this is a slow process. i think i've got it worked down to a three-cd set (with a possibly download-only "cd 0"), but i don't want to upload this on a track-by-track basis. maybe before the next sleep.

the zeroth disc is going to be a "mix tape" of spliced together ambient sections, the first is going to be made of material that is (mostly) sourced from live instruments and the second is going to be an all-sequenced record. these three approaches are substantially sonically different - the sequenced material is very ordered, whereas the mixtape is likely to be pretty messy and jarre-ing (sorry.).

for vols 1-2, i'm trying to avoid overlap with the other official and unofficial recordings - i want this to be made up of b-sides, mostly. as a "mix tape", the 0th is a different thing...

consequence of impulse

this is an instrumental/ambient remix of a section of "me, myself and the time i thought this was a good idea". i did not initially reclaim this track from rabit is wolf because the source file for the bass and vocals are in the same wave file (making them inseparable) and i felt that redoing the bass would destroy the track's rough, lo-fi feel. i created this mix for this collection by removing both the bass and vocals via phase inversion and then reconstructing the bass via loops and strategic editing. i then faded the track out before the "chorus". it works in this context, but wouldn't work in any other, so this is an exclusive mix to this collection.

written and recorded in the fall of 2001. remixed on may 19, 2015.

trepanation nation (ambient mix)

written over 2001 and rethought repeatedly over 2002, again in 2007, a third time in 2009 and one last time in late 2014. this mix was initially completed on december 5, 2014 and augmented to include some further effects work on may 18, 2015.
