This album was initiated from an idea in my head to have other people hear the sounds that I sample and create their own interpretation of the source material. It's not really a remix album because there is no linear path that any of the sounds were presented in..it is more a reanimation of raw crystal sound waves into a new gem fortress. The artists were not asked to use the material exclusively, but merely to implement it into the creative process. Thank you to all the producers who participated out of their sheer creative drive in the first round. May the future bring bright things for us all.
The album is being offered free of charge but if you donate $8-$10 you will be guaranteed a physical copy of the release in cassette format. Feel free to donate less if you just wish to support the idea and enjoy the digital album. I will be hand making the tapes initially but if the interest becomes great and I receive enough donations a full on pressing will commence and you will receive a "professionally" dubbed and printed tape...which will mark the first official skylight gymnasium records release. We live in an extraordinary world filled with vast stimuli and beauty...I humbly thank you for your interest in this project and possible endeavors of the infinite beyond.
