You may not see The HERMIT playing venues the size of Wembly just yet, but you can expect to hear echoes of the epic sounds of his teenage heroes combined with the resonant sensibilities of the tracks on The HERMIT's studio albums. Live, each 'layer' of sound is played by a different member of his band who are; Hamish Thomson-drums, Robert Mitchell-keyboards, John Frederiksen-bass, and Mike Rogerson-guitar & keyboard and a rotating cast of guest vocalists that include Allison Shevernoha, Martina Sorbara, Frazey Ford, Shelley Campbell, CR Avery and Amalia Townsend. True to Thomson's creative process, the music is accompanied by projected visuals producing a full sensory experience. Electronic, organic and fully engaging, The HERMIT is centered by Thomson — still behind his kit — orchestrating a musical journey you hope never ends.
Extend the journey yourself by remixing these two tracks from the HERMIT from Wonderment, Flutterbye and Wonderment. Special note: NO MEGAMIXING. Remix each track separately, please: don't use parts from both songs in one composition.
Two Original Tracks
The HERMIT offered two tracks for remixing, Wonderment (listen) and Flutterbye (listen).About the Artist
The HERMIT is the creation of electronic explorer Hamish Thomson, whose voyage through new musical landscapes has no borders. Time spent holed up in experimental recording sessions aiming to combine his talent as a percussionist and drummer with his passion for electronic music pays off with a sound that combines the freedom of technology with the sensual organic quality of traditional instruments."I started as a drummer for other bands and had always contributed to the writing and vocal harmonies. I had the ability to play other instruments and sing but it took me a while to find my style and be brave enough to go on my own. Starting The HERMIT, I found myself needing to compose, produce and play all of the instruments myself — even if I was struggling with a guitar line that could have easily been played by someone else. It was an extremely liberating process that produced the first HERMIT album." This was the independently produced and released Flying Out Of Solitude.
Unconventional sounds that found their way into the music of The HERMIT originate from a curious collection of objects including a toaster oven. Vintage air organ and the distorted hum of effects pedals combined with real live drums added a texture and richness typically not found in the music of his peers.
Nettwerk Records took notice and quickly signed him to a contract, and re-released Flying, a remarkable debut which was nominated for a West Coast Music Award as Best Independent Release. The following year, Thomson was honored with two more West Coast Music Awards nominations for Male Artist of the Year and Best Electronic Release.
When the time came to record his second Nettwerk release Wonderment, Thomson welcomed collaborations with other talented musicians and vocalists.

At 12:00 a.m. midnight PST on Saturday, December 30, 1899, the contest will be closed and no further uploads will be accepted. If you are new to ACIDplanet, you should create an account and upload a song as soon as possible so that you can work out any problems with uploading that you may encounter. Also, uploading a song can take a considerable amount of time. It's better not to wait until the last few hours of the contest to start uploading your entry.
Entrants must upload a Windows Media format or Real Media format version of their entry first. You will not be able to upload any additional formats after the contest closes, so if also you want to upload an mp3 version, please allow enough time to upload them both before the contest closing time.
Entrants must provide accurate contact information (valid e-mail and postal address) in their registration at ACIDplanet.com for the purpose of contacting winners. You can update your contact information here.
Contest Content Help
No Links? If you do not see the "zip" links to the contest loops, it may be because you are running firewall or security software with Ad Blocking turned on. If so, please temporarily turn it off and the links should appear.
What is the .acd file in the sample remix? The .acd file is an ACID project file that contains a sample remix made from eight to ten of the contest loops. It can help you learn how to use ACID, or give you ideas about remixing the track. You don't need to use it, but you'll at least want to download the sample remix so that you get the loops.
Can't open the ACID file? The ACID project file (.acd file) is in ACID 3.0 format. It can be opened in ACID 3.0, 4.0 or 5.0, but not in ACID 1.0 or 2.0. If you are an ACID 1.0 or 2.0 user and you wish to view this file, you can either upgrade or download the current version of ACID XPress in the Tools area of this page. However, you do not need to view the .acd file to enter the contest. You can simply use the contest loops in any version of ACID or other software.
