The crash has happened, then, the music industry has gone down with the Dow, and there's no sign of anyone reviving it. I therefore approached this year with low expectations. Perhaps we would have music of the standard of say 1925, just with higher production standards. I was wrong.
1925 is still a good year to look to though, these two mixes are linked by a common thread; Russian documentary film-maker Dziga Vertov. As the cut-up sound collages he made in 1925 influenced the jagged sound of that year's mix, so a series of samples from his documentary "Enthusiasm" - along with pieces from Walter Ruttman's pioneering audio montage "Wochenende" - form the backbone of this also fairly harsh / jagged mix.
This time, however, the explosion in sound film has given me a lot more in terms of audio samples to cut up and push together. By "a lot more" I mean that the diverse qualities and sheer volume of source material which has gone into this mix made it feel like a huge project on its own. I feel like I've just lived through 1930. It was a fascinating time, this might well be the best mix I've made, but I also feel exhausted and emotionally drained by the experience. I am confident that this feeling doesn't come through in the mix, by the way.
Normally here I would write a longer blurb, but this time, well, sorry, that's it, but here's the music, go listen to it.
