Build It Up, Break It Down—Remix is now available to hear and download from Bandcamp.

Alka, Dev79, City Rain, Knife Jams, Stumble, Sub-Arkt, Clocklife and At Work have remixed At Work’s Build It Up, Break It Down.

The effort sets an electronic soundtrack for wanderings through the squandered and pillaged wastes of short-sighted development and environmental interruption to the high hopes of sustainable human occupation and transportation amongst the landscape. Perhaps best framed in Metro Commercial’s synthesized vocal reflection, “Why are we making a world like this?”

These 32 tracks (two+ hours) are best suited for highway use, long journeys through suburban traffic, deserted construction sites and abandoned strip malls.

Included is a 46 page high-resolution digital booklet (PDF), with titles, liner notes, individual track artwork. Photos by local NJ artist T. Charles and design by Nice Looking Designs.

Mastered by Paul “Starkey” Geissinger.

“Seanicus_combo10-11” by Seanicus.

Peacefully resonates with the overcast January sky.

I was lucky enough to perform at one of Seclusiasis’ 2006 Laptop Battles with Seanicus in Philadelphia. He put on a fun set and I like his style. The raw sounds and emotionally intelligent melodies remind me of what I like about earlier Bogdan Raczynski works.

Knife Jams is mixing and editing live right now on 91.3 WXAC FM and http://wxac.squarespace.com/. Listen on the top right of the link.
