New Copy, Cassette
This is a 120 minute tape featuring my favorite remixes of my own music. Since this album changes from year to year, I only made 50 copies of this version, knowing that when they sell out, it will be time to make a new version. Usually by that time, at least one new person has submitted a new remix I'm into, which generally changes the running order of the whole album. And I like it like that. The whole idea is to try and approach a musical object more like a musical process. We make objects to convey and create processes, but we should not forget that the object, unlike the process, is frozen in time, and ceases to change. What I love about the idea of remixing is that it takes something that's done, frozen, complete, and changes it, makes it into something else. And this can be done indefinitely if the song is fertile and/or if the remixer creative enough. I'm done with thinking of music as something that's done. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this project (since 2005!), and to those remixers who continue to inspire me about what my music can sound like.
