twitter is a pretty neat place. over the past few years that I have used it, I’ve built up a fairly interesting set of connections to ppl. there is the subset of friends I know in person. another sub-set of ppl that i find post interesting for news/links. then there is the sub-set of ambient/exp musicians. i remember a disquite post years back (that i cant find even with google right now..) that was a list of ambient musicians he knew of on twitter. i started to follow the ones that made music i liked. i tried to post my tweets about music i was working on (at the time i was mainly using twitter for general communication or just plain ranting). slowly i started to make friends, we would listen to each others works. more musicians joined, we found each other, conversations grew. sharing happened.

its now to the point that i actually cant keep up with all the stuff i want to check out from this very interesting and international community. its also to the point where i can even keep up with the conversations.

for example @vuzhmusic probably posted about 4 times about a call to remix some of this work before i finally read the post. sometimes its just being at the right place at the right time. i think in this case it had something to do with a conversation we had. i had just posted a fairly different release for me glitch.dump and C. Rieder commented back mentioning it sounded like something he had done a few years back fine failures. i liked it and it was interesting to compare techniques.

during the time period from thanksgiving to about new years i dont really have time to plug my guitar in and make music. so the ability to create without an instrument during this time period is always very tempting. sometimes I will go back over sessions i recorded throughout the year and re-work them. this call for remixing c. reider came during that time period so i figured i would give it a shot. not knowing what to pick from his catalog i went with the album of his that started our connection. instead of remixing a track i treated the album as a whole and created what could be called a sampler of the album, or some crazy collage. i found parts of each song that i liked, fed them through some of my favorite sound tweaking modules in Live and created a nice new place. atleast i thought so.

i sat on it for like a month. mostly because i like to give things time. sometimes coming back to something with a break you find new bits you didnt hear before, or new ideas you didnt think of before. and because i am forgetful. luckily c. reider is very persistent and gave me a nudge “hey how’s it coming”. sometimes that is needed (i am a space cadet, basically).

besides that, i was suddenly nervous. it hit me, i just made a new work out of someone elses art. in some way this is very scared and i didnt even think about that when i volunteered or while i was working on it. what if i destroy the initial ideas/vision he had? what if its so embarrassingly bad he doesn’t want his name associated with it?

i feel my work flow is very nontraditional, i am not trained in any way. i learned Live by trial and error and i am sure there are more automated ways to do some of the things i do. so i worry that what i think sounds fine, someone more trained might go “ha! he made that novice mistake”

i am glad that c.reider enjoyed the remix i made. to cut to the chase here is his post about the whole release Do give them all a listen. it might take you all week but there is a lot of great remixes there that run the gamut of style using source material that also covers a lot of ground. I am happy to be included in such a fine group of musicians.
