I tried it with pinning like so:

/etc/apt/preferences

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 600

#unstable
deb http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org unstable main

deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org unstable main

#experimental

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main

but got this:

node1:/home/joehill# apt-get -t experimental install gnome-shell
