    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.

  • Very Limited Edition, ever changing Double CD
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Since this album changes from year to year, I only make 10 or 20 copies at a time, knowing that when they sell out, it will be time to make a new version. Usually by that time, someone else has submitted a new remix, which 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 process. This is what good music does, and it's why I've been so into the idea of remixing. A remix takes something that's done, and changes it, makes it into something else. And this can be done indefinitely if the song is fertile and the remixer creative enough. I'm done with thinking of music as something that's done. Currently, the CD version is made up of two CDs. The first one is rather eclectic, ranging from IDM to hip hop to all sorts of stuff that don't fit into any known genre. The second disc features some of the more ambient, abstract, and epic remixes. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this project (since 2005!). The images seen here are some of the old covers this thing has had over the years.

about

Fifth Story is one of my favorite songs I have ever written. It's over a decade old, and I never get tired of playing it. That's only true of a couple tunes I've ever written. I originally recorded it for my 2001 self-release "A Yes, A No, A Straight Line, A Goal", which I have since discontinued making, simply due to the poor sound quality of the album. I re-recorded this song for the "Aerial Roots" album, but I decided not to include it there. Hopefully it will come out some time in 2011 on a split. Keep your eyes peeled.

lyrics

When you find yourself alone don't come to me. The photographs have been taken off my shelf. I've been doing just fine despite the days and nights that can hardly read your line. I've been thinking today that if you want you could come home if you have have nowhere else to stay.

This was the first remix I ever received in which the remixers wrote lyrics for a song that was instrumental. I met The Together At Last in London, Ontario while on tour, and I loved their music. Sadly, they are not together anymore, but each of them have other projects now.
