about

We've always wanted to do a remix album and we liked the idea of offering the multi-track tapes of our back catalogue to various respected musicians and engineers to rework however they chose to. There was no brief – no requirements, no guidelines, no limitations. Some have done alternate mixes, some have used a few parts and sounds to build new musical pieces, some made atmospheric soundscapes. Since we had no budget for this project, our esteemed musical colleagues got involved because they wanted to and out of respect for the music – an attitude that harks back to the very foundations of NDW. What you have here are reinterpretations and reworkings by friends, acquaintances and fellow musicians we've had the pleasure to get to know over the years. There are even some remixes by students of the electronic music course that John teaches at RMIT. We're grateful to all those who participated in this exercise, and apologise to those whose contributions we couldn't fit onto the final CD compilation. We're proud of this record – a strange sonic collision between various gifted musical artists and the NDW oeuvre, a body of work that goes back over 20 years. This collection of remixes is as much our endorsement of the artists who reworked our music as it is their salute to not drowning, waving, and it seems a fitting way to close the book.

about

Not Drowning, Waving Melbourne, Australia

NDW's music was haunting, evocative, brooding, sensuous and a million other words that excite people who type for a living. In record stores, you could usually find NDW filed under ambient or art-rock, ill-fitting labels if ever there were. Though they were often minimalist, they never made background music. Arty by comparison to other acts of the era, but they knocked out some glorious pop tunes. ... more
