it's done. i must eat. i'll probably sleep on it and upload it tomorrow.

this is my fourth symphony, and the last piece in what is now a three hour "double ep". the track has a long journey attached to it. the release is three hours and has a lot of overlap in order to present the path it took...

it's been through every rethink you can imagine. but it has to be done, now. there's nothing left to do, except maybe turn it into an opera.

(there's no chance i'm going to turn it into an opera)

fast forward three years, to when i turn it into an opera....

no, seriously. it exists in every form possible. it's DONE.

now, sure. i'm sort of apprehensive about putting a three hour release up that consists of a single song. but it's such a long journey, and goes over so much ground, that i'm sort of bewildered by it, myself. as crazy as it sounds, it's the proper way to present the thing.

like i say....i'll put it up tomorrow....and if you have three hours to spare, it's a fun journey.

i mean, i grew up listening to remix discs. something like the closer single by nine inch nails may seem self-indugent to some, but i loved the way it pulled the song apart every which way for an hour, and warped it all over the place.

what am i doing if not making something i'd want to listen to? it may be a niche thing, but i'd have been ecstatic to stumble upon something like this in late adolescence, and many years after as well.

a 25 minute track may not be the best track to pick to go about exploring in 11 different ways, but it's what happened, and it's what i have to share.
