JAMES HOUSTON! JAMES HOUSTON! Embed your brain with this name and keep him on your watch list. The British graduate student of graphic design took on Radiohead’s remix challenge to remix the track “Nude” from their album “In Rainbows” for his graduate thesis. Although Houston missed the deadline for the competition, his rendition of the track takes an amazingly unique perspective, and has garnered much earned attention. For those of you who’ve heard the track (and I shun those of you who haven’t) the concept of remixing it seems futile. But because of the ridiculousness of it, is just how Houston approached it, as he stated, “I decided to take the piss a bit, as the contest seemed to be in that spirit.” Houston used ordinary objects including an Epson printer and a HP scanner which results in a fantastic jaw dropping sound.
