November Release: Wixel - Somewhere Between The Sun & The Moon Part 2
About a year ago I released “Somewhere Between The Sun & The Moon” - a record I’m still proud of. I hadn’t listened to it in ages (musicians seldom like to hear their own songs unless they can still go back and change things) but when I did listen in order to make this November record, I didn’t felt the need to change bits. It’s the kind of record I’d still like to make. I don’t have that feeling with any other thing I did. I’m not saying it’s the best record ever, just that I think it’s fine the way it is. So….
For this month I wanted to go back to that period of my life, find the songs that didn’t make the cut, find alternate recordings, destroy and mix up different versions. If I was on Universal Records and they would release a Deluxe Edition of Sun/Moon, this would be the extra cd. It includes my stofstuk remix of Machinefabriek - which is less of a remix than a new song. It also includes the moment when I stumbled upon the “Outside Your Locked Heart” theme. You can literally hear that melody being born which is why I like it. I also remember that particular moment quite vividly. And then I remixed some songs that did and didn’t make the cut.
The songs on this record are nowhere as “good” as the Sun/Moon music - there’s a reason they didn’t make the cut! But still, to those few who’d like to see Sun/Moon expanded, here are some other songs that belong to the same soundworld and the same mindset. “Moon/Gone” for example only got cut off the record in the last definitive listening session of the record.
There are 30 copies available this time, send me an e-mail (wimmaesschalck@gmail.com) and I’ll hook you up with a copy. It’s 12 euro, shipping included.
Fluid WixMix
Fluid Radio - an excellent webstream I regularly put on at work - invited me to do a mix. I dug up some of my favourite tunes to fall asleep to and made one hour of sleepy wooziness. From Basinski to Some Tweetlove, Mount Eerie to Viktor Sjoberg, Tsukimono to Badalementi.. listen here: http://www.mixcloud.com/FluidRadio/wixel-exclusive/
