Sam Rosenthal, the electronic composer behind the darkwave project Black Tape For a Blue Girl and the founder of Projekt Records, is celebrating the 40th anniversary of his minimal synth album Islands. He’s running a Kickstarter campaign to remix the album, which was initially recorded at his parents’ house. Collaborating with guest artists, this release offers a glimpse into Rosenthal’s evolving sound. Having previously conducted multiple crowdfunding projects, he is now offering various formats, including vinyl and cassette. As of now, the campaign is 59% towards its $6,000 goal.
Here’s a thought-provoking question: How do you think the evolution of music production technology has impacted the way artists like Rosenthal approach revisiting and remixing their earlier works?
