Crashing happy is an open source remix project based on the sound of a system crash.
An Apple computer was forced to crash and while crashing, the sound was recorded.
This became a 28 minute automatic composision, very rich in sound and textures.
8 composers are invited to make pieces based on this material.
The invited composers are: John Hegre, Fransisco Lopez, Ulf Knudsen, Øyvind Brandtsegg, Asbjørn Flø, Christian Blom, Espen Sommer Eide, Trond Lossius. Jørgen Larsson will also participate.
A double CD is released, one with the raw automatic composision, the other with the composers' pieces.
CRASHING HAPPY is released under the Open Audio License, (O).
