it took eighteen years and multiple attempts at a construction, but this
record is finally permanently completed as an instrumental electronic
work and i am finally proud to refer to it as my first record.
while
most of these songs have defined concepts underlying them, i have
ejected these concepts from the final recording and left them in a
series of singles. i would prefer that this album be understood solely
as the instrumental recording of electronic music that i am presenting
it as.
written and demoed in multiple stages from 1994-1998.
initially constructed in this form in june, 1998. a failed rescue was
attempted in 2013. reconstructed and resequenced jan 6-10, 2016 from
parts that were rebuilt over 2013-2016. audio permanently closed on aug
10, 2016. finalized on oct 10, 2016. this is my first official record;
as always, please use headphones.
the original, unaltered files
are also available (along with the original 1998 cd sequence, the failed
2013 remasters and the final reconstructions - all in flac) as 112 kbps
mp3s, as i found them, on inriℵ0:

this
release also includes a printable jewel case insert and will also
eventually include a comprehensive package of journal entries from all
phases of production (1996, 1997, 1998, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016).
