Well first the confession… I was listening to this like a parent who’s gone to see her child in the school performance…Where’s my mix… hey there it is! Doesn’t it sound neat? He he, I’m mostly joking, and very very honored to have two of my pieces picked up although Gurdonark’s piece is the backbone of one of my mixes and DJ Rkod’s is the backbone of the other.

Anyway, your notes hint at the fact that this is a bit of wild ride but it certainly maintains interest and actually I think the samples are well woven together. They do have places both horizontally (eg in time) and vertically (eg in sonic space) so they don’t obscure each other. With music as with gardening I like to see the elements and not have them hidden in wild herbaceous borders where they get lost, so I appreciate this quality very much.

I imagine you’ll get a lot of comments with all these people you sampled. Nice marketing ;-)! Nice job, Shimoda.

Thank you very much for remixing me in this one. I like it a lot—
it reminds me of the amazing work of the artist Clutter from http://www.earthmp.com
His “shopping in a shipyard town” album was one of my favorite mp3 plays for some time. Like Clutter’s work, you manage to make a mash-up of seemingly very disparate media work. I’m not sure if all the sample attribution is there—I hear my “longing for home” and also that vocal track “into the sun” that earlier Old Dog turned into a great ‘pella chorus. I’m impressed with what you’ve done—and of course flattered that you’d add me into the title. This kind of thing is a part of remix culture that goes beyond the dance-oriented, and yet the seeds of this kind of mash-up had a dancefloor component. It’s fun to see what cuurious places the sounds can go. Thanks.

What a fun journey- I couldn’t help but enjoy this, and being included “samplistically” makes it a special treat.

very nice to your continued expanded experiments into sound-collage and soundscapes yield such dramatic results….enjoyed the journey.

Your developing these type of ideas really well and they do come across as more than just a thrown together bag of samples.

Personally I would have liked to see you combine these type of sounds with some more musical passages to emphasize the work.

Still very interesting stuff!

The samples in this are all fantastic in their own right (I’ve used quite a few of them myself!) - but you combine them into a whole that really works - it has a a feeling of a ‘journey’, a direction where it’s all heading…

Thanks for this rmx !
I’m proud to be in your samples.
Do you understand french lyrics ?

Ooohhh! Another terrific soundcollage from you. At least you are one of the “crazy” contemporary famous music componists and use this community before performing it on the international stages? ;-)
There is so much in this remix that it is hard to describe and to review.
And yes, I like it!

It´s difficult to make interesting music on chords and more difficult without harmonic line.
Congratulations, you are on right.
This mix is fresh air for the site.

I can only agree with all before me on how good you are at making these collage of sounds. Interesting work.
I do like audial indigestion :)

I love this kind of thing (sound collage, mashup, noise jazz, …), and this is fantastic. Very inspiring. The end also closes nicely, harmonically – really nice blend of chaos and intention, Kudos!
