so, the main aim of what i've been doing since february is completing
what works out to be my fifth full length record, out of material that
was written over the course of 2001 but never completed to my liking due
to deficits in the technology that was available to me at the time. i
had suspected from the beginning that this would probably be a double
and have come to the conclusion this morning that it absolutely must be.
that
means i've expanded the scope a little to make the project more
encompassing. 85 minute doubles piss me off. if you're going to do a
double, fill up both discs! not with filler!
i kind of
wanted to do this anyways. the guitar project is now officially aborted,
and it really leaves the two remaining tracks as conceptually and
musically similar to the other ones. there's also the 9-minute vocal
epic, stress, which, while a little different, fits the overall theme of
the larger works. it would be incomplete of me to compile this material
without including it.
the first half of this is now
completed. this is final, in relation to the first disc. the cut-off
point is july, 2001 which is only coincidentally the halfway point;
what's more important is that it splits the year in half over the summer
(with school on either end) and separates a very solo period from a
more collaborative one.
