Alternative rock band Third Eye Blind is producing their next album, Ursa Major, in a creative way—with the help of fan-created remixes. Using the Indaba music collaboration site, fans can watch Third Eye Blind recording tracks for Ursa Major in the studio. After all the components for a song have been recorded, fans can mix and remix tracks. According to Wired.com, Third Eye Blind’s idea for Ursa Major may be the first time a band plans to intentionally leak the components that make up an album in advance of its release. As soon as Third Eye Blind finishes tracking a song for Ursa Major, they’ll put the stems up. For each set of stems, there will be a contest for user-submitted mixes and remixes. The winners will be featured on an Ursa Major companion compilation alongside Third Eye Blind’s final cuts.  We were just sort of brainstorming, and (McBride) was the one who said, 'You know, I'd like to see you put out stems before you put out the album, so that there isn't one preconceived notion of what this is," Jenkins told Wired.com.
"For a moment, I thought, 'Wow, I've always been so in control. I've always produced everything I've done (with the help of a mixer), every record I've made'... (McBride's) response was, 'spread the bounty, and the bounty will come.'
