ReWork Howard Jones is an online community project by electronic music pioneer, Howard Jones. The ReWork project will give music producers, both rising stars and old hands alike, the chance to remix//recreate//ReWork some of Howard Jones’ finest records.
The project launched this week with the release of remix parts for ‘Automaton’, a track taken from his 1985 platinum selling album, ‘Dream Into Action’. From now and beyond, Howard and his team will continue to release ‘sets’ of remix parts for a number of past classics; tracks picked from a music repertoire spanning in-excess of 25 years.
There's no mention of a formal contest with official prizes, but interested parties need not toil in vein.
"Whist the motivation of remixing an original synth-pop icon might be enough for many, Howard and his team will be paying special attention to the contributors that attract both their ear and the attention of the community peers. With copyrights returned and a burgeoning list of A-list studio hacks interested in reworking Howard, a new album concept has been born; details of which are for another day. What can be confirmed is that the overall ‘winner(s)’, if you like, will become part of said album concept."
