about

A remix is a song which has been modified from its original version by altering any of its elements. Although we associate the term most often with digital sampling and popular genres, composers were remixing their own works and others’ long before the advent of audio engineering.  Johann Sebastian Bach, for example, arranged hymn melodies by Martin Luther and concertos by Antonio Vivaldi as intricate pieces for solo organ. Mozart arranged Handel’s Messiah for a late eighteenth-century orchestra and Beethoven composed elaborate piano variations on themes by Händel and Mozart. 
Composers from the Baroque to B.B. King have borrowed existing bass lines passed down through the generations in passacaglias, chaconnes and the Twelve-bar blues.

Each composition on this album, although completely original, uses musical material and structures from the past as a point of departure.  Whether inspired by source melodies or framed by traditional forms, these pieces are, in essence, all remixes.  They represent seven years of research and compositional activity focused on developing a style which bridges contemporary music to the past.
