when i sat down in late 2013, my intent was just to collect all of the
tracks that were leftover. however, it became apparent quickly that i
had a pile of these weird, glitchy remixes that i meant to do something
with, but just never did anything with. they seemed to form an idea of
their own, so i split them off into this inrimixed ep.
i feel
that this decision was a good one, and that this collection has now
become an important part of the discography - so much so that i am
adding some tracks to it that were initially overlooked and then
promoting it to 'remix lp'.
i need to be clear that this is a
remix lp full of damaged, glitchy mixes. these tracks were left
unscathed by the great remastering of 2013-2016. many of them are
sourced from 112 kbps mp3 files, or worse. some are sourced from mono.
i'm presenting the artifacts in the compression as a part of the glitch
aesthetic. but, these are truly sad excuses for waveforms.
example:
the cover art is actually the waveform for track 2; similarities to the
mirror reflection of the cover of any seminal eponymous records from
the late 60s are purely coincidental. waveforms like that do not bear
any resemblance to any physical reality whatsoever. they fail, as
waveforms. yet, these are the waveforms we have before us, and these are
the sounds that such absurd waveforms make.
i suppose that the
reason i have all of these glitchy mixes from the period is that i was
planning on making a glitch lp. it's not that i specifically recall that
as being wrong, so much as it is that my memories of it being right are
not of clear strength. i sort of remember wanting to make a glitch
record. the evidence exists that i wanted to make a glitch record. now i
have the glitch record that it seems like i always wanted to make. at
the least, my current self very much likes the idea that i released a
glitch record in 1999.
