Remix The Earth is hard to define. It is a cross-cultural experiment, a non-profit ongoing music and video project founded by Adrian Blackhurst, aka Boogiemeister. Modeled after similar projects “Playing For Change”, “1 Giant Leap” & “Critical Beats” (which Adrian traveled to Ecuador with in 2011), Remix The Earth has the vision & dedicated goal to record talented musicians, bands & solo artists, both known & unknown talent, traveling the world to different locations 1-2x year, with these missions in mind:
THE MUSIC :: Record master musicians songs & tracks in a professional music studio & on the streets with portable field recorders.
THE REMIX :: Remix The Earth in collaboration with Splice.com will offer these recordings as a remix contest for producers to create their own version.
THE VIDEOS :: Original music videos representing each country/culture which can be viewed here or on our YouTube channel. We are also currently working on a documentary film, “Remix The Earth – uniting cultures through music & video”.
OUTREACH :: Whenever possible in each country getting involved with outreach volunteer work with at risk youth… teaching them the art of music production, music recording, DJ’ing, making music videos.
Non-Profit Mission Statement ::
We believe in transparency. We believe in the power of music, video & art to be abundant & help out with the problems in this world! Money generated by the film & music sales will be divided as follows: 50% of profits will go to fund children’s music programs abroad & in the USA, with the other 50% going back to Remix The Earth project missions mentioned above (hiring film editors for the documentary, paying musicians for studio time, marketing the music & videos created).
