so, that means inri079 is now properly filed on my archive drive and i need to build inri80 after...breakfast. 

so, i can't create a comparable instrumental version of "like divine amoebas" because the track would lose it's purpose. it's two tracks pasted together - an acoustic guitar tape experiment & a weird piano + drum machine freakout that's meant to represent two souls dividing from each other as one dies (like amoebas).

if i just phase reverse the vocals out, there'll be this awkward gap in the track - which was really constructed around the vocals. rather, i'd have to fade the tape experiment down or something, but then why not just put  the whole thing in there? the dramatic "amoebas" loses itself...

and, then, if i'm going to do that, i need the amoebas single after all with the following:

- the full vocal mix in the best way possible (the version on the art show demo is a little bit corrupted)

- the instrumental mix for the ftaa (with the full tape experiment)

- the version on the art show demo, which was normalized in the burn (and left that way in the upload)

i'm also going to include a base mix that i have, which is unfinished but interesting, and a cut version of the symphony of psilocybin induced madness, which utilizes the same piano part.

so, that's inri080, which i'm going to date to feb 1, 2014; the ftaa demo is next, and will be dated to inri081. i need to stop to eat...

a few loose ends so they're written down...

i thought about releasing an alternate lp that included the following 2003 components, which are basically comprehensive, in sequence:

1. reflections

2. all you need

3. into oblivion

4. like divine amoebas

5. interplanetary isomorphism

...in some combination of vocal and instrumental tracks but everything's worked out already.

- if you want the full pieces with vocals, listen to inri074, inri076 & inri079 in order.

- what about without vocals? well, like divine amoebas only exists instrumentally on inri077 right now and all you need doesn't exist instrumentally at all. so, i made a decision to put an instrumental version of all you need (along with the pending noise intro) as a segue between reflections and isomorphism on the first side of the upcoming trivial group 2xlp. in that space, into oblivion is remixed and segues directly into isomorphism; in fact, they're combined into a single, epic song. further, isomorphism then runs directly into xenophanes. so, there's nowhere to put amoebas, except right after all you need, and that's not sitting with me well, not for the least reason being that the track is released on ftaa. so, should the version on ftaa be stripped of vocals, then, to place the instrumental version on a record? then, i'd have to move the vocal version to a single. of the major records (inri, inriched, inridiculous, deny everything, jjjjjjjjj, jjjjjjjjj^2, ftaa), the only vocal track is stress - everything else is discarded as singles. so, this would only be the second retained vocal track. do i really want that, or do i want a vocals-only single for amoebas like the others? is that too much overlap? 

- so, i was looking at a divine amoebas single, which is another way to do it. if i do this, i'll need to date it to right before the art show demo, and push the ftaa up inri081.

-  i'm going to explore the idea of splicing the end of all you need with the end of a transfer for the record, though.

- that said, there will be a vocals-only compilation released at the end of period 3 with all of the vocal tracks from periods 2 &3 (post-inrimoved).

the update for june 17th is coming soon, and it needs to be the completed version of ftaa record - my 7th lp, finally.

we'll see if i stop there or keep going.

so, the period 3.1 post for june 16th was the art show demo, inri079, which i uploaded as is some time ago and dated to early january, 2004. there will be a number of historical demos released over period 3 that contain half-finished music because i circulated them that way; it's really a relic of the period when cd burning was easily accessible and everybody listened to music that way.

what it is is an unfinished mix of the interplanetary isomorphism symphony, with the track "like divine amoebas" inserted into the middle. "all you need" had already been dropped by then, but the symphony is simply not yet complete.

so, i mean, it's a historical relic, but it's also interesting for what it is - as an alternate lp.

the bulk of this will appear on the trivial group lp in completed instrumental form, whereas "like divine amoebas" appears largely as is on the ftaa ep.

what actually happened was that i started doing the lost symphony and got lost in the intro.

so, the intro in that demo ended up over a half hour long when i worked it out, meaning the actual song got lost in the process...

in that sense, the lost symphony is sort of "xenophanes part two", but t's more like xenophanes is the introduction to the lost symphony.

some time in 2004 or so i mentioned to sean that the trivial group will either end up being the most ridiculous, epic thing ever recorded.....or the most pretentious flop ever imagined. you can tell me what you think of it.

this version is dated to 2007, i think.

inri078 initial demo upload

today's period 3.1 run through post is for inri078, which is the lost symphony and will complete the trivial group 2xlp when it completes over the next few weeks. 

i have many demos of this track to sort through, and most of them will end up on this single, which will be like the other singles in being comprehensive. but, because this is the lost symphony and not an incomplete composition, these will actually be multiple demo versions, and i'm going to want to find a way to pull them together, as well.

