ARTIST ON ARTIST Interview series + First glimpses
Happy Temazepam Tuesday! I’ve just shuffled out of a 14 hour coma.
Stealing a page from the Sundance Channel, i’ve decided to include an interview series between myself and the remixers that have participated in the upcoming album. That means that you’ll be hearing the perspectives of Hecq, Set in Sand, Jfrank, and Dirty Fire Project on their remixes, their outlooks on music, and probably something about pandas.
None of these interviews have been coordinated yet, but i’m thinking of either recording them via skype [since 3/4 of them are on the other side of the planet] or just doing them in an instant messenger and posting them here.
What do you think? Would you rather read an interview or hear one?
Somewhere in the process of this blog, if and when it ramps up to the visibility levels i hope it does, i’d like to compile the questions that you, the audience have for myself (and my inner children) and post the answers here for you.
I planned on having a couple of bits of music for you to hear, but the wordpress blog plugins folder is not as robust as it should be yet. Later this week you’ll be able to start hearing some bits of tracks right in the blog.
For now, here’s an excerpt of track 7 of the upcoming album, entitled ‘beside you through the wires, forever’ and it serves as a tribute to all the people whom i’ve grown close to that i never would have met if it weren’t for this beautiful tangle of networks that wrap around the globe. I had the idea of communication, binary bits bouncing along light beams and the pulses of loved ones coming in sync as i was writing this. This track was also remixed by Dirty Fire Project, hopefully we can get them to talk about their version later this month.
Beside You Through The Wires, Forever [clip1] - mp3 link, right click->save as [in windows] or left click if you’ve got the right players installed.
jeez… that link text is dark isn’t it? Something i’ll be fixing asap.
