strung out (clarity mix)

so, the pun here is that it's a lot of guitars going off out of tune, representing how the government is stringing us out to dry by taking away our rights in the (not so) chaotic aftermath of 9/11. there are versions of the track with thematic samples, but i've removed them for this release.

the sample version is available here:
jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/give-em-hell-harry-strung-out

the reason i'm including the file as a lead-in to the clarity single is that there is a guitar riff with an ultimately celtic sort of sailor folk theme running through this track that i ended up reusing in the bridge of clarity (and a third time in "through the looking glass"). this track was completed first, but the ftaa project (jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/ftaa) that it was connected to didn't have release dates or anything. i really considered it mostly disposable at the time. yet, it's a necessary inclusion if i wish to comprehensively explore clarity as an idea.

created in the fall of 2001. the file was edited into this form on october 18, 2014
