#Thom Yorke Remixes Clark’s “Isolation Theme”: Listen

Thom Yorke has shared a new remix of Clark, taking on “Isolation Theme” from the electronic producer’s score for Daniel Isn’t Real. Listen below. The remix precedes the expanded release of Clark’s score for the 2019 psychological thriller, which also includes two bonus tracks. That’s out December 6, via Deutsche Grammophon. 

In a press release, Yorke said, “I took Clark’s score of ‘Isolation Theme’ and simply made it feel like the moment we were entering; being told to stay indoors, entering a new type of silence. I guess I simplified it in a way, into waveforms that were being disrupted. I was surprised how frightening it became.” 

Clark added, “I started working on Daniel Isn’t Real around the time I was asked to remix Thom’s track ‘Not The News’ [revisit that here], so it has a neat circularity closing the expanded edition of the score with him remixing me. I was surprised how well the midi translated to his remix. He got such a good pure electronic tone out of it. It amazes me how simple note information, if it has a nice shape, can transmit to multiple voicings. This isn’t good news for genres. It’s good news for me though.”
