A long time ago.... I entered the Shock the Monkey remix competition and one mix i did called The Ballad of Enos was a runner up.

Another mixer, a cellist Scarborough, liked it a lot and kindly  transcribed it for a string quartet.

We agreed it would be great if we could somehow record it .

So Scarbourgh then enlists the help of a friend to record the cello parts and once done approaches another talented mixer Musicjunkie to do the violin work.

Musicjunkie then gets another friend to play the flute parts.

It's worth mentioning now that I am in the UK, Scarbourgh is in the USA and Musicjunkie is in Canada.

So eventually all of the separate recorded parts come back to me. I mix it and submit it to Realworld.

Unfortunately it’s rejected for being a cover.

That mix (this mix) I called NASA, which stood for, No Artificial Strings Attached. (copyright)

So not wanting to waste the effort of everyone involved I created a remix of these parts in another piece called Wings over Nasa, which was accepted.

The original here has been waiting on my drive for all of this time and now it’s free and airbourne again landing here to be played to the world. 

So if you know or have the time go find the talented Musicjunkie and Scarbourgh, over on Realworld Remixed pass on your comments to them directly, I know after all this time and their hard work, its due.
