E23 : remixes Not exactly known as a prolific producer, E23 likes to lift audio whenever possible. The first selection, by 69 Valentine, was one of the earliest Ovni collaborations (between devslashnull & E23). The raw material was a (then, as now) untitled work by Denver underground bassist and electronic groove producer, 69 Valentine. Using an MC-303 GrooveBox, an Akai sampler, a Juno 6, a TR-505, and a scratchy old bloopers record, the duo turned what had once been a groovin' breaks cut into something a little more alien. devslashnull had been comissioned to create a sound score to a Brian Kane film for AddictiveTV in the UK. He lost the rights to it, and E23 reclaimed some of them with this slightly up-tempo, reworked version. When devslashnull & E23 slaved their laptops together for an epic 2-hour dance jam (again, for one of Brian Kane's performance projects), resulting in Commixion, it whet E23's appetite for a revision. Taking the sounds he'd generated for his soundbank during the jam, and inspired by recent conversations with Mayan calendrics pal John Major Jenkins, E23 conjured the Maya Cosmogenesis take. The first year or so of the Visualsoundings audio performance series at the Museum of Contemporary Art / Denver was capped off with a compilation, Soundings1, showcasing material by the artists who performed in the series. Part of the bonus audio offered included remix works by / of participating artists. The "Feeling Around in the Dark" rework of Recor's "Feelings", a distortion-drenched layering of guitar loops n'glitch, was E23's response to the call for digital dabbling.. download:: 69
