10,000 views! - CalendarGirl - June (Elijah Lucian Remix)

One hour beat. woo! Grabbed a pella from my favorite place CCMixter.org and tried to make it fit. still a rough mix, I kind of like the clash of the melody with the chord progression. I don't actually know the original song at all.

ABOUT THE 1 HOUR BEATS

My name is Elijah Lucian from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

This is my sketchbook.

My 1 Hour Challenge will be to post beats/sketches that I spend no more that - you guessed it - 1 hour on. I'm going to try things I don't usually try. The Challenges will have the dates in the header of the post. The main idea is to capture the raw creativity of the musician, which usually occours during that first hour of "flow"

Part of the daily challenge will be to do specific genres so if you want me to take a stab at a certain style drop me a message. The mixes will be interesting, the productions may be srange, the arrangements may be erotic, who knows what will happen!

I hope to have guest singers and instrumentalists in sometimes too to mix it up. so let me know if you want to come over and take the 1 hour challenge!

Also If any singers/emcees come across this page and one of the beats inspires you, contact me about licensing out final versions of the beats!

my actual productions can be found in the player below or here:

MYSPACE | SOUNDCLOUD | ELIJAHLUCIAN.CA

WANT TO BE A PART OF 1 HOUR BEATS?

there are 3 steps involved...

1. make something - ANYTHING - but you can only spend a max of 1 hour on it, then email it to me @ elijahlucian@gmail.com

2. I will then spend 1 hour taking whatever you give me and turn it into something cool, funky, strange or something completely different.

3. Listen & Share our combined genius.

-OR-

Take on the challenge with one of my beats on this page

1. Listen thru the player below and tell me what date you liked, I'll send you the beat.

2. You have 1 hour to write and record your part(s) and send them back to me.

3. I will take an extra hour and finish it off. (it's all about that 1 hour increment).

4. Listen & Share our combined genius.
