where am i on the filing?

i have done an extra thorough run through the first 10 releases, inri000-inri009, which is also the first blu-ray disc. that leaves inri010-inri074, and the tracks i'm currently working on.

i was hoping that i could sync as i was working, but it hasn't worked out. on second thought, inri004 does not sound right and i've left it unpublished. given that it took a few tries before i could set inri002 right, and something seemed to click, i decided to re-upload inri000, inri001 & inri003. i have also reuploaded inri004 yet again and am hoping it stays in place, this time.

inri004 is a lot of things - it's industrial hip-hop, it's melodic hardcare, it's shoegaze, it's blues and it's even a bit of country. it's an experimental electronic noise piece and a grunge/alternative/punk rock song at the same time. so, it's all over the place. but, if there's somebody messing with it, they're misreading it - it's not supposed to be a dancehall thumper, and it's not supposed to sound like somebody put it through a meat  grinder. it's really pretty wysiwyg - it's a punk song with a drum machine. and it has sparkly, pretty guitars - not angry, mean ones.

i don't know why anybody would imagine they could actualize my art better than i could, but the mentality underlying it is turning it into a factory process. it is effectively co-opting my art, and destroying it by turning it into a commodity. in place of unique, individual expression is substituted a set of algorithms designed to maximize market appeal. and, i neither have any interest in it nor any time for it.

i don't want to play stupid games regarding my expression.

i expect that the files i upload will not be further altered. 

and, that is all.
