Brooklyn MC Domer Creates Interactive Hip-Hop Album & Contest
Brooklyn-based indie-hop innovator Domer is back with a brand new kind of musical project - one that has never been attempted before in hip-hop. Domer’s My Favorite EP is an interactive album that allows producers and fans to create their own versions of his music.
Domer has recorded vocals for five songs with no beat underneath, just lyrics rapped to a metronome and posted online for producers all over the world to run with. Now he is inviting music producers to create the backdrops for these lyrics.

By keeping a carefully ambiguous tone in lyrical content and delivery, Domer allows producers to take the EP in any musical direction they choose. Once Domer finalizes the various versions of the EP (which already range from party tracks to introspective electro to minimal electro-dub), they will all be posted online for free download and listening.
But that’s not the best part.
The twist is that the actual choice of the My Favorite EP lineup and song order will be left in the hands of every journalist, blogger and fan who participates. Everyone is invited to choose their favorite version of each song and create a custom-made version of My Favorite EP according to their own tastes.
“I wanted to blur the line between artist and listener,” Domer said. ”The direction of the album is in everyone’s hands but mine and will continue to be till the project is over. It’s cool because it really gets people involved in the process and kind brings the open-source philosophy to music in a new way.”
The vocal tracks can currently be found in Domer’s blog at iamDOMER.com and he expects to post the finished versions by mid-November, following his return from an October ‘07 national US tour.
