so, i'm currently transitioning into inri003 in the alter-reality.
this is a "mix tape" composed of snippets from the first two demos. it didn't actually seriously exist until late 2013, but it's being dropped into the alter-reality for the summer of 1997. this is the only way to get the early material on a physical media; the first two demos are not, and never will be, for sale. mp3 only.
(to clarify: i was between 15 and 16 in these demos. a young 16, for the last of it. so, it's easy to understand why they're not for sale.)
but, this "mix tape" compilation of snippets *is* actually for sale because i can present it as worth listening to. it's what i'm presenting as my actual debut release, and unofficial 0th record. now, it's a quirky listen, to be sure - a lot of instrumental passages and weird guitar solos spliced together, often with little context. i'm a bit of a zappa fan; he did a number of records like this that were composed of just bits of sound, cut out from elsewhere. mike keneally followed up on this through the 90s. that's the thought process i had in compiling it then. but some listeners may be more familiar with this approach through flying lotus, or some of his influences. it ultimately goes back to varese, but it would be absurd for me to compare this to varese...
but, this is the path out of period 1.1. inri004 will go up in about two months, and usher in the synth pop phase. there won't be any further alter-reality updates until then.
