This project started out during the first lockdown as means of communication and a basis for further recordings (when physical meetings were not possible). Initial inspiration came from the 1980s recycling projects such as “Captured Music” and “Destruct”, both released on the Selektion label who described recycling as “a procedure concentrating on materials already existing on their own or as separate sources as a practical base for further reworkings”. As the project was progressing news was sent across the world of the death of George Floyd whilst in police custody. Sadly, not a new phenomenon, but a repeat of past events highlighting the unfinished business of needing to change the future. I decided to incorporate the events into the initial theme using words and specific references to carry on a dialogue that interacts with the re-interpretations of previous sound sources.

about

Oxidation Illinois

Oxidation is the process that destroys the CDr format over time. Unfortunately, we have started to lose several great releases because of this deterioration.

This label was started to preserve some of my favorite releases from the 90's and beyond. All releases are posted with complete permission from the artists.

Please enjoy. ... more
