regarding the three tracks shuffled out of tetris...

tetris wasn't ever really a real record, it was a collection of a bunch of half-finished ideas centered around the concept of being "techno guitar" music. they can't all end up together; they're located too far away in time from each other and there wouldn't even be enough space on a single disc for me to finish them all properly. these ideas will end up on records, but not all on the same record.

if i'm left with a collection of finished techy guitar tracks to release as a disc, i will name that disc tetris. otherwise, i will likely produce a new compilation that is strictly indebted to the actual idea and that will pay no attention to the chronology.

i also had the idea around the same time of taking my favourite club music and orchestrating it with guitar solos. i don't mean writing new songs, i mean taking pieces by idm artists and going to town with them. i've spent large amounts of my time jamming over techno records, so i'd like to capture it somehow.

it's a tricky thing to do right, as there's a careful line between using the beats as inspiration for guitar music and just sounding like "guitar karaoke". i will be careful to find the line when i get there. it may turn out that this concept is actually what becomes of the tetris record.

you can be certain that there will be tetris release, and it will be techy guitar music. it's just not clear what material will be on it, yet.
