The Story of The Richter Scale Remixes
The Richter Scale Remixes (4 track EP – To be Released by Heresy Records out now) are collaborations between Composer, Boris Bergmann, Pianist, Ji Liu and Techno Musician/Producer, Khan of Finland. The Remixes are techno electronic reorchestrations of movements from Bergmann’s piano composition, The Richter Scale.
During the pandemic lockdown it was not possible to record The Richter Scale in a studio nor on the Spirio/r player piano. Therefore Khan, Boris and Ji worked together remotely to create the Pre & Remixes. Ji recorded some of the two-handed movements - and the four-handed movements – from The Richter Scale in his home in London and sent them to Khan who created remixes of these movements. Since these “remixes” were created prior to the official recording of The Richter Scale (which is the source material), they were titled Premixes – in other words – they are remixes that were created before the tracks they were remixed from were officially recorded.
While retaining the elemental essence of the piano composition, The Richter Scale, the Premixes add an entirely new sonic dimension to the original piano movements fusing them elements of elegiac ambience, plangent and driving percussion and a plethora of other electronic sounds, moods and emotions.
