Herr Mahler Died Last Night At One Hundred And Fifty<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Ben.Harper<\/a> <\/p>\n

So the other night I saw Jeff Harrington had posted this rather wonderful remix<\/a> of bits of Mahler’s First Symphony. It was for a “Remix Mahler” contest put on by the Berlin Philharmonic<\/a>. Unfortunately, these days the term ‘remix’ is approximately synonymous with ‘novelty dubstep’ so of course most of the entries are uniformly dull. <\/p>\n

I wanted to bring out some of the qualities of the material in the original work, so I took one passage redolent of Morton Feldman’s Madame Press Died Last Week at Ninety<\/a><\/em>, and let it emerge quietly out of an empty stretch of Hardware Lane<\/a> in Melbourne, late one night in Winter, 1999.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
