about

I haven’t seen or heard from Bill for many years now, but back in the ’80’s, on occasional performing visits to Toronto, he would stay with us. Once, in ’87 or ’88 i happened to be working on something that i asked him to contribute to. It was first thing in the morning (i’m an early riser) & he had been sleeping on a couch in my home studio and had barely opened his eyes when i asked him if he’d like to add an overdub on Elvis Presley’s take on Leiber & Stoller’s Don’t, to which i had already individually added isolated responses from 4 other musicians (drums, double bass, and 2 pianists). The experiment in those dawn-of-the-remix days was to replace Elvis’s original backup completely with participants who aren’t hearing each other: they are only responding to hearing Elvis.
Bill asked how i wanted him to play, and i asked him what he thought of the source song, and he said he thought it was beautiful, so i asked him to play that way. We were done in about fifteen minutes, during which he did did 3 takes; and i used them all together.
In the original mix Elvis's new backup band are situated mostly near the threshold of the subliminal. Recently i came across three 8-track tapes (not the cartridge kind) of the source recordings, in somewhat rough shape, & nonetheless i’ve endeavoured to bring those accompanying instrumental voices closer to the surface of audibility, aided by recent advances in Artificial Inferencing. This has resulted in a new mix, as well as some sub-mixes which i feel stand on their own.

about

plunderphonics Antarctica

plunderphonics is the genre title coined by John Oswald to 'cover the counter-covert world of converted sound and retrofitted music, where collective melodic memories of the familiar are mined and rehabilitated to a new life. The blatant borrowings of the privateers of sound are a class distinct from common sample pocketing, parroting, and tune thievery.' ... more
