<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright wp-image-10803" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Deconstruction-Manual-Cover-Art-300x300.jpg" alt="Deconstruction Manual" width="225" height="225" />On <em>Deconstruction Manual</em>, three students of Perth’s <a title="Murdoch University" href="http://murdoch.edu.au/" target="_blank">Murdoch University</a> have taken the work of Hidden Shoal artists and subjected it to deconstruction, manipulation and glorious reinterpretation. The project is an ongoing collaboration between Hidden Shoal and the <a title="Murdoch University Sound Program" href="http://www.murdoch.edu.au/Courses/Sound/" target="_blank">Murdoch University Sound Program</a>, and the three remixes collected on this EP represent some of the diverse, innovative work produced by students of the course. Dr Simon Order, Chair of the Murdoch Sound Program, says of the project <em>"Remix is such a powerful activity which fires up the imagination. These fabulous tracks bear witness to the creative energy of Murdoch Sound students."</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a title="Skybreaker" href="http://www.skybreakergames.com/" target="_blank">Skybreaker</a>’s remix of <a title="Slow Dancing Society" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/slow-dancing-society/">Slow Dancing Society</a>’s ‘I’ll Leave A Light On’ throws the original into an industrial thresher, transforming its calming piano and nylon-string guitar into a juddering nightmare of synths and snarl. <a title="Karl Ockelford" href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sub-Ordnance/152815881454617" target="_blank">Karl Ockelford</a>’s ‘Greylands’ renders source audio from <a title="Antonymes" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/antonymes/">Antonymes</a>, <a title="Boxharp" href="http://boxharp.com/happening/" target="_blank">Boxharp</a>, <a title="Gilded" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/gilded/">Gilded</a> and <a title="Salli Lunn" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/salli-lunn/">Salli Lunn</a> into an expansive, glowering horizon of drones, strings and distortion. Finally, <a title="Lövmark" href="https://soundcloud.com/lovmark" target="_blank">Lövmark</a>’s reworking of <a title="Antonymes" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/antonymes/">Antonymes</a>’ ‘Doubt’ immerses Jan Van Den Broek’s monologue within patient, melodically rich minimal electronica.</p>
