Techtree News Staff, Apr 29, 2008 1424 hrs IST
Nokia's 'Xpress Music mixer' application allows users customize music for their listening pleasure, the company claims.
Nokia continues to connect people through music; the phone company has now teamed up with musical genius A R Rahman and music house 'Big Music' to run a month-long contest called 'Remix Rahman's Ada'.
Contestants need to remix two songs -- 'Gulfisha' and 'Gum Sum' -- from Rahman's upcoming film, "Ada... a way of life" using Nokia's 'Xpress Music mixer' application, which provides the option to remix music in accord with various genres like Jazz, Folk, Punjabi, Rock, etc. Participants also have the option to download the mentioned tracks from the Nokia Web site, and remix them using their own professional equipment.
The chosen remixed tune's composer will get an opportunity to spend one day with AR Rahman, and compose the remix "Ada" soundtrack with him at his studio. The winning remix will also be released through a music video profiling the winner and AR Rahman along with top ten finalists of the contest.
Nokia has associated itself with music through its XpressMusic line of phones since 2006. These music-centric mobile phones feature dedicated music keys allowing users to enjoy music on the go. Whereas the 'Xpress Music mixer' application allows users customize music for their listening pleasure.
For Nokia, this contest is an initiative to give youngsters an opportunity to express themselves through music, the company said. Budding musicians can take part in the 'Remix with Rahman' contest and submit their entries on the Nokia Web site between May 1 and May 30. The Xpress Music mixer application will be functional May 1st onwards.
