eD: Gigantic Update for Paul Dolden
Ten years after the publication of his milestone album, Canadian composer Paul Dolden offers us something more than just a re-issue but a gigantic reconstruction of his work. Indeed, the hundreds of tracks which makes each of the works featured on both Intoxicated by Speed’s two volumes were re-processed, re-mixed and re-mastered with the most recent digital technologies. No comparison is possible with the previous analog mixes! A third album stems from this impressive revamping task, Seuil de silences, featuring previously unreleased compositions and works from the 1990 album The Threshold of Deafening Silence.
Paul Dolden “Remastered”
UK magazine The Wire publishes an interview with Paul Dolden in its March 2003 issue (#229). The empreintes DIGITALes label is completing the production of 3 new discs by Dolden who just finished the impressive task of remastering all his works. A first CD, Seuil de silences, reissues 3 works from the original The Threshold of Deafening Silence (from 1990) with 2 unreleased mixed works. The original edition of L’ivresse de la vitesse (“Intoxication by Speed”) (from 1994) was also entirely revamped and will soon be available as 2 distinct albums.
