Yet again, I've neglected to post anything for several months. I finished this one while at jury duty earlier this month.

Enjoy.

Idioteque 2.0

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 17:21:04 -0700

This is a remix of one of my favorite tracks on Radiohead’s Kid A. I limited myself to using samples only from the original, just to make it interesting. Actually at the very end I slipped in a sample from the string quartet version, but that almost doesn’t count

1/1.1

I didn’t really sit down to write a “re-make” or “re-mix,” but that is kind of what ended up coming out. All the musical “material” I used came from the first six notes of “1/1″ from Music for Airports, everything else you hear are just overtones.

This track came about as part of my application for a job at Cuyamaca College. I got the job, so I guess that’s all that really matters.

Council of Trent

Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:18:13 -0800

This is basically the Kyrie from Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli chopped up, slowed down, and twisted. I suppose this might qualify as sacrilege for some, but I think it sounds pretty cool, and is just as moving as the original.

The National Anthem

The third track from Kid A arranged for solo electric double bass. Recorded live at Rick College, Rexburg, ID.

Crosseyed and Remixed

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 17:12:35 -0700

A re-mix of "Crosseyed and Painless" by Talking Heads. Most samples come from the original song, a few others come from other tracks on Remain in Light. This one as thrown together in a few days. I am not really totally happy with this one, but sometimes the best way to make a piece better is to move on. This is one of those transition pieces for me...
