Save the song of the humpback whale by creating your own! DJ’s (both amateur and pro) are invited to make your own Whale Remixes by downloading the humpback whale songs used in the Whale Remix Project to mash your own remixes offline. Use your remix skills to create a song that shows the world how beautiful these gentle giants really are.
Twenty-year old up-and-coming musician Luke Moellman from Miami, Florida was selected by a celebrity panel of pop musicians, including Johanna Fateman of Le Tigre, electronic music composer and producer BT, and Tom Dumont of No Doubt as the winner of the first Whale Remix Project contest.
As the Grand Prize Winner, Moellman will receive a 60GB video iPod, and will have his song featured in upcoming public service announcements about the growing whale slaughter around the world.
"[The Whale Song Remix Project] appealed to me for a few reasons. I'm a big fan of nature, so I was interested in supporting efforts to end the unnecessary killing of whales. The humpback whale has a fascinating sound, so I was really inspired to make a remix for the competition. I thought the whole contest was a great idea, especially the Flash-based remix program, which made it easy for anyone to get on the site and use those sounds to make something cool."
