that was an unexpected detour, but it came out of the process of closing inri015 and i do think it was necessary and productive. that is the first two aleph discs. there will be a third up on the inriched disc, relatively soon - but that's the disc i'm turning over to.
i'm on try #4 in a row for an all nighter tonight, and i think i'm kind of required to do it, as i have some shopping to do in the morning. i need to finish the liner notes for aleph-1, then get something to eat and should finish the liner notes for inri016 by the end of the night, too. i may get started on inri017.
inri017 is largely about compiling existing sources. i do not think i have any actual remixing of any tracks to do.

https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/merch/flac-dvd-disc-vol-1
i'm rethinking my aleph-discs and introducing a flac disc of inri000-inri014 as inriℵ0. this is 13 hours and will run for $130. i'm also bringing in an inriℵ1 around inri015 that will be 10 hours and run for $100.
these are the new rules. until i make different ones. but, with the discography stabilizing, i think this is likely final. the fact that i'm making it flexible also means it's like final, unless i start noticing patterns and just lock some prices into place.
the idea behind the aleph discs is that they're dvd sized torrents. that's what people do nowadays, right? they just download torrents. well, here's a kind of concept of how much these torrents ought to actually cost, if split into dvd-sized chunks of data.
and, who would buy these? it's not going to be long before i have some mp3-dvds up for well over $200. wtf? well, think of it like this - i'm giving you the opportunity to send me money in a larger chunk of cash than $7. it's a donation to an artist. you have to think of it like that. and, have you seen what people pay for ink blots?
i think there's a kind of deeper concept to this, too, though. the internet is eliminating the music market, which is going to force artists to rely on larger donations. the future is probably not spotify because nobody gets paid. it probably looks more like this.
i'll probably have links up by the end of the night.
and, yes, this is a math joke.

Shipping and return policies for jessica murray
- Shipping Info
-
format:
single: $5
ep: $7
lp: $10
double ep (split digital/physical): $10
double ep (both physical): $14
double lp: $20
releases are categorized conceptually, rather than by length.
there are 70 minute eps and 65 minute records.
compilation formats (dvd, bd) will be priced at $10/hour of music.
so, a 7.5 hour dvd flac disc will be priced at $75.
i've been unable to derive a flat pricing that makes sense.
types of compilation discs will be:
- dvd flac "box sets" of all singles around an lp. max 10 hours.
- dvd/bd flac "period discs" of all releases in a period.
- dvd/bd mp3/flac compilation discs are a running chronological total with no overlap.
note that flac is higher quality than mp3.
therefore, mp3 discs contain more music.
pricing is relative to length, only.
be sure to purchase what you WANT.
shipping:
$5 - can
$10 - us/intl
shipping rates are flat to the max, meaning i may gain slightly but i won't lose on shipping. it's otherwise about $3 to make a package. 20% of the sale price goes to transaction fees. this is as cheap as it can be while still being worthwhile to produce. if you buy a very large package (five cds or more), shipping will come down substantially and i'll contact you to talk about ways to make it more fair.
for right now, all discs will have planned limited edition, numbered handmade runs and will be made on demand up to 5000 copies sold, at which point they will be professionally pressed without numbers.
if you want me to send you something twice, you'd better be able to prove it got lost. there will be very few exceptions. sorry.

this week just never got started. i think the biggest issue was that i had two doctor's appointments, which screwed up my schedule. i've really done nothing of value since i got back from lansing.
i have resolved to stop with the ranting on google+, and i've now finished what may be my last routine recitation. these vlogs are coming up right now and may very well be a huge pivot for me.
i need to finish some cleaning this morning, but i think i can finally get back to work tomorrow...

i made it to the post office yesterday, only to realize that it was thanksgiving in canada...
caddywhompus was last night. solid. they didn't play last, though. there was a band called "mover shaker" that played last and also delivered a very strong set.
i got the package out today.
fwiw, i haven't really slept in two days. there was a short nap yesterday before the show (2:30-5:30, much of it awake) and a short nap this morning (3:00-6:30) that i expected to be sleep, but didn't take. i woke up about 9 pm on the 9th.
that's ok - i love this, actually. i like these long, winding days. and, they make for good vlogs. but i do prefer them to be a tad more productive. hey, the concert in the middle is pretty cool, right?
i'm going to have another long day starting thursday night and taking me all the way to saturday afternoon. two concerts. a bus ride to lansing. life is good.
for however long today lasts for, and for tomorrow, i need to do a lot of loose ends. budgets. cleaning. editing.
i promised i was getting back on track, and i will be starting on sunday. i don't expect to get anything done the rest of the week.

