From Chris' notebook:
The LONDON MIX tracks form a series of sketches, the heart of which I composed on laptop while I was there for four weeks
The first track airplane was written on a flight from San Francisco back to Seattle. On that flight I happened to meet DJ Mea and talk with her about working with Reason (the software tool that I use to compose my electronic music), shed seen me with my headphones.
I gave her one of the original 100 Invasion Warning CDs, but realized that she probably wouldnt be able to spin any of them when she gamely suggested shed listen through and see if she could work it into her set that night. I had coded in all of the drum beats I came across during my fiendish exploration of my new studios powers, but used them as they appeared which made for some really unusual stuff. Experimental, thats what the OM called it
Just too symphonic and not created to get them up and crazy and bouncing around. I wish Id had this album on hand that night too! I decided that I would make a point to create some music that could get played in clubs, and resolved to visit some of the top clubs there for research
On my flight to London I created warbledisco which I continued to revise during my time in the UK
I sheltered in a gracious flat in Fulham on Munster Road, and would spend my evenings eating Indian take-out and working on seven sketches over four weeks:
o basichouse
o downtime
o loudphilistines
o goodnight
o junglerumble
o warbledisco
o trip
basichouse was really my first foray into pre-recorded percussion loops, which turned out to be a fun tool to work with. Im not really trained as a percussionist, and so here I get some percussionists whove recorded the loops that basically just work in my opinion. That marked a change in my style, and since then Ive played a lot with mixed genres of beats
Other evenings Id be out with my coworkers, or checking out the Ministry of Sound or Fabric
When I returned from London I (as usual) chose to continue creating new sketches instead of going back to develop those Id done in London; that next sketch (tickticktock) serves as the summary from home of what had been an cool adventure in the UK, thanks mates
The LONDON MIX Original Version MP3s are posted on my site for free download. Those MP3s are captures of each track, the original state they were left in after I had returned from London before I decided to go back to them and assemble an album from them
