i'm
going to need to run the final version through some buses and eqs to
get it to really come out, but this is a reasonable approximation of how
i would have wanted the instrumental mix to sound in early '02.
i've
added the two ftaa tracks to the clarity single because they're playing
around with a similar guitar riff. it's an idea that got recycled, so
there's a thematic unity tying it together. i guess it gives the
"single" (it's 62 minutes) a little bit of extra variation and
playability, as well.
strung out was done about the
same time as i was playing with clarity. it was the initial source of
the riff, which i then used in clarity, thinking strung out was just
going to sit on my computer. i constructed "through the looking glass"
out of files from 00-02 in 04 for the ftaa disc; that is, all the
original files existed when clarity was being written, but i didn't
actually put the collage from those files together for a few years.
tacking it on here is thematic, if slightly anachronistic....
recorded in late 2001 and early 2002. reconstruction date is oct 18, 2014.
