In a followup to my last post about sharing and reusing material I would like to share a recent work by Kiggler. Taking my recent track for the Disquiet Junto as a starting point he changed the track and morphed it into something beyond a remix.

20 Jazz Funk Greats Reviews Body Movements

20 Jazz Funk Greats Reviews Body Movements

“Schemawound’s Body Movements remix album is the most powerfully minimalist commitment to sparsesound we’ve come across in some time (‘powerfully minimalist’ in that it’s minimalist, and powerful). There are no songs or other hand-holding things. Instead the sound sounds like it was grown. Not intended. Crepuscular creations fermenting, dividing, and slowly achieving sentience.” –20 Jazz Funk Greats
