The contest follows on the success of Nine Inch Nails’ recent release of the single "The Hand that Feeds," which was made available in GarageBand™ format from Apple®. Having reached a significant number of users, Nine Inch Nails’ leader Trent Reznor and Interscope Records chose to expand the scope of the effort by offering this new single constructed in audio .wav files, the most ubiquitous sample format, which is suitable for use in most music creation applications such as ACID software “The ACIDplanet online community is very large and consists of incredibly devoted music fans, which parallels the Nine Inch Nails’ following,” said Courtney Holt, head of new media for Interscope Records. “Not only are we expanding the contest by including leading remix technology from Sony Media Software, but we are tapping into an ideal audience that we are sure will be thrilled to turn Nine Inch Nails’ complex soundscapes upside-down.” Anyone can now join Nine Inch Nail’s Trent Reznor in a virtual studio to modify his latest hit track.
