How do you make a record without instruments ? Ask David M Allen because that's precisely what he did... When whatever studio bunnies were safely tucked up in bed, Dave would sometimes unwind after a hard day's production by messing around with his beloved Lexicon 480L reverb rack. 'In The Past' - named after the machine's 9th patch found in bank 5 & the main reverb preset used all over 'Disintegration' (think 'Plainsong', 'Same Deep Water...', 'Prayers For Rain' etc.) - was made by feeding back the Lexicon's digital signal with Dave pitching & prodding it gently into lush & foreboding soundscapes. The 16 minute track fits neatly in somewhere between Pierre Henry's 'musique concrete', the experimental ambient of Eno & the far reaches of Autechre, Seefeel or Aphex Twin.
But enough about Mr Allen, this is more about you ! Have you ever fancied 'producing / remixing the Producer' ? Well, now's your chance !
Download the track (link below) and get busy ! Use it to make German minimal techno if that's your thing or add a symphony of processed guitar FX. Or maybe just fly in your Granny on vocals after adding some tin whistle in the bathroom (for natural reverb) - anything is possible, just take it to where it tickles you the most !
Closing date for entries is April 30th when David will decide on his 3 favourite remixes. The winners will be offered a master use & publishing contract for a remix EP (see details below).
