Hear Thom Yorke’s Remix of Clark’s ‘Isolation Theme’
Radiohead’s Thom Yorke has shared a remix of Clark’s “Isolation Theme,” a selection from the electronic producer’s score for the 2019 film Daniel Isn’t Real. In 2019, Clark remixed Yorke’s “Not the News,” a track from the singer’s Anima.
Yorke, who has previously put his remix skills to work for artists like Liars, MF Doom and Major Lazer, said in a statement: “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’, 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.”
