the idea
of a second jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj record was
not something that remotely crossed my mind until i started seriously
analysing my work from 2002. that was a separate idea; rabit is wolf
separated it from the trivial group. however, remixed instrumental
tracks over the rabit is wolf period slowly collected to the point that
there was enough to justify a whole record. that wasn't a conscious
choice at the outset, but it seems to be the conceptual framework
collected on the record. i toyed with the idea of releasing it as a
rabit remix record, but my influence over it is far too lopsided.
the thematic linkage with the first jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj record is a tendency to lean towards more "serious" ideas. there are strong influences from a few different types of classical music, including jazz, as well as some more modern electronic and noise influences. however, these songs lean more towards more palatable rock or techno based song structures and are less dependent on existing scores.
the stories for these songs are diverse and explained in more detail on the track pages.
these tracks are all based on existing demos from 2001-2002 that were initially intended to be completed with vocal parts and were remixed from july, 2014 to may, 2015 as purely instrumental recordings. final completion date is may 2, 2015. this is my sixth official record; disc finalized as lp014 on nov 21, 2017. as always, please use headphones.
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 (2001, 2002, 2014, 2015, 2017).
