest!

"If I Lose Myself"- OneRepublic (CS Remix)

This is a remix of mine for the "My Midnight Heart Solace" competition on indabamusic.com. I hope you like it! Votes greatly appreciated :) I tried to emphasis the electric feel of the original track. I also really like the drum beat so I duplicated it and played it over itself with some effects while adding a simple dance beat underneath. There is a drum break near the middle of the track, (no rap this time :) lucky for you!) 

My Midnight Heart Solace (CS Remix)

This remix is for another competition at indaba.com. I created 2 synth tracks to establish a groove in this one. Also put panning echo effect on the vocal track to mimic the 'ripple effect of waves in the ocean. Hopefully not too cliche, but I also added waves fx at the end... Hope you like it! If so can you vote or listen also at indabamusic.com :)

Big Blue Wave (CS-Remix)

I love the drum track of this song and decided to distort it a little for my mix. I also added another quicker beat over the top to give more 'motion'. Played around a bit with some synth tracks I created and decided to end the song with one of them in it's original form, (piano), with some string sounds in the backround. Hope you like it :) Please look me up at indabamusic.com and vote next week for this mix in the "How to Kill Angels - How Long?" remix contest
