this is a rough outline in what i'm working through for the next little while, in cleaning up material left hanging from 2001. some of this is going to be left as is, some of it is going to be remixed and some of it is going to be (re-)recorded from scratch.

inri numbers are tentative throughout...

it's going to culminate in:

jjjjjjjjj

a) an lp of modern "chiptune" midi music, played back through vst synths. i'm not interested in the wanky, generic silliness that defines that genre. as "chiptune" this is going to be considered bloody weird. inri34.

b) uplifts of that lp to include live guitar parts. 'cause i'll never accept sampled or sequenced guitars. sorry. and also because i didn't score out a lot of the lead parts. these are the "final versions" of the pieces. inri35.

c) a series of eps that collect rough mixes, primitive card renders, midi files and other goodies for each of the tracks. inri24, 25, 27, 28, 32 & maybe 29/33.

d) j's adventures in guitarland. this is an aborted project that is already available at bandcamp as inri26.

rabit is wolf

a) a demo with 5 tracks, that include an outside vocalist. 2002. inri3x.

b) the wave, regular and sped-up (with vocals). aka symphony 3, in full. inri36.

c) multiple mixes of symphony 4. 2002. inri3x.

d) tracks eps with remixes and demos: inri29, 31, 33 and probable others.

============

moving into 2002, rabit stops in it's tracks around june and both tetris and trivial group begin. the symphony-centric period also begins, meaning single tracks become relatively rare.
