Hey, all you DSP abusers!

I recently did the editing and mastering of a piece my mother wrote.
It's a string quartet called "The Arcadia Quartet", and her name
is Linda Worsley.

Even though she is my mum, I feel confident in saying that she is a first
rate composer, and that this is a really cool piece of music.  She's
told me that a lot of the rhythmic feel of it was inspired by the rock
music she heard via her offspring -- in particular the guitar ostinatos
from the Edge in U2.

I'm planning on doing at least one remix myself and I'd like to see
a couple of other people try their hand at it.  My ultimate goal is
to release a CD of her piece with remixes, which would definitely be
novel in the classical world.

If you're interested, the quartet in it's entirety is up at

This is a professional studio recording, so there is plenty of really
nice string sounds for sampling.
