THE WEB - REMIXED

As you can see with Magnetfisch's Raumstift, Energy 52's Café del Mar and Koenig Cylinder's Carousel, i also like to do remixes besides my own tracks. This all started in may 2008 as i listened to the first album of 80ies new wave band Rheingold. I came about the track Pirata, a very nice instrumental piece of synthpop, which i had heard before but didn't know it was from Rheingold. I thought wow, what a track - but what is missing here a bit when you've gone through the area of 90ies techno/electronic sound is bass and drums... Well, why not try to pimp this track a little bit? I took samples from the track, modified them slightly, rearranged them and added a heavier beat and basslines. That was that! Pirata THE WEB style :-) Since the process was fun and i was pleased with the result, i've done this with a few more tracks - most tracks are from the 80ies. I tried to keep the remixes quite close to the original so that the original groove/feeling of the track is not spoiled. ...bit an excepion to this is Trip In the Air (and Another...), where i transformed the Oldfield track "Foreign Affair" (feat. Maggie Reilly) to a new one.


Here you can download the results. But note that these are all inofficial remixes, so be careful what you do with them (copyright hell...) ;-)
The dubbed remix of Pink Floyd's Money (Money / Shocked) can be found on my Mouse Costumes EP in full glory.

THE WEB - The monoton Water Suite

After doing a few remixes on some 80ies tracks (REMIXED) again in spring 2009 and Café del Mar remixed in summer 2009 - and an "artistic break" in autumn, it was about time for a series of new tracks (december 2009 / january 2010).

First i had no idea what it should be. But when i came about playing around with these „Korg MS-10 drum sounds“ from monoton X and monoton rem X a little bit i felt like building yet another track with them. I especially liked the drop like sounds, so i wanted to modify and use them extensively - pictures of water appeared in my head and i began to work on an „electronic water track“. How obvious to change the working title „monoton Z“ to Electric Water.
I completed this track and used the basis for yet another track. i was in a flow... underwater... submarines... – yes! sonar sounds are cool! they have to come in too;  and „monoton T“ became Submarine. After dark there must be light, so i came to a correspondig alternative version of Submarine: Dubmarine. In this track, light (dur) changes into dark (moll) and vice versa.

Since these tracks are similar in their sound, theme etc. i came to the idea of coupling them together as one underwater space techno opera, and what was missing was a closing track. It was clear that after all this driving sharp beats it would have to be something smooth and downtempo. I called this track Heartbeat of Poseidon. ...it’s becoming quite obvious when you listen to it;-) The monoton Water Suite was completed. But because i liked the drum only part in the middle of Heartbeat of Poseidon so much and wanted to use it at higher speed too, i transformed the downtempo track to Poseidon Highway and added it to the album.

Note that for these tracks, not a single drummachine sound was used. All drum sounds are  sounds sampled from a Korg MS-10 and modified as needed.
