Description

Okay, this was fun! I strung the three 30 second cuts into a balanced and edited single track and used the resulting wav file to create an ‘improvisation’ using a demo copy of The Mangle. This was edited and re-ordered.

The rhythm tracks towards the end were made from a short random sample from the Austista track. Short random samples from the other two were used to create drones during the piece.

The ending – the last minute or so – is a montage using the (reversed) rhythms put through delay, Blue Cat and Crazy Ivan, and three sets of cloned samples staggered and separated by 2.5 tones each.

The Assignment: Make one track from three different netlabels, courtesy of a Creative Commons license.

Seeing the “ND” tag on a netlabel release is a major buzzkill. The “ND” tag denotes a Creative Commons license that rules out creating derivative work. Fortunately lots of netlabels do allow for creative reuse, and this occasional series of collaborative remixes seeks to celebrate that activity, and encourage other netlabels to switch off the ND tag. Take “NND” to mean “not no derivatives.”

Step 1: Download the three tracks that will provide source audio for this remix:

Use the first 30 seconds of “HNY” off the album Wormbole by ʞık (Karl & Karlik) on the Bump Foot netlabel:

Use the first 30 seconds of “Pepper Jelly” off the album Recombinations by Andre Darius and Riley Theodore on the Haze netlabel:

https://hazenetlabel.bandcamp.com/album/recombinations

Use the first 30 seconds of “Autista 3” off the album Autista by Pablo Reche on the Impulsive Habitat netlabel:

Step 2: Create an original piece of work including that source material.
