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).

i'm considering doing a pop record, and calling it "music for children".
so, where am i on this?

i printed inri061 & inri062 yesterday, and the ink still seems fine, although the printer seems to be wasting more & more of it by the day.

61 was a big item, and needed a lot of cyan, and i screwed up 62 on the first print. so, i've already printed around 30 pages and 8 discs, and i'm only a third down. if i get 100 pages out of it, that's $0.20/page. and that's more like something i can budget around, long term.

i need to go in the other room to finish the back for aleph-14, which is the 5th flac dvd disc. 63 is the record, and it's done. then, there's the box set, which is more typing. 64 is the flying single, which is done - but is also the first 2003 release, and the first trivial group release. it's a definite shift. but, the period doesn't end until may, when i leave for bc. 65 is refractions, which is the last one of these that will require any serious input into expansion, and may end up as a 2xcd set.

after that, there's a string of several compilation records that will need to be finalized all at once. that really closes period 2.

but, the last release in this string of items is my eighth symphony, the reflections ep, which i need to expand to be comprehensive. that is dated to may 1, 2003 and represents the absolute end of my second period.

period 3 will pick back up again in september, 2003, after i've come back home and had some time to lose my mind a little bit more. i don't know if i'll get to this before the 1st or not. but, the material coming after this has not been recently published, and in some cases hasn't ever been published.

i need to prioritize the alter-reality. and, the move is going to mean reconstructing all of the electronics in my life. so, this material may sit for a while.

but, i'm turning a corner on this. soon. very soon.
