Radiohead fans can remix ‘Nude’ single

Having allowed fans to decide how much its latest album is worth, Radiohead is now allowing them to shape how its new single, “Nude,” will sound. The British band, which let fans name their own price for downloading “In Rainbows” last fall, is posting five component tracks, or “stems,” from the single for purchase on iTunes. That will let them remix the stems to their own liking, or add beats, instruments or audio effects of their choosing.

The band wants fans then to upload finished remixes to www.radioheadremix.com, where other Radiohead fans can listen and then vote for a favorite. Voting runs through May 1. Remixers can also enable voting from their own websites, MySpace or Facebook pages that will count toward their vote total at Radiohead’s remix site. A spokeswoman for the band said it’s not meant to be a competition, and at least as of now, there’s no prize for the winner.

A statement issued Tuesday by the band said the stems for the song’s vocal, guitar, bass, drum and strings/effects tracks are compatible with a variety of music mixing software programs. People who buy all five stems during the first week they’re available will get an access code to a file that can be opened with certain software applications.
