SECOND INVERSION: ALBUM REVIEW: Partita for 8 Voices Remixes
SECOND INVERSION: ALBUM REVIEW: Partita for 8 Voices Remixes
by Maggie Molloy
“Partita is a simple piece,” Shaw said of the work. “Born of a love of surface and structure, of the human voice, of dancing and tired ligaments, of music, and of our basic desire to draw a line from one point to another.”
That line stretches clear in 2017 with Partita’s most recent reincarnation: an EP of remixes created by six different New York-based electronic musicians and sound designers. Originally created for New Amsterdam Records’ 2013 fundraiser, the Partita Remixes were only just recently released to the public alongside the first ever vinyl-edition of the original work.
