Steev Hise - ferrante, zeppelin & teicher
: a short introduction to Hise's Original, the opening track teases with easily spotted zepplin samples juxtaposed against the lounge orchestrations of piano duo ferrante & teicher. Hise executes a bit of role reversal as zepplin later reverberates into its own ambient soundscape before returning to the opening theme. representative of the overall Original aesthetic, recontextualization of cultural artifacts interplay with abstract sound processing.

Steev Hise - Stuck Together, Falling Apart : considered by many to be one of the highlights of Deconstructing Beck, Hise's aggressive collage freely appropriates several beck albums into the sonic blender. shuffling between carefully mixed bits and chaos, you're never quite sure where this might turn. highlights include beck's own voice conveniently singing appropriate phrases such as the track title and the entire assemblage being filtered down into a ringing tone. one writer comments that Hise "slips into a pounding, cacophonic groove 40 seconds into his audiolab project but returns to the cut-and-paste stereopathic soulmanure before he can get caught with his fingerprints on an illegal hit single" (Mark Anderson, The Valley Advocate).

Wobbly - bleached point 1-6 (original mix) : known around Illegal Art as a contributor to Extracted Celluloid and an active member of the san francisco/detritus community, Wobbly generously delivers an exclusive mp3 "remix" of Original. taking the art of borrowing to an extreme, he samples, loops and mutates Hise's album into his own erratic rhythms and textures. quick edits and digital locked grooves fight head to head for disorientation and even a comforting melody in the end. for best results put on repeat play.
