Also to say that beauty comes in many forms. It is nice to listen to
something that is beautifully structured and imaculate but a controlled
chaos form is also very interesting. Sounds and ideas move in very
unperdictable and sometimes pleasing ways. By sampling and manipulating the
sound of CD's skipping a new area is explored. Genrally speaking we don't
want our CD players to skip, thats bad, however if you utilize in a musical
form or gesture you cause people to reconsider this. But really i only do
it to make more sounds for my sampler :)
I'm also curios, whats happening with this idm remix project? is it over?
will there be another? IF there is can I get my name on the list of
remixers, i'd love to give it a stab, sounds like fun! Is there a
compilation of all the remixes available?
