Gymo: A Tribute to Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto
Posted on: September 9, 2008
… from Maximus Productions aka Max Fowler, the same badass remixer who reworked my piano performance of "Strayless"! OH, DREAMS COME TRUE!
This time, he took "Gymo" (not "Gyno", you perv), in itself a nod to Erik Satie (who influenced some of Sakamoto's Impressionist piano colorings like BTTB), and stuttered it up, added simple beeps, and soft background percussion. What's really kewl is this is a followup, after I recommended he check out Noto + Sakamoto, and taking my words to heart, came up with this, which you can DOWNLOAD:
Here's my original, which you can also DOWNLOAD as part of solo piano 7:
It's deliciously glitchy with a time-treasured blend of clicks + cuts — on the experimental side without descending into DSP wonkery sadness — and I'm honored! ROCK ON, MAXIMUS!
Have you done a remix of my music? Let me know… I may very well have to tell the world about it!
