This classical-music based mix was built upon the skeletal structure of burned out Chevrolets an unreleased mix from 2012, entitled ‘another fripp’ (which was a Robert Fripp inspired mix revolving around his release ‘The Wine of Silence‘). I was never fully enthralled with the final deliverable and would pop it on & off my phone for listening now & again.
Then, this past March, I received a promotional copy of Izumi Kuremoto‘s Late Chrysanthemums, which I very much enjoyed. And in April, I tripped across Daníel Bjarnason‘s ‘Recurrence’ while on Twitter; and the mixological wheels began to churn…
Thus ‘s i g n s’ (parts 1 & 2) became a mix project wrapped around “Recurrence“, performed by the Iceland Symphony Orchestra (and recycling a few of the compositions from ‘another fripp’).
It is one of the more aggressive projects I’ve undertaken in awhile: segmenting tracks, using portions of material or bits of compositions & layering tracks to construct an entirely new & reconstructed f-l-o-w of sound.
The cover art is a nod to an old & strange fiancé of mine, named g.a.b. l@bs – ;- )
