Rewind

by Matt Sommers

2002

More experiments combining samples with recorded sounds. Some hypnotic effects result. These are continued efforts to blur the line between composing songs and creating sound - with bits of pop sensibility percolating up through the noise.

I am more interested in the "feel" of a piece, and having the work tell me what it wants to be.

The opening track borrows from Video Killed the Radio Star and Super Mario Bros.

Lenoleum is one of my favorite songs I’ve written.

Most People and Click It were written with the most excellent Jason Hendrickson. A Violent Femmes cover (Please Do Not Go with Jason Hendrickson on keyboards), cut-ups from an 80's radio play (Mojo Sam), and the theme music for a Klipsch video series complete this odd collection of tracks. Bits of sound sculptures are sprinkled throughout.

The cover is blurred magnetic tape.
