 Series
of unauthorized remixes (2002/2008)
conceived and executed at Giardino d'Inferno
Every now and then I hear things inside other things - things that
usually belong to someone else. I've been sampling music and noises
long before anyone invented the sampler: with records, cassettes,
1/4 inch tape, even jingle cartridges (for a performance in 1987).
But then it became dangerous, and the shadow of say Stockhausen
wanting money from me because I sampled some of his work became
too haunting (although I've gotten away with quite a bit). Still,
every now and then, I hear possible music into music, and I like
to pursue it. Such is the case with La Roba d'Altri (a
take on the italian translation of the 10th catholic commandment),
a series of remixes done just for me and my friends. Most of these
tracks are longtime favorites, whenever I could I asked for a blessing
(and Mr LaBounty was kind enough to give it to me). Another obsession
behind these remixes concerns Hidden Rhythms (an expression
from Migration by James Taylor): most of the beats are
simple drums transpositions of guitar, bass or piano riffs originally
in the songs.
You should obviously also listen to these tunes as they've been
recorded by their authors, always credited in full below (with links
to pages where you can preview and buy the album or song). These
tracks are here for demostrational purpose only, no download. |
