Remix Madness!
Good things on the remix front.
1) An editorial pick on CCmixter for my Spoon remix !
2) Remixes galore, people are listening and making my voice a part of their own music which is incredibly satisfying.
I have to report, the more and more I delve into the world of creative commons the happier I have become. I just find it pretty cool that some dude in Barcelona takes a microphone into a library one day and two years later I am mixing it into a weird love ballad called Breaking Apart. The building of something so giant and collective, yet your tiny part is so important.
The only strange part of this particular road I have taken is that I am playing my piano less and less, but my work is becoming less structured and reliant upon complicated chord changes. I am paying more attention to percussion and transitions and finding melody in tiny, millisecond pieces of music that I can manipulate and turn into harmonic progressions.
And no, I haven’t started smoking pot.
So first off, I mix Murat (Ses) and Murat mixes me. This guy has done quite a lot musically, and has put some work up into the creative commons based upon traditional Anatolian themes and chord progressions. I have learned that the etymology for Anadolu comes from two words: mother and full, or to be full of Motherliness which I most certainly am!
Mourning Dew (Ana Dolu Mix)- Kaer Trouz Featuring Narva9 & Murat Ses
Anatolia Meets Central Asian Steps-Murat Ses Featuring Demir, Kaer Trouz & pingnews)
and then a super fun, poppy dance number from Slumberlords in Alicante, Spain
Falling-Slumberlords featuring KaerTrouz (vocal from My Apocalypse Now, vertical Split Mix)
and a lovely ballad from Darkroom (aka mactonite)
Breaking Apart-Darkroom featuring Kaer Trouz (vocal from Breaking Apart, Sous Bois)
That’s a lot of music in one week-end, non?
