Remixfight provides audio and asks people to remix and upload the resulting tracks. The most recent episode asks remixers to go to work on David Barnes’ LibriVox recording of the Universal Declaration of Human rights. Great stuff.

Descant on LibriVox
Canadian literary/arts mag Descant has a great article on LibriVox, including this nice little para:

There are no ads on the site and it proudly boasts a budget of $0. In short, it doesn’t pretend to be a place where commercial products are offered. The entire project … is built on a love of literature and a desire to get that literature out to others with similar inclinations. In fact, it is difficult to see how the
“business plan” could be converted into a money-making machine.
