RemixReading is a public project in Reading, England, to get local culture creators to share and collaborate with one another using the brand new Creative Commons UK licenses. Organizer Tom Chance sez, "Our launch event is kicking off today after a couple of months of running the website, with hundreds of pieces of work already submitted. We've got a great
lineup with some local bands and electronica artists, an established
independent guitarist, an African drum collective that plays at WOMAD, a cool
art exhibition, and a beat-esque room with poetry, painting, jamming and
recording. We'll also be launching a remix competition at the event. Make
sure you come along if you're within a train or taxi ride from the venue!"
Venue: South Street (http://www.readingarts.com/venues/southstreet.asp) arts centre, Reading, RG1 4QU. Map (http://www.readingarts.com/venues/howtofindus.asp)
Times: Turn up at 5pm for the press conference, 5.30pm for the soundcheck & warmup, and 7pm for the main event.
Price: We'll be charging £2 on the door, except for VIPs and those playing in the main auditorium. The venue is limited to 300 people, with 220 in the main auditorium at any one time, so get there early to avoid disappointment!
(Thanks, Tom!)
