I didn't see a thread for this, so here it is now! Post your own remixes and Keen-related musical compositions here.
I'll start because I just made this while learning to use Ableton. (It's the 2nd thing I've made in it.) It's an "Eat Your Vegetables" remake.

That was fun, TMST! I have to say, the clipped releases of the melody's first few notes combined with the already short duration of the bass/marimba accompaniment made those particular few seconds sound hokey, but the rest of the composition was fun to listen to.

Thanks for sharing!

Heehee... That was great! Do another if you have so much spare time.
The chords at 0:43 feel like the song could be taken into one of those far-out never-ending jazz tangents. Love it when the wild sawtooth appears. You'll have to swing by my place to give me Ableton lessons once you deem yourself pro.
I also did a thing for this thread because it needs more replies.

I dig it. The beginning has maybe kind of a detective vibe.
I did a couple of Keen remixes years ago but I think I already posted 'em here at some point. Or if not here then on a previous version of the forum...

Excellent postings. Have nothing to offer right now. I think I once made a horrible, crudely overdubbed version of Fribbulous Xax music on cassettes when I was ten, on my violin, tin whistle and, uh, some percussion. I doubt it still exists.

Pretty damn sweet tune, that.
Violin you say, Benvolio? I can't compose digitally but perhaps I could whip up something with my violin now you've given me the idea...
