about

Since starting CH as a project in 2006, I've been asked to produce dozens and dozens of remixes. One of the very first was a remix for longtime friend and influence Dissolved, for his Macrocyclic Blues album (dissolved.bandcamp.com/album/macrocyclic-blues ). In the years since then, Coppice Halifax has mutated again and again, shifting through phase after phase of weird and not-so-weird techno, never quite repeating itself but never totally abandoning what came before either.

The strains of that first remix for Dissolved ran deep in the project's veins, and it felt familiar all over again when he asked me to produce some remix work for his Hallucino Attics album (section27.bandcamp.com/album/hallucino-attics-dissolved-re-constructed-2001-2006 ). Unexpectedly, I found so much flex in the material I was working on, that I handed in three remixes, and knew that more were easily possible.

After the release was issued, and had some time to breathe, I approached Dissolved about doing some additional cuts, approaching them this time like the completion of an album proper. That album became what you see here, Etchings In Rust. Appropriately, it begins with a newly remastered version of the very first Dissolved remix (originally Slektramine), and proceeds seamlessly through six more remixes created during 2017 and 2018. These seven tracks recall many classic CH sounds, as well as influences such as early Autechre, mid-nineties industrial music and psychedelic drum and bass, some of which do not tend to manifest very often in the CH palette/palate. They are warm and crunchy, heavy in parts and spacious in others. Melodically they are equal parts Halifaxian and Dissolved, fused at the molecular level and transmuted into a rainbow of tones and tails.

With Etchings In Rust complete, the next step is a proper collaboration between Dissolved and CH. If these recordings are any indicator, I'm excited by the prospect of such a blend and hope to explore it soon.
