From India Shining to the Indian Latte : Why I love the Internet
May 11, 2007 |
Last weekend I ended up being late for an afternoon barbeque because I was finishing up a vocal recording of a piece I had written with the help of a friend Rakesh (and inspiration from a song by Bob Marley and an Indian political slogan) while in Mumbai and Bangalore last April. For more background, check out the youtube presentation.
Then I uploaded it to CCmixter. Didn't think about it much as I was overwhelmed with my second week of work in my new London home.
And now, exhausted at 8:45 on a Friday night at the office finishing up some things for the week, I get an email notifying me that someone named "illusivemind" has uploaded a track that mixes my acappella "India Shining" and his track called "Cafe Latte."
Take a listen to "Indian Latte," and you can appreciate the wonder and beauty of CCmixter, Creative Commons, and the Internet in general. Have a good weekend.
Update: Two more "India Shining" remixes by Pitx and fourstones.
