Cross remixes by two emblematic figures of the contemporary electronic and experimental scene.
The Danish label Arbitrary presents Framework / Zwischen Remixes – a remix by German artist Jan Jelinek and one by musician & label founder Mads Emil Nielsen originally made for a digital compilation, now published on 7" vinyl.
For the CRXSSINGS release, Jan Jelinek remixed Nielsen's Framework 10, a track from the
Framework Book/CD based on sequences/recordings of sine waves and noise.
Side B: a rework by Mads Emil Nielsen of Jelinek's voice collage and electronic sounds, from
Zwischen – Marcel Duchamp, would you like or expect people to spin the wheel on your kinetic object Roue de Bicyclette?
Jan Jelinek is a German electronic musician who also operates under the names
Farben, Gramm, The Exposures and
Gesellschaft Zur Emanzipation Des Samples.
His work, which emerged in the early 2000s with pioneering albums such as
Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records and
Textstar (Farben), whose minimalist, glitchy, organic aesthetic and reduction of the rhythmic elements of club music strongly marked the era, has developed into experiments based on sound transformation, dealing with the transformation of sounds, translating source materials from popular music into abstract, reduced textures. Jelinek constructs collages using tiny sound fragments from a wide variety of recording devices: tape recorders, digital samplers, media players and the like. The recordings are processed into repetitive loops that boil the original down to its essentials.
He is the founder of the German record label
Faitiche.
