[wordup] Trent Reznor releases "sources" to his latest single

[Adam Shand]

This is cool.  Really really cool.  I've gotten pretty tired of NIN  
over the years but maybe I'll just buy that new album now to check it  
out.

Hello all-

For quite some time I've been interested in the idea of allowing you  
the ability to tinker around with my tracks - to create remixes,  
experiment, embellish or destroy what's there.

I tried a few years ago to do this in shockwave with very limited  
results. After spending some
quality time sitting in hotel rooms on a press tour, it dawned on me  
that the technology now exists and is already in the hands of some of  
you.  I got to work experimenting and came up with something I think  
you'll enjoy. What I'm giving you in this file is the actual  
multi-track audio session for "the hand that feeds" in GarageBand  
format.  This is the entire thing bounced over from the actual Pro  
Tools session we recorded it into.  I imported and converted the tracks  
into AppleLoop format so the size would be reasonable and the tempo  
flexible.

So...

You need a Macintosh and you need GarageBand 2.0.  If you have a newer  
Mac, you already have the software.  The more RAM you have the better.	
I did this on a PowerBook 1.67 w/ 2G RAM but it has been running on far  
less powerful systems. Drag the file over to your hard disk and double  
click it.  Hit the space bar.  Listen. Change the tempo.  Add new  
loops.	Chop up the vocals.  Turn me into a woman.  Replay the guitar.	
Anything you'd like. I gave this to my crew and band to test out and  
all work effectively stopped for a while - it's fun to mess around  
with.  I've now heard a country version of the track as well as an  
abstract Latin interpretation (thanks, Leo).

There are some copyright issues involved, so read the notice that pops  
up.  Giving this away is an experiment.  I'm interested to see what  
comes of it, what issues are raised and what the results are.

Have fun-
Trent Reznor
