All analog remix record

[patternismovement]

HEy guys,

I thought long and hard about where to place this post. I think it fits best in the Recording Techniques side of the Forum b/c ultimately this record is all about technique.
My band, Pattern is Movement, recorded our full length record last year (2005) @ Tiny Telephone. Scott Solter engineered the record. That record is called Stowaway.
However, earlier this year, Scott got the 2 inch tape back and he went to work re-mixing or better yet - re-interpreting each song off the record. What was born was a new record entitled Canonic. Now - I tell you all of that to give you a little backstory to Canonic.

Canonic is a unique album in that Scott used only analog ingredients in the record. Specifically -- Scott did not use any computers in the making of Canonic. His approach would be to grab sections of each song which he liked and then to re-think them. Once completely re-thunk -- he would drop them to his mix deck. Once to his mix deck -- he would begin the process of piecing them together w/ razor and tape. I, luckily, got to witness this for 5 days. It was amazing to watch someone re-create songs out of your own songs. To think that your music has potential that you yourself do not see is an amazing event to be a part of.

With all this said -- you can here the Stowaway songs as well as the Canonic remixes on our myspace page:

We got this at the radio station here at GW a few weeks ago, and I jumped at the chance to review it once I saw the description (Scott Solter rules).

I was not dissapointed, though I kinda wish I was in your spot, what with being able to watch him nuke all your songs

sounds like an awesome experience..

Very cool, it sounds interesting. Although, I'm glad not be doing razor edits on analog. I definitely don't miss that one bit!! I admire his bravery though.
