In 1984 at the Summer Festival in Rajneeshpuram, Oregon, while Osho was in silence, we gathered daily in Rajneesh Mandir, the 2.5-acre meditation hall, and listened in Osho’s presence to discourses he had previous given. One day the question asked of Osho was: What is the one thing we need to be more like you?…

“When Clocks Dream of Wind”, a MemRemix®-style song (https://www.memremix.com), based 99% on the lovely wooden sounds of our kitchen clock tick-tocking at 3 AM one morning. Kick, snare, and high hats created with Deep Sampler from the original field recording. Wind sounds from white noise, and I couldn’t resist layering in one of Dash Glitch’s…

This song is a “pure” MemRemix®-style song with all sounds derived from a field recording I made of some wild turkeys gobbling outside our house early one morning. I’m excited to share that I used a new tool from Audialab called Deep Sampler, which uses artificial intelligence to analyze a submitted sound and return a…

My girlfriend had a suggestion for a SoniSigil™ that beautifully blends the intention of a general-purpose MemRemix® soundscape (to musically capture an important life event) with the intention of a SoniSigil™ (to manifest a wish for the future). At the birth of a child, the parents (or others) could record themselves wishing for the child…

My latest MemRemix song, an up-tempo psytrance-ish tune, all sounds of which are transformations of a field recording I made of cars on a cobblestone street in downtown Philadelphia while visiting the Liberty Bell and other local Americana…well, all sounds except the vocals. That field recording can be heard at the start of the song…

All sounds are based on field recordings of two friends saying “Oh Wow”, except for the drumkit, percussion, and bassline in the first section, and the drumkit in the second section. I’m not responsible for any sounds you might hear that I didn’t put into the song. I’m also not responsible for any spontaneous flashbacks…

While MemRemix soundscapes are a great way to capture the memories of important life events, they are also a great way to capture the memories of a place, and one of the most important places for many people is the place we call home. For Christmas this year I field-sampled the big chimes outside my…

I recently entered Yalcin Efe’s sample flipping contest “Four Producers/One Sample (aka 4P1S) “Community Edition”. The sample to be flipped was the sound of the old internet dialup connection sound: The contest doesn’t require MemRemix’s “extreme flipping” restriction—using only the sample as source material—but I decided to self-restrict and treat it as MemRemix client. Except…

Night Before the Hunt (aka The Rave in the Cave) As a first example of a MemRemix soundscape, I imagined that the fictitious caveman painter on our Home page asked me to turn his gruntings into a MemRemix soundscape. This was a bit challenging, as the source material is quite limited in both length (about…

Just Don’t Know I am terrified and exhilarated at the same time. MemRemix is an “experimental business”, following its own Prime Directive: Let go of all expectations. Right now, MemRemix consists of just me, Thomas “Nik” Zakrzewski, responding to soundscape requests. I’m not sure if any other musician-producers will join the MemRemix Team, how much…
