NIN Remixes

Project Overview

These remixes were created using the multi-track source files released by Trent Reznor. The remixes are completely different from the originals, yet still retain part of their feel due to almost all of the sounds originating from the samples provided.

There is no formal release for this collection, since although the samples have been freely distributed by their copyright holder for the public to do with as they see fit, it must be of a strictly non-commercial nature. This is an ongoing project and more remixes will be added over time.

The multi-track files for Ghosts, Year Zero and With Teeth are available at the official Nine Inch Nails remix site. The files for 'The Big Come Down' are no longer available for download.

About Achenar

Based in Aviemore, in the Highlands of Scotland, Achenar was formed in 2003 by sole member, Duncan Hemingway. Not tied down to any particular style, inspiration is taken from a wide variety of influences. Genre restrictions are ignored while utilising whatever various elements are appropriate for the music, which is often a combination of traditional organic instruments with modern electronic sounds.

Music composition first started on the Amiga computer in 1990, using the program Protracker. When technology finally caught up to ambition in 2003, allowing for absolutely everything to be handled by a single person, the music inevitably turned more serious and professional. The skills of sound creation and intricate effect use, learnt during the old tracking era, were carried forward and combined with modern audio capabilities.
