about

In circa 2013 this remix was released under the name iCub remix on soundcloud, for the original samples used were derived from a predictive parsing test for an iCub robot. It was like making our own apple loops and then choosing them, cutting them in half, being the 'drummer' robot in the logic studio. But it was threadbare and unsatisfying, and was taken down from soundcloud.

Smartphones were still a relatively new widespread must-have during the time of David Gadsdon's poem and the song's original version, that to us is the most compelling lyric about how the smartphone has changed people. A Nokia tune could be heard in that original version voiced on the saxophone by Gardyloo Spew.

Fastforward to the comeback of I am Meat in 2020, this remix went through some revitalising with the addition of the SX-150 synthesizer, giving it a great wobbliness, more saxophone from the original song, much needed equalising, and of course the piano stabs. These were inspired by a look back and forward at Radical Dance Faction, to fill out and crust up that funky flow.

This was finally mastered by Asier Leatxe Ibanez D'Opakoa on the amazing MCI JH500, boosted and taking away that digital harshness, something a smartphone cannot do. Don't let it 'remove the human touch from you'.
