End of Year Hiatus

The mixperiment taking an end of the year break. It will return, bright eyed and bushy tailed, in late January. The date and theme will be posted early in the new year.

Best wishes for 2008!

Next Up!

November's theme is Strings of all type and any form. The next installment will take place on, Friday, November 30th, from 3:00pm-5:00pm on a bench just outside the Government Street Entrance of the Bay Center, just the same as the last one. Since the rainy season is upon us, there's a good chance I'll have to cower inside on a bench, but never fear. Just search the general area for the ladybug hat, and you'll be right where you're needed.

Success and what's next

I would like to take this time to thank Bill Stuart of Monday Magazine for featuring the Mixperiment in his "Bill Stuart tries" column. I attribute it to the success of last week's mixperiment. The variety of music and enthusiasm for the project were as bright as the autumn leaves that fell into my tea as I waited for participants. There was a tire swing mix, ghostly tunes, mystery mixes, and some painstakingly decorated covers.

Sometime in late November I'll be dragging my bad self out to another point in downtown Victoria, with a mix ready to trade. This month I'm introducing a theme, but keep in mind: The theme is meant to inspire, not constrict your creativity. There is no obligation to adhere to the theme when participating. The theme for November is:

String Things!

Since this is the first theme I figured we'd start with something fairly broad. Bring us your violins, your cellos, your harps, and harpsichords! As always, any genre and era is welcome! Throw out some songs about strings, threads, chords, rope, twine, and even string theory. So drag out your Yo Yo Ma, dust off your Final Fantasy, dig up some Magnetic Fields, and get mixing.

The location and date for the next mixperiment will be announced sometime in early November. Check back for more info, and never hesistate to drop comments/questions/love letters.

Welcome to the Official home of the Mixperiment music exchange. The mixperiment welcomes music of all genres, eras, instrumentation, and taste. Instructions for the mixperiment can be found to your right, and any questions are welcome in the comments section.

The next installment will take place on, Friday October 26th, from 3:00pm-5:00pm on a bench just outside the Government Street Entrance of the Bay Centre. If it's raining, the operation will move inside said entrance. Just look for the lady bug hat...
