Big Blue Room Mix

alva noto + ryuichi sakamoto “s” tour
Alva Noto’s blog about touring with Ryuichi Sakamoto. Looks to be a great experience. There are many YouTube examples. Here is the first one I looked at.

It reminded me of a project Andrew Gaskin did in 2007, when he remixed three tracks from One Guitar. You can find them in the ListeningLounge.

And as these things go, then I also received an email from Andrew yesterday…

Here is Andrew’s remix, called Out ot the Blue – Big Blue Room Mix

And here is the original track Out of the Blue:

This is a repeat from last year:

You can download the 320kbps mp3 file here.

Here is what I wrote last year:

Here is a Lava recording from 1995. The box of the old 2 inch multitrack tape says T-Rex #3 is the title. Musicians: the usual suspects… OL, Jon Gagan, Carl Coletti, Mark Clark and featuring Eric Schemerhorn, fresh from tour with Iggy Pop. Technical info: recorded in my Santa Fe studio on a Sony 24-track, 2 inch machine. Transferred to digital (24/48k) in 2003 and mixed this week.


Oh, and the sound (((identified as Solo Gtr on the track sheet))) that starts about a minute and a half into the song and develops into something that reminds me of the sound of a large propeller plane in the middle of the night, was made by a guitar, played through the wonderful Eventide H3000…

Havana Club (The Rosabel Re-Edit)

From the Havana Club Single.
The original recording of the song can be found on the album The Hours between Night + Day (1993). It was remixed by Steve Be Zet for the CD Euphoria (1995). SSRI released a new recording of the song on the album The Santa Fe Sessions (2003).

The Rosabel Re-Edit came about when somebody from the Epic Dance division kept hearing a white-label (unofficial or illegal depending on who is talking) 12″45 of Havana Club (The Latin Mix) from Euphoria in dance clubs. Rosabel created this longer version.

The Havana Club singles (CD and 12″45) are out-of-print.