for right now, i'm just posting a link to the demo from 2007 that has been up there for a while and will *not* form a literal basis for the version i'm about to start one last time from scratch. however, it's the most complete version...

this will sequence after xenophanes to close the 2xlp, but it is dated to late 2003 (whereas xenophanes only completes in mid 2006).

i'm a good chunk of the ways done what i was doing.

there's a lot of data....

https://jessicamurrayreleasestimeline.blogspot.com/

so, i'm going to create a separate blog just as a timeline for release dates.

this will replace the facebook page, which will be shut down relatively soon.

pickup notes in this fashion are fairly common in celtic guitar music.

i can grasp the corruption in sound audio, but how'd it get out of sync? 

what seemed to disappear in the track was the pickup up note that it starts on, which both precedes and finalizes the loop. i'd notate this in 4/4 and make the loop four bars, so you'd end up with the following if you were to notate it:

x |: 1... | 1... | 1... | 1..x :|

...with the pickup note where the xes are. so, it's just an extra quarter note at the front of the pattern...

i don't know how, but something got confused somewhere, as it sounds like the pickup shifted to the one, which just put everything out of order.

like i say - this is very weird...

so, i deleted the track and reuploaded and it sounds better.

weird.

some kind of corruption somewhere, maybe.

yeah, the bandcamp compression seems to be having some difficulties with that rough version of the lost symphony i pulled from tape. there's supposed to be a flanging effect on the right channel, and it's just a gross, muddy, warbled mess on the stream. oddly, it seems like the stream is having difficulty syncing the right and left channels together as well, which i don't quite understand. the file i uploaded is correctly in sync. what process would separate the channels and then put them back together wrong? it's weird.

it sounds fine on the other computer...

but, it's a temp mix anyways, and i'll need to fix it when i clean that up over the next few weeks.

so, yes - i'm several days behind schedule...

what i need to do right this minute is file my backup drive and rebuild it in the back-up sources. and, i need to get it done before sunrise.

and, today's period 3.1 update post is for the bedroom cassette demos (inri077). this is likely complete.

==============

inri077. 

these are some demos that i recorded on my 4-track in sarah and heather's apartment on dalhousie in ottawa in late 2003.  

initially, the only thing i transferred was a section that became "like divine amoebas", because i was using it, directly. i seem to have lost that tape, but i have found a second tape with an early version of the lost symphony and added it to the ep. it's not currently immediately clear if there are further demos from this period in the other room in a pile of boxes or not.

released november 1, 2003 

inri076

so, it's uploaded now and it's staying there.

i think that, of the pieces not yet released, this one is the most emotionally difficult to let into the public listening sphere. it was a long time ago...

if it's not obvious, the track is pretty sardonic. but, this is also, like, just pure sound art - i was feeling fucked up and just wanted to capture it best i could.

do i sound like sean in the recording? well, sean admitted he was trying to sound like me in the first place. the rabit working relationship was always sort of weird, as i was in total control of the whole process from the very start, so sean sounded the way he did because i made him sound that way (and he never figured out how to recreate that, if he actually wanted to). what is true is that there is some lingering feeling from that part of the discography, which had at that point just closed down a few months previous. but, i never released this until today, and it doesn't linger much longer than this.

that noise file i found from 2004 actually uses the same jx-8p sound effect i used in this track, and there's a conceptual idea i wanted to document that's kind of lingering, so i will probably add a noise composition to the start of this that is based on that existing file. that works out quite well.

i'm past due to eat....

==============

inri076 will be a short single with the early version of eleventh dimension (& all you need...) 

soul swap piece? 

============ 

i'll do a write-up for this a little later. 

for now, i'm just going to point out that my brain sort of broke in the middle of 2003, and this was the result of it. it sort of speaks for itself in some sense. 

i think maybe two people have heard this.... 

the second track got cleaned up and used for the start of the interplanetary isomorphism (the third trivial group symphony), but the first track just got completely discarded - and there's lots of reasons for that that we'll go over later. 

what i've done in 2021, for now, is remaster the track to turn the vocals down. the track is otherwise bitwise identical (excluding some intentional clipping). 

i may write an original piece to precede this to close it. 

written & recorded in 2003. remastered in 2021. inri076. 

as always, please use headphones.

released september 1, 2003 

j - guitars, drum programming, digital wave editing, synthesizers, electric mandolin, vocals

alright, this is on it's way up a few hours later than i wanted it to be but so be it.

i've never released this before...

....and this is, i think, unlike anything i'd ever done previously. i'm lucky to have an archive like this - i don't tend to repeat myself, creatively. so, let it begin - this is period 3.1...

*deep breath*

(like anybody's listening, anyways.)

got it, actually...

ok, this is going to take longer than i thought, so i have to eat.

i need this filed before i leave the house, too.
