Richie Hawtin: "The Tunnel"

Richie Hawtin's latest project is DE9: Transitions. Realized in 5.1 surround sound and using the latest recording technology to create an immersive sonic experience, DE9: Transitions encompasses 95 minutes of altered perception. It combines everything from original Hawtin productions to unreleased tracks straight from the studios of cutting-edge producers like Ricardo Villalobos, and adds flashes of classic techno moments which inspired him when he was a young clubber. But most of the tracks are fundamentally transformed from their original states. Some fade in and out over a period of minutes, while others are reduced to one single sampled note. The on-screen read-out on the DVD version of DE9: Transitions illustrates the smoothly shape-shifting outline of a remarkable complex project. In fact, the tracks are so close to becoming entirely new compositions that Hawtin has made the decision to give them his own names. "It's taking a chance, doing a mix CD and giving the tracks my own titles representing what these pieces have become," Hawtin admits. "But I believe it's gone far enough that I can do that. Some people might get pissed about it; we'll see. The CD artwork plays with that; it's a picture of my face which is totally made up of these track names, so it shows you that although this is made by me, I'm no greater or lesser than the information I'm using."
