‘A QUIET CORNER IN TIME (EXQUISITE CORPSE)’ – MAPS REMIX

Out today! 

I remixed the track ‘A Quiet Corner in Time’ by the ever magnificent Simon Fisher Turner and Edmund de Waal. 

This is part of the Exquisite Corpse series of remixes, where each remixer remixes the remix before them! 

So my remix is a remix of Martin Moscrop (of A Certain Ratio)’s remix of Stubbleman (Pascal Gabriel)’s remix of Polly Scattergood’s remix which was a remix of Yann Tiersen’s remix of Looper’s remix of MICROCORPS remix of Alessandro Cortini’s remix of Nik Colk Void’s remix! Phew!

It is available to download exclusively here. For free! https://simonfisherturner.bandcamp.com/ (A charity donation is optional)

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making!
