when i figure this out, i'm going to want to finish building a guitar mix that i started in 2007. this may end up with new sound. then it's done and i can move to the techno track, which is also going to primarily be a remix. there's going to be a few unreleased tracks attached to that. the last song to complete for this period is this thing i called ostrich, which was a first draft of sarah's 2002 xmas present. i ended up discarding it in favour of flying. there's going to be some new sound for this, but not much. the ep of material for the first half of 2003 is already finalized, so that will be a quick up. i'm going to have to reinterpret some stuff from mid 03, but it likely won't require new sound. in fact, i'm not looking at new sound after ostrich until probably early 2005. i always wanted to release symphonies 5&6 as the first part of a double, and no doubt will, but they'll probably also be available separately as record #8. so, i could very well be to xenophanes and symphony 7 by christmas. my period with sarah saw a dramatic decrease in output, but at least i mostly finished what i did. it's after sarah that things get scattered again. oddly. i think maybe i ended up with less time, but more of a need for an outlet and consequently more focus.
