A project to exhibit and review submitted audio bits.
The featured bits on the BitBoard are presented in two categories: NuBits and ClassicBits plus a special category.
1. NuBits
Each submitted bit in this category will be originally composed - in other words, without any recognizable audio content. This bit can still be a "found" sample as long as the source-content has been sufficiently obscured to become an original composition.
2. ClassicBits
Each submitted bit in this category contains recognizable content and can be a tiny sample from one's favourite song and/or composition. This category can include bits that were made from hybrid sample sources but where the content is still representational and/or recognizable.
3. BartosBits
A new category in honor of the new submissions by Karl Bartos.
Submissions are reviewed by the site administrators Jeremy Turner (CAN) and Janne Vanhanen (FIN). Further submissions and comments are welcome at transmitbit@yahoo.ca
WELCOME TO GREATESTBITS!
Please have a listen to the contents displayed above on the BitBoard. They are ordered alphabetically according to the submitters.
***GREATESTBITS NEWSFLASH!
***BRAND NEW BITS FROM KARL BARTOS!
The GreatestBits curatorial team are extremely pleased to announce the launch of brand new bits from Karl Bartos (ex-Kraftwerk). Through email correspondence, Karl directly suggested to Jeremy that he edit his fave 1 second bits from Karl's recent-classic “Communication” album himself. As a result, Greatestbits so far has chosen 8 bits from “Communication”. Karl has approved of them and has mentioned that we exhibit 2-3 of those bits at this time. Since these bits are both NuBits and ClassicBits, we felt Karl deserved a new category in his honour. It should be added that the GB staff are long-time Kraftwerk fans. Henceforth, bits from Karl Bartos will now be under their own unique category of BartosBits.
Please visit Karl's personal website and support his solo music at: www.karl-bartos.de
