Cyclic Bits: The Raymond Scott Variations
|
"Cyclic Bits" is the first remix album of the music of remarkable composer and inventor Raymond Scott. This album is a series of reinventions of the work of a true musical maverick, remixed by a host of today's most inventive musical mavericks. The diversity of the release reflects the profound influence Scott's work has had on composers working across the board of styles and approaches. Originally created as a special for Ergo Phizmiz's Phuj Phactory on WFMU, a projected release never happened. This, at last, is it. Although this work is FMA licensed, please contact the individual artists regarding any usage permissions. - via Chinstrap Music, the new noncommercial netlabel from Ergo Phizmiz |

Nice Cover - Primix for Kids
An awesome album by Pierlo and Tracky Birthday, together as Primix For Kids, released on UpitUp.
The artwork cames by the musicans and in my mind it's very lovely.
There is also a very funny minisite for this release. You'll find it here.
Some nice words of Tracky about this Album:
»When I was a kid my favorite game was "the folding game": one person draws a head on a piece of paper, folds that part back so that the other person can only see where the drawing ends. Then the other person has to draw the body, fold that as well and so on.
My friend Pierlo in Rome and I always wanted to make music together, and we were looking for a good way to bridge the distance without losing the fun. So we tried to copy the principal of the folding game onto our music, creating a technique we like to call primixing, which is different from just remixing. One person prepares the rough base for a song, leaving it open what musical direction to follow. The other person remixes that base and adds new elements, then returns it. This can go back and forth until the song seems complete.
Unlike making music on your own, you have to keep in mind that what you compose is to be left open and accessable. It is like passing the ball to each other, while it starts out easy and assisting, and turns out difficult, complex or just funny….«
