The No Music of Aiffs [CD]

The No Music Of Aiffs is the companion piece to the duos September 2002 release, The No Music, which was picked as a New York Times top ten record by Neil Strauss. The original has been remixed down to its smallest intestine and back toward the light until only the order of its tracks remains intact. The record features a new themselves song along with guest remixers Controller7 and Matth, Hrvatski, WHY?, Hood, Alias, A Grape Dope (John Herndon), Fog, Odd Nosdam, the Notwist and Electric Birds. The listening experience that follows is a personality-heavy splay of the thousand threads in every of sort of human music. Twelve diverse guest artists were selected in a real life lottery from an entire globes worth of eligible home recordists. Each original track is reborn-- re-contextualized and translated, through a new lens, unique to each of the guest artists sensibilities-- from HOODs noisy-fuzz madness, to the bright colors of A Grape Dopes (John Herndons) extremely tweaked source sounds, to the Notwists relentless melodic pop organism. Heard from a new perspective, the coloring, shading and textures added and/or removed by each guest forces a marriage of obscure pallets and eccentric tastes into an entirely new, several-second-long adventure. Elements that were previously nascent are now vibrant and pulsing and vice versa.
