One of the most fun and rewarding aspects of The Harmony Codex has been the opportunity to have the music remixed by so many other artists and musicians I admire. The material seemed to lend itself so well to reinterpretation.
Harmonic Divergence, a special vinyl-only release for Record Store Day, features a range of different approaches, best illustrated by the two 9-10 minute remixes which bookend the album – one a euphoric and propulsive reworking of Time Is Running Out by Ewan Pearson, the other a claustrophobic treatment of the title track by Mogwai that adds layers of sheet noise to the original.
Harmonic Divergence will be released on April 20th. Head to recordstoredday.co.uk to find your local record shop and how to take part in this year’s celebrations!
