As often happens, this didn’t go to plan, possibly for the best.
Several stretched and treated versions underlie an increasingly chaotic mangled version of the track. That’s all.
I played a lot of 78s as a kid (I still have many of them) so I love the old shellac crackle and hiss, which is why it’s featured and exaggerated.

The Assignment: Rework a shared recording from over 100 years ago
There is just one step to this project: This week’s project, the next to last of 2025, is a community remix. In an act of globe-spanning asynchronous holiday-season camaraderie, we’ll all work from the same shared source material, a recording that dates back well over 100 years. Download the performance of “Nina” by Hans Kindler (1892 – 1949) and remix it and rework it to your heart’s delight. The recording credits G. B. Pergolesi (1710 – 1736) as the work’s composer, but more recently it has become attributed to Vincenzo Legrenzo Ciampi (1719 – 1762).
