"Tron: Legacy" soundtrack remix contest

The TRON: Legacy soundtrack, composed and produced by the iconic and critically acclaimed duo, Daft Punk, was the highest charting score soundtrack in over a decade when it was released last December. On April 5, Walt Disney Records will release the remix album TRON: Legacy RECONFIGURED, which features an eclectic mix of acclaimed DJs, remixers and producers including M83, Photek, Moby, Com Truise, and others. Now Indaba Music http://www.indabamusic.com/tron is giving its community the chance to remix tracks themselves, with the grand prize winner’s track to be considered for airplay on internationally renowned radio station KCRW and featured on the KCRW Music Blog, as well as the chance for the winning mix to be released by Walt Disney Records. The winner will also receive an iPad2 and the TRON: Legacy original motion picture soundtrack deluxe vinyl box set. Ten runners-up will receive the TRON: Legacy original motion picture soundtrack deluxe vinyl box set. Remixers can work with any of the three songs on the Indaba Music site, “The Grid,” “Derezzed” or “End of Line,” but mashups will not be accepted. There is no limit to the number of entries per person. Submissions are due by April 27, 2011 at 5:00 PM EDT, and the online voting for 20 finalists ends May 11, 2011 at 5:00 PM EDT. Jason Bentley, the music supervisor for TRON: Legacy and also KCRW’s Music Director and Host of Morning Becomes Eclectic, will listen to submissions to determine the Grand Prize Winner, and will select the 10 runners-up from the 20 finalists as chosen by the Indaba community. Pre-order TRON: Legacy RECONFIGURED from the TRON: Legacy soundtrack website, where you can also order the deluxe box set that comes with a digital EP featuring previously unreleased tracks, the movie on DVD or Blu-ray, a poster, and more.
