Re’Post’Postfabricated

CD1 Repostfabricated: Postfabricated released in 1999 as a CDr edition of 222 (Microwave/Staalplaat, NL) The original version of Postfabricated, my third full length CD, was recorded between 1998 and 1999 via analog connections to minidisc and afterwards mastered at a studio. The minidisc compression, combined with a studio engineer not accustomed to this type of recorded material compromised the details of the sounds, noting the difference upon listening to the source material files, I began to reconstruct the entire work digitally, utilizing the original components. Originally all the tracks where recorded in real time with no overdubs following a score for each piece arranged in advance. For this rerecording, having lost many of these notations, I diagrammed each arrangement and have replicated the pieces as closely as possible. This reconstruction, Repostfabricated, can be viewed as how Postfabricated was intended to sound and how I, while composing it, heard it in 1998. However due to my technical restrictions at the time, the particular quality of sound was not reproduced. CD2 PostPostfabricated: The artists on this CD were given sound source files to create new works. Inspiration for this project comes from a review by Roel Meelkop of Postfabricated in Vital Weekly suggesting that it would be perfect for sampling and remixing. Thus PostPostfabricated was born 5 years later. Thank you to my friends who have reworked my sounds for this project. Edition of 1000. Released in a 6-panel digifile with a matte finish.
