releasing inri001 in the alter-reality

moving through the alter-reality, i've worked my way up to the release date of my second demo, now labelled as inri002. that's a good chunk of time - nine months - and represents my gestation phase as a musician, which is coming to it's end.

there will be a month long period after this where i cycle through the material, culminating in the release of a condensed mix tape of inri001 and inri002 (called inri003), which has been dated to july, 1997. there will be a two month delay before inri004 ushers in the beginning of my experimental synth pop and cyberpunk phase.

but this is a significant shifting point in the alter-reality. i'll admit i'm a little tired of people pointing to these early demos and trying to compare them to contemporary lo-fi music. it was lo-fi out of necessity, not by design. i set up my promo like this for a reason, part of which was to create that reaction, so i'm being an ass in reacting badly to it. but i'm nevertheless glad to be moving beyond it.

so, there's three months still until inr004. but this is where the cassette demos stopped, and i shifted focus.
