MH-076 pOnk - Remaking The Past  Remaking The Past is the Mush debut for Berlin based musician Frederik Knop, better known as pOnk. His band, the post-rock trio mOck, worked with John McEntire (Tortoise, Sea and Cake) to mix and perfect the sound of their 2012 self-titled debut released on I Love To Hate Records. It soon became clear that the wealth of pristinely recorded individual tracks were the perfect source material for a pOnk project. The sounds were taken apart and then twisted and recombined in unconventional and imaginative ways to create the aptly titled EP, Remaking The Past. The result is not a remix, but a true original work that does not keep to any structure or grouping of sounds defined by the mOck album. Instead the music over twelve continuous minutes slowly morphs as it ebbs and flows much like a time-lapsed view from a car window on a long-trip. With a multitude of ideas and projects in the works, Remaking The Past is a perfect introduction to an artist who is equal parts electronic musician, composer and sound-designer. |

pOnk is Berlin based musician and producer Frederik Knop, who also plays in the post-rock band mOck. While mOck was mixing their album with John McEntire (Tortoise, Sea and Cake), the individual recorded tracks from that session became the source for this pOnk project. Remaking The Past is not a remix of mOck’s album, but more of taking the sounds from that session and creating something wholly new and original. The two-parts and 12 minutes of music on Remaking The Past are nearly unrecognizable to what was played on the mOck album. It’s quite interesting to see two completely different outcomes from the same session. The best way to look at this EP is to treat it as a companion to the mOck album, a little extra hot fudge to mOck’s ice cream sundae if you will. - Manual Dexterity |
