Every once in awhile a ReMix comes along that blows your mind in all arenas - fantastic production, amazing instrumentation and musicianship, world-class recording, ornate and nuanced arranging, and impeccable attention to detail. This is not such a ReMix, but wait - don't go away so soon. Newcomer zid has submitted something that, while not flooringly refined, nevertheless has some real character. As the title suggests, this was created using guitar and a Nokia 3310 cellphone - you'll be able to pick out the cellphone real easily :) Orkybash sums it up well: "No, it's not the greatest technical mix. But I laughed my ass off at the cellphone, and every so often I think OCR needs a remix that isn't meant to blow you away by it's technical merit or arranging skill, but to make you smile while you listen to it." - guitars are actually both processed and played rather well, though throughout the piece there is an interminable and blatant bit of line hum. This certainly falls under the "use what you've got" category of artistic merit - I can assure you of this: were I or many people I know trapped in a room with a guitar and a Nokia 3310 cellphone and wanting to create a ReMix, the result would be far less pleasant. Whether you listen to this often or don't really "get" it and prefer those ReMixes that DON'T use personal communications devices in cruel + unusual ways, hopefully you'll see what we all saw, which was a pretty neat piece of music, in terms of arrangement and instrumentation, that's got a lot of soul. Next time you're on the go with your cell and your acoustic guitar, entertain your friends, family, or random passers-by with this plucky piece from zid.
