The Metallica Binary Remix Project is a way of reinterpreting musical notation and structure. Metallica songs are stripped down to their lyrics, and then the lyrics down to binary, and then using that binary as the structure for another piece.
Why Metallica? Because Metallica is the sworn enemy of binary, ever since their choice to support the RIAA in its never ending quest for making record execs wealthy. Binary is what annoyed Metallica, so let's use their binary and feed it back into the system, ourobouros style.
Anyone can make a binary remix, of any artist, in any style. Currently, the binary remix of "Freedom of Speech for the Dumb" is a ten minute long ambient piece; I intend to do a more abstract/IDM style binary remix of "Master of Puppets" sometime soon.
