With All Of Human Emotions On Microfiche (The Remixes) now available on all streaming services Steven shares the final four reinterpretations of his original tracks. Joining the Enya inspired pulses of Stef Animal, the analog dreams of Dream Chambers and maximalist howls of Proteins Of Magic, is the dungeon synth duo Gayblade (the collaborative project of Amamelia and Baby Zionov), Tāmaki's sewer dwelling trio Grecco Romank, ambient composer Sonya Waters and The Big Fresh Collective's Liam K Swiggs.
Steven admits that "as a whole I was excited and apprehensive about the idea of the remix project, I'm a big fan of all the artists but I was also both scared and embarrassed to give them my musical children to raise."
"The Gayblade remix of Utterance and Inscription is somehow at once beautiful and hilarious! It's great to hear how ideas and motifs of The Message are refracted back through the wonderful plurality of heavy industry and Grecco Romank's human voices. If Freedom Bells was to become a hit in another dimension, it's Sonya Water's version that would be playing on the jukebox on the other side of the portal. Liam K. Swiggs has taken my favourite bit of Acoma Phase II, the phasing loop, and cycled it round and round into a club-adjacent banger."
To celebrate the release of All Of Human Emotion On Microfiche (The Remixes), Sunreturn has collected collected Liam K. Swiggs, Sonya Waters, Stef Animal, Grecco Romank, Gayblade (the collaborative project of Amamelia and Baby Zionov), Dream Chambers and Karl himself to perform for one night only. This kind of local line up is a rare feat, and not to be missed.
