Four New Mixcloud Mixes from Conny Plankton

Conny Plankton steps out temporarily from the regular Bandcamp site and all of the albums being released there - diving in back into Mixcloud to upload four long mixes, based on some quite diferent themes.

Here we go!

Chemical Shock

A Mix based loosely around voice actors from a popular video game - there is a clue in the title. The voice samples were edited down and rearranged with loops of 1930s and 1940s music as multi-tracked arrangement to produce something deeply and darkly disturbing.


The Real World

This mix was made from a series of home produced field recordings, made at various times and places around the North of England. Everything was edited down, minimal effects added, and then reassembled to produced a mix far away from the contexts of the original recordings and to create something altogether new and unsettling.





Revisited

A Mix made from earlier recordings by Conny Plankton - but rather than just segue one track after another, stems and samples were cut from the original recordings and then reassembled into a multi-tracked monster to make something weird and wonderful.




Reincarnation

The second in a series of mixes based around using samples and outtakes of earlier Conny Plankton recordings: stripped down, deconstructed and then arranged into and reincarnated into one single mix.
