A long long time ago....Boot in 60 Seconds finally released.

[fingertrouble]

30 *cough* bootleggers, 60 seconds(ish) each...gentlemen(and women!) start your engines! The idea was one of musical consequences, the next person remixes the previous track, and no-one gets to hear the whole (til now!).

Brought to you by mutantpop.net. Just very, very slowly...and if it sounds dated (Milkshake pella? Kylie? Kelis? Missy?) it's because those acapellas and tracks were current then - it was started in 2004 and last tracks submitted were 2005.

This was a total nightmare and car-crash of a project - was supposed to be 60 bootleggers, got abandoned because people disappeared for weeks/months/years, restarted, abandoned again (same reason), partly finished, abandoned cos it was all in different bpms and I only knew Acid at the time...forward to last year and I learned Ableton which meant I could sort of get them together, and most recently a harddrive checkdisk error has eaten the Ableton files and renamed them all, so this is actually a slightly unfinished but will have to be finished now rough demo...still some rather evil speed up and slow down sections which are in the bootleg sections themselves and I can't do much about those.

Parts are a mess, parts work really well...you take your pick I suppose! Nowadays doing this via Ableton or MOGG files would be far easier - every year or so someone pops up with this very idea...I was the first, and probably last, so I posted it to show the caveats in a project like this. Still quite proud of most of it though.
