just an update...

i was going to do a "dark mix" and a "jazz mix". but these components were present, and i didn't see where else to take them. so, i jumped to the final mix.

i started playing around with orchestrations and synths. so, now i'm doing an orchestral mix, and probably an ambient mix. they'll be up in the next few days.

what that means is that the final is going to need to integrate:

(1) the 2002 files with
(2) the base vst mix
(3) the orchestral arrangements
(4) the ambient mix
(5) added files (mostly guitars)

so, i've put something very big in front of me. that's ok. the other songs on the record are all also very big. but it means the eta is continuing to be pushed back.

i was hoping to get it out by the end of january. that's not likely. which means i'm not going to have a january release. i didn't have an august release, either. it takes how long it takes, y'know....

again: that's why i'd never trade this little fringe existence for timelines and schedules....

remember: nothing exists in one state. everything is fluctuating. i think songs should be like that, too.
