…Bob Ostertag is giving away his music?
Bob Ostertag’s w00t “is a free, internet-only release composed entirely from fragments of music from video games”.
Created as a collage of computer game sound and image, it’s Bob’s first release “to skip the CD-for-sale stage and go directly to free Internet download, under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license”.
What does that mean?
It means Ben encourages you to “download, copy, send to your friends, remix, mutilate, and mash-up” his music as long as you share in the same manner.
If only all music could be so free.

Sometimes, instant gratification video is just the thing you need.
If you’ve ever uploaded from your cell phone, wished for an easy way to add titles and transitions, or just wanted to remix your own videos, Remixer is a great place to play.

Though you’re not going to be cranking out Academy Award wining films with this thing any time soon, it will be good to see a little flair added to the “hey, look what my new camera phone can do” videos that are currently proliferating the ‘Tube. Blair Witch 2, here I come.
…Ads are easy?
Looking for that next great business idea that’s going to take you to the top and make you millions? Let the Ad Generator run wild for a few minutes, and inspiration is sure to follow. “Words and semantic structures from real corporate slogans are remixed and randomized to generate invented slogans. These slogans are then paired with related images from Flickr” and a complete advertisement is created. The results are surprisingly accurate and creative for such an automated process, and it does make you wonder about the language of advertising that is both “deeply meaningful, in that it represents real cultural values and desires, and yet utterly meaningless in that these ideas have no relationship to the products being sold”. I’ll take two.

…Kanye West mixes well with Beethoven?
This remix featuring Kanye West’s Gold Digger and Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony gives a pretty good idea of what it would be like for modern day music stars to combine talents with some of classical music’s greatest. Call it Classical Hip-Hop, give it an exclusive MTV channel, and you’ve got yourself a revolution.
