Goematronics Remix Competition launched
Creative Cape Town and its partners have launched the Goematronics Remix Competition and are inviting local musicians and digital enthusiasts to create their own goema-inspired remix. Goema is the musical idiom found at the heart of jazz standards by Abdullah Ibrahim, Robbie Jansen and Basil "Mannenberg" Coetzee.
The first prize includes a full week's worth of Red Bull Studio time, including use of the studio, recording and music production equipment, and the time of an engineer to oversee the project - valued at R35 000, as well as studio software Cakewalk from Paul Bothner Music, valued at R5 500.
The competition runs from 1 July to 28 August, 2011. To qualify, entrants must load at least one goema-inspired remix onto the Goematronics group on SoundCloud www.soundcloud.com/groups/goemarati-remix-competition before midnight on 28 August, 2011. Goema beats, banjo and sax samples can be downloaded from SoundCloud or entrants can create their own.
Sow seeds for a truly Capetonian musical movement
The winners will be announced during Creative Week Cape Town, between 9 and 18 September, 2011, following a decision by the judging panel, which includes Roach (African Dope Records), Mr Mo (Mofunk) and Denver Turner (formerly of Moodphase5 and Tykoon Suit).
Creative Cape Town's Zayd Minty said: "We have this wonderful home-grown sound and we have real talent in our city. Our hope is that this competition will fuse these two elements and sow the seeds for a truly Capetonian musical movement."
