For the uninitiated, Paisley Babylon is the name/project moniker I’ve been working under since 1996 as both a DJ and recording artist. Over at the Paisley Babylon official site, there’s a post of an hour-long mashup/audio sculpture/experimental curated cutup called TV Party, Radio Riot.

I recorded and edited it back in 2001, released it in a limited form in 2002 and it’s been gathering dust ever since. It’s about time it saw the light of day and it’s now available as a free MP3 download for a limited time.

I’m putting things like this out now because I’m getting ready to start recording and producing more found sound/mashup and audio collage programs as part of a project I’m working on. Where it will go, nobody knows, but it’s exciting to be working in audio in this way–not 100% music, not 100% found sound, not all mashups or collage, but a melange of approaches, techniques and disciplines. Christian Marclay is definitely an inspiration here but I aim to take the project far beyond the turntable–thought vinyl does play a very large part in the project.
