Created using only Technics 1200s and an array of effects pedals, Still's REMAINS is not a "turntablist" record in the traditional sense. Drawing from (and adding to) the history of alternative turntable use, REMAINS is an ambient record whose textures at times run side by side with the work of PHILLIP JECK or APHEX TWIN. Two laborious years were put into the 35 minutes that comprise the album. Each track was painstakingly mapped out and played live in the studio. Opening with aggressive noise and evolving into delicate ambience, REMAINS supersedes the preconceived range of the turntable, infusing emotion into an otherwise inhuman instrument. Still (Hsi-Chang Lin) is best known as 1/3 of New Jerseys DALEK (Ipecac Recordings). His performances with DALEK are unforgettable. Still assaults his instrument: raking the needle across the record's grooves, putting the stylus into his mouth, and processing the sounds through a stack of effects pedals.
