got your mail...

things are ok here. glad to hear things are better with leo.
my fancy, high end headphones broke but they're easy to fix (the cord is replaceable), so i should be able to send a check out on the first of december for them.
i kind of forgot about the mail. i've updated the address at the banks and odsp, so there shouldn't be any more bank stuff coming. the student loan people are going to want me to send them a form and update the address. i should update my address at carleton, too, as well as with cra. thanks.
i'm going to go with an internet phone that will be very cheap, but the number is just for local calls. really, i just need the phone so that i can get documents to cross the border with. otherwise, i wouldn't bother.
i've been working on uploading a lot of music i wrote in the 90s, and getting back to a website i've been working on. the goal is to get that done before the new year, then finish the projects i've left half done. i'm going to start looking for something part-time in the spring, as i'm going to be running up against an odsp review in the fall that i'm not certain will be renewed.
everything i've been doing is accessible from here:
http://dghjdfsghkrdghdgja.appspot.com/
i'm spending all my time alone, but i think i've needed the space, and i think i'm going to need a bit more.
i'll try to get that stuff cleared up on monday.

publishing eat my fuck (inri016)
this is something i did between inri demos. i needed a break from structured writing. just wanted to make some noise...
i suppose this is the biggest sample collage of them all, but it's best not to take it too seriously. the idea here eventually morphed into a project called "fuel true anarchy in the americas" (jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/ftaa), a play on the ftaa trade agreement, which itself got toned down in scope.
there's everything from science docs to hitler in here. it's meant to be a passive trip through real and imaginary time that is experienced with the aid of psychedelic drugs, rather than any kind of political statement. it's quite consciously absurd, often juxtaposing ironic statements with their contradictions.
the core of the ambience was produced by a program called sound raider. i then took the sound it created and shaped it by adding in vocal samples, looping certain parts, running things through effects, sequencing the noise into a more melodic shape, etc. it's consequently a sort of a collaboration between myself and the machine, rather than the work of the machine itself.
no sane person could really listen to this passively. you basically *need* drugs to get anything out of this at all.
...and i think i'm probably the only person that ever experienced it properly. hey, it's never too late...
created in the summer of 1998. released as a standalone ep on nov 16, 2013. as always, please use headphones.
this track also appears on my third record:

ignorance is bliss (cynicide mix)
this was never meant to be recorded like this, only played live, usually drunk, but a friend of mine talked me into recording it for inclusion in a radio rock project we were hatching up. well, he was hatching up. i didn't really have much of an artistic investment in it, i just agreed to play bass, because my friend needed a bassist more than any other reason. he wanted this to be a "hidden song". i obliged.
however, he was a little taken aback by the result. he wanted it to be twangy and country, which indicated a misunderstanding of the content. it's comical on a surreal level, but it's not a cheap comedy skit. his ideas would have devalued it and that sort of pissed me off; my refusal to redo it pissed him off. this was part of the reason that the project never went anywhere, except to spark rabit iz wolf:

hexonxonx (remix/cover for inrimake)
i put together a skinny puppy tribute disc over the summer of 1998 called 'the souls that create'. this was my contribution to that disc. the original version is found on skinny puppy's 1989 record 'rabies', which is better known as 'the one that al jourgenson fuckered up'.
it's based on a combination of reconstruction and sampling, with the vocals performed by a text-to-speech program.
for those curious, the walk/ogre version of dig it with the text-to-speech vocals was released a few weeks after this, and it's hard to think i had nothing to do with that.

slipping away (remix/cover for inrimake)
this is a reconstruction of a stabbing westward song that was meant for inclusion on a fan-made compilation that i'm not sure ever came together or not. it received positive feedback on the mailing list. it's not very similar to the original; really, this is so dramatically different from the original that it's reasonable to say something like that it's "inspired by" the original rather than a remix or a cover. it does contain creatively reinterpreted samples of the original.
