The crash has happened, then, the music industry has gone down with the Dow, and there'south 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 however a good year to look to though, these two mixes are linked by a common thread; Russian documentary motion picture-maker Dziga Vertov. As the cut-up sound collages he made in 1925 influenced the jagged sound of that twelvemonth's mix, and 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 audio film has given me a lot more than in terms of sound samples to cut up and push button together. By "a lot more" I hateful that the diverse qualities and sheer volume of source cloth which has gone into this mix made it experience similar a huge project on its own. I feel like I've just lived through 1930. Information technology was a fascinating time, this might well exist the best mix I've made, merely I likewise feel exhausted and emotionally tuckered by the feel. I am confident that this feeling doesn't come through in the mix, by the way.

Commonly here I would write a longer blurb, but this fourth dimension, well, sorry, that's information technology, but hither'southward the music, go heed to it.
