The original album mix of ‘In the Palm of Your Hand’ maps out the dichotomy at the heart of <em>Binary Rooms</em>. While plaintive piano chords suggest openness and possibility, they’re perpetually hemmed in by a claustrophobic industrial throb, creating a tension that aches to be resolved. The first remix, by Hamburg duo <a title="incite/" href="http://www.incite.hamburg/" target="_blank">incite/</a>, ramps up the tension by slicing and dicing the ambient throb into a glitchy tapestry and smothering the piano in sonic gauze. <a title="Conga Fever" href="https://soundcloud.com/congafever" target="_blank">Conga Fever</a> dials back the ambience and juxtaposes the piano against a sun-dappled beatscape. Hidden Shoal labelmate <a title="Erik Nilsson" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/erik-nilsson/" target="_blank">Erik Nilsson</a> makes the piano the focus, bringing in field recordings to create the feeling of a beautiful jazz improvisation taking place on a demolition site. And finally, <a title="David Kochs" href="https://soundcloud.com/davidkochs" target="_blank">David Kochs</a>’ remix filters the haze of the original into sharp yet dreamy minimal techno.
