Each felt very expressive and personal. After a couple of remix drafts that ended up in the bit bucket, I built one around a starkly edited version of Cold Caller (Rob, I hope that you approve!), with both his and my instrumental tracks supporting (in particular, his shakuhachi tracks are gems). It\u2019s relatively short and succinct, and I like the open ended quality of the final mix. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ccmixter&#8217;s editor Susan <a href=\"http:\/\/ccmixter.org\/files\/vo1k1\/37811\">says<\/a> &#8220;This track would be perfect for late night listening, in the dark, alone, perhaps drunk or maybe not. Vo1k1\u2019s richly textured remix of Robwalkerpoet succeeds in creating an atmosphere of beauty and tension that reflects and heightens the drama of the poet\u2019s words and delivery.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rob <a href=\"http:\/\/ccmixter.org\/reviews\/vo1k1\/37811\">says<\/a> &#8220;I like this a lot, Volk1. It\u2019s richly-textured and multi-layered and presents my monologue in an intimate and original way. I\u2019m enjoying hearing my own shakuhachi and slowed-ukulele samples from other works coming back into my ears in unexpected ways. All resting on the firm yet comfortable bed of texasradiofish and Sweet Noise. And your editing of the spoken word gives the poem a fresh perspective \u2013 particularly with the use of repetition and the fact that the Cold Caller isn\u2019t even identified in this version.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s great to be remixed by someone who really knows what they\u2019re doing \u2013 no surprises that it\u2019s nominated as an editor\u2019s pick!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<br \/>\nrob&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The original <a href=\"http:\/\/ccmixter.org\/files\/robwalkerpoet\/37561\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The call no one wants&#8230; A great remix of my poetic monologue &#8220;cold caller&#8221; by Vo1k1, part of the recent ccmixter &#8220;Flying Time&#8221; secret mixter challenge.
