An album of experimental mashups culled from 'ImprovFriday' events, 'society For ShortY new music' collaborations, and Facebook sharing.
Remolding preexisting material has become one of my favorite musical habits of the past three years. Most of these works were created during ImprovFriday, a weekly online event where folks typically post brand new works or improvisations and can expect to have them mashed into new pieces by others within hours. The process of creating works on the fly is very challenging but also immensely fun. In my own case, not every mashup will succeed to the same degree but there are always some I end up loving as compositions (featuring my talented friends).
As with my duo collaboration album “duopoly” there are multiple approaches involved when making these. Some mashes are fairly hands-off, letting the component pieces speak for themselves, revealing accidental (and coerced) musical connections between often disparate sources. In other mashes I may edit and process the tracks almost beyond recognition. Sometimes I add my own instrumental contributions; and sometimes my mashups contain other mashups or online jam sessions.
This album is dedicated to my collaborators, whose audio contributions served as both the inspiration and raw materials for these tracks.
All tracks - Bruce Hamilton: editing, arranging, processing, mixing, mastering.
