Joel Zimmerman, more commonly known as Deadmau5 has released fifty six of his earliest tracks for download absolutely free.

While the tracks are not anything you will be familiar with, they are certainly interesting to those who enjoy a bit of knob fiddling (musically speaking of course).

Joel, through a MySpace post, described them as "allllll [sic] sorts of random / idm / glitchy stuff":

the idea back then was to do a thing called "Project 56" which was 56 tracks for people with short attention spans...  instead of waiting years to finally throw it together,  i figured i'd just toss it to everyone.

so!  feel free to download and exploit these tracks in any way your evil heart desires....  if you use these commercially, all i ask is that you give credit where credit is due!

It's great to get an insight into such a talented artist's early experiments and getting permission to use them how you will makes it even sweeter.
