From The Folder Of Learning: Minimal Exercise 01
This is the minimal techno I Iearned to MIX on. The weave of sound and rhythm I fabricate comes from the trials, errors, patience, and creativity that started here. An accumilation of nearly a thousand Minimal Techno tracks from 2006-11.
Each time The Folder Of Learning is used all of the tracks are randomized (as is tradition). This randomization combined with the eclectic arrangements within the collection is my 'Minimal Exercise'. What happens is you load the next track in the list after the last. Then, you throw it in and you make it work. Do not use key or tempo locks (but you already knew that)! Enjoy the inharmonic melodies that only come with freestyle tempo and key mixing. That sound is yours, and you create from the elements around you. It's the equivalent of learning to swim by being thrown in the pool. Except for the pool having limitless dimensions, and you control the gravity in it's universe....
<This first mix (ME01) includes quite a few tracks from my first ever recorded set / radio broadcast. It's comforting to know I still have them! That particular recording had a couple minor hiccups in it, but is still, my favorite mix I created to date. >
I might have to dig it up and post it here...
