collabs, remixes, & experimental

Thank you oh festival that we shall not speak its name, for meeting people like Grimes. Top Gent, on the ball, honest as fuck. Also called me a House Music Stormtrooper. Init.

This show has been a long time coming, and we had a rare Soundart FM misfire last week when the show failed to air due to the boys being away at a festival. The Swine.

Get it down yours ears, Grimes in effect, Live Stuff. 

All tracks written and produced by Grimes Adhesif

Went to Berlin for a little do. Round at Mudkids house on the first night we had a little warmer upper for Soundart Radio.

A 30 minute live set that i recorded for the hypercolour lads for their weekly Rinse FM show. 20th March 2015. https://soundcloud.com/hypercolour_glasstable/hypercolour-rinse-fm-show-34

This is a piece I made for the The Science Museum's OraMIX competition--where we were given stems of bits made by the amazing Daphne Oram.   
We were meant to imagine what Oram would have composed for the 1967 TV show "Our World"--a TV show where everything had to be live.
For this reason, I decided to base my piece around improvisations and live transformations that I performed in real-time on the new ipod mini-version of Oram's own Oramics Machine--imagining Oram performing it live for the show. The rest of the piece is made by manipulating the stems provided using basic music concrete techniques.






Your Birdsong Stays on My Mind (for OraMIX)

A fun little project I was part of in 2009. An 100-artist "cover" of Phish's Gamehenge, organized by Little Fury Things records. We were each given a tiny slice of the original piece of music... and asked to make our own over of it. So mine was slice "69". heh. The finished product consists of 100 slices that you can line up  and listen to in order---each by a different artist. All was available via free download, here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/nz991q

Gamehenge 69

This track is a collaboration between the amazing <a href="http://soundcloud.com/soft-enerji">Soft Enerji</a> (Mark Blane in Australia) and myself. A little while ago he heard a weird little 1 minute 'musique concrete' piece that I made, and asked if he could further develop it. Well... THAT he DID!

I totally ADORE what he's done with it. Made it into something entirely different, and yet, it still so much maintains the core of the original. I actually now can't imagine it otherwise. My only wish is that is was even longer.

Check out Mark's work here: <a href="http://soundcloud.com/soft-enerji">Soft Enerji</a>

Rust by Alex Ookpik - further corroded by Soft Enerji

A crazy little electroacoustic miniature piece, created for this year's 60x60 (Vox Novus). 

Description: Minimally processed and edited live recording of an improvised performance on hot water tap. Make and vintage of hot water tap: unknown.

(I should mention too that it had to be 60 seconds or less, for 60x60, but I could maybe post a longer version that I had, eventually)


Hot Water (for 60x60 2012)

Alex Ookpik, Widow's Walk (quivion remix)

Alex Ookpik was a Montréaler writing, performing and producing avant-pop and electroacoustic music (Dec.7th, 1975 - Nov.24th, 2016). Her first album MegaFauna is here on bandcamp : https://alexookpik.bandcamp.com/releases     It has been released digitally and as a limited edition cd. One hundred percent of the proceeds go directly to the Alexandra Olsen Memorial Bursary at Concordia University for a female electroacoustic / electronic music composer. Her second album will be release in 2018. Thanks so much for supporting her musical legacy !

Her music bridges the worlds of pop and experimental music; taking in acoustic instruments, synthesis, field recordings, and studio manipulations.

Former lead-singer and keyboard player of the Montreal post-rock band Marlowe (1995-2005); releasing two albums and sharing the stage with Tindersticks, Snowpony (ex-My Bloody Valentine & Stereolab), April March, The Dears, Feist, and The Besnard Lakes, among others.

She has participated in many different side projects and collaborations over the years: electroacoustic composition (60x60), music and sound design for theatre and short films, producing other artists, and tracks for special projects like OraMIX (Daphne Oram tribute) and BCM (Bedroom Cassette Masters), and a mixtape for Steven Hall's Mitamine Lab. She has also had the honour of being remixed by various artists from around the world, notably: Quivion, Soft Enerji, and Grimes Adhesif. Some of these projects can be found here on SoundCloud, with details on:  <a href="http://www.alexookpik.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">
