Tomorrow I will be present again with Deserted Island Music at the annual E-Day Festival in Theater De Enck Oirschot.
In first instance to sell my physical albums (I also have available some discounted products; just drop by if you are at the festival too), but also to promote my new digital download release "Archives 1", which will be released on this same day.
Here are details about the "Archives 1" release:
Since the early 90s, Remy registered an uncountable amount of compositions, improvisations, try-outs, sketches, studies and performances.
Remy always felt the need to release a lot of this material, but with such a huge variety of recordings, it was never possible to release everthing.
During the selection process for the released REMY-albums, a lot of music was rejected. Simply because these tracks didn't fit into the concept or feeling of the specific release.
A large amount of unfinished tracks, sketches, etc. will definitely never be released. And there also is enough stuff that is absolutely not good enough by means of technique and recording.
But through “Archives” there is this possibility to publish and share a lot of these recordings. Recordings that otherwise would never have seen the light.
Besides the fact that “Archives” offers music that could never be heard before, it gives the perfect insight into Remy's musical and artistic world, as well as it might also help to understand the direction Remy's music evolved into.
“Archives 1” contains material from 2004 until 2006.
Tracklist:
1. To The Sea (studio, 20-12-2005) 9'11
2. Sleep Music (improvisation, 1-7-2006) 15'00
3. Silent Hill (improvisation, 20-1-2004) 20'09
4. Turn Of The Tides (concert, 8-4-2006) 25'11
Here you can hear excerpts from each song:

"Archives 1" consists of mastered archives recordings and will be available as 320 kbps MP3 and 16 bit / 44,1 kHz FLAC. The accompanied artwork contains the necessary background information on each of the tracks, as well as some photos from the period of the specific music pieces.
The digital download only release "Archives 1" coincides with the launch of the renewed Deserted Island Music website/webshop: www.desertedislandmusic.nl.
Although there still have to be made some more adjustments, feel free to already let me know your opinion and experience with the site. Indeed as soon as it is online.