finalizing inri015
it took eighteen years and multiple attempts at a construction, but this
record is finally permanently completed as an instrumental electronic
work and i am finally proud to refer to it as my first record.
while most of these songs have defined concepts underlying them, i have ejected these concepts from the final recording and left them in a series of singles. i would prefer that this album be understood solely as the instrumental recording of electronic music that i am presenting it as.
written and demoed in multiple stages from 1994-1998. initially constructed in this form in june, 1998. a failed rescue was attempted in 2013. reconstructed and resequenced jan 6-10, 2016 from parts that were rebuilt over 2013-2016. audio permanently closed on aug 10, 2016. finalized on oct 10, 2016. this is my first official record; as always, please use headphones.
the original, unaltered files are also available (along with the original 1998 cd sequence, the failed 2013 remasters and the final reconstructions - all in flac) as 112 kbps mp3s, as i found them, on inriℵ0:
jasonparent.bandcamp.com/merch/inri-box-set
this release also includes a printable jewel case insert and will also eventually include a comprehensive package of journal entries from all phases of production (1996, 1997, 1998, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016).

finalizing inri014
i'm moving slower than i'd like, but here's the first one, anyways:
--
this single was created by running tracks 9,10 and 11 on the cd together; it was never meant to be a unified track. 9 and 11 are proper tracks, whereas 10 is an experimental segue directly into 11. the process of compiling singles kind of accidentally led to this construction as a very natural combination and i'm now very content with it as the permanent home for both of these pieces.
these songs were both always musically driven, with kind of throwaway vocals that i don't really have any meaningful analysis for. neither of these tracks was ever conceptual or confessional or ever meant much to me on a personal level, so they don't have the kind of stories or explanations that the other tracks that were important to me do. i have not remixed the vocals into either of these songs; all of the tracks on the physical release are entirely instrumental. why bother releasing a single, then?
the reason is that i ended up with a number of mixes for both of them and just needed a place to house them. of course, that's not actually any kind of an interesting concept to build a single around. it was precisely because there was no retained concept underlying either of these tracks that the singles seemed pointless. but, once they were connected via the segue, the purpose of a single became readily apparent in that connection, itself.
the decision was sealed by a curious synchronicity in time. they were both originally written for the 1996 cassette demo, and separated there by a guitar/bass cover of "mellon collie and the infinite sadness". the entanglement is probably not entirely coincidental; i have a vague recollection of checking the tape to ensure i didn't forget any songs, and i may very well have repeated recording them in succession for that reason. however that happened to be, the synchronicity is a big part of what allowed me to create this ep the way that i've created it as it allowed me to label demo versions of the track with the same title.
while neither of these tracks have meaningful vocals, they are both important in my musical development. schizoid features my first multi-part string accompaniment and terrorists is a serious step forward in harmonic complexity. even the segue (titled "abusive") is something different: it's my first run at a 909 emulator, and a step out to lunch in abstract sound design.
so, as the last piece completed for my first record, this is somewhat of a portal to transit through, in terms of the developing complexity in my compositional abilities. but, it does not and never did have any worthwhile conceptual meaning to me. as such, there is no story to tell.
initially written in 1996. recreated mostly in feb, 1998 (schizoid, terrorists) but also partly in june, 1998 (abusive). sequenced in this form in june, 1998. a failed rescue was attempted in 2013. "terrorists" was reclaimed june 28-29, 2015 & remixed july 15, 2015. the main mix was corrected on nov 19, 2015. "schizoid" was reclaimed on july 12, 2015 & reprogrammed on dec 31, 2015. the main mix was corrected on jan 3, 2016 and remixed repeatedly jan 3-5, 2016. the lead track was sequenced on jan 5, 2016 and split back apart on jan 8, 2016. audio permanently closed on aug 1, 2016. release finalized on oct 9, 2016. as always, please use headphones.

i got some sleep yesterday, and this was good. i'm unfortunately a little slow transferring over, as i have some conservatives trying to win an argument with me on youtube (they're persistent, anyways). these are trained propagandists. i can tell by the talking points. they're trying to talk me into caring about deficits, but i frankly don't think they even realize how wrong what they're saying is. if they did, they'd just give up.
--
this individual was (is, i guess) a fiscal conservative. he insisted i take a position that defends the liberal party of ontario. what he was trying to do was constrain the discussion to a "legitimate debate" between liberals and conservatives.
but, i am not a liberal - i am a socialist. and, i was resisting this attempt to "legitimize" the discussion by avoiding his bait as long as i could.
i accidentally took the bait, and there wasn't a way out. but, i need to be clear: i didn't want to have this debate. it's not a topic i'm interested in. and, it's very hard for me to have these debates because i'm so far to the left that i constantly have to redefine terms with any opponent.
the bit about money being an artificial construct, for example. i understand his point, from his perspective. but, if you reject the concept of money, my position does follow.
you might suggest that i have no business having a detailed policy discussion about the liberal party's budget if i reject the concept of money - to which i would respond that i didn't want to have that discussion in the first place.
if this was in real life, i would have gotten up and walked away. you can't do that online. you can't ignore somebody. you have to block them.
--
it was a long exchange, and it took me all day and now i'm hungry again :\. i hadn't eaten in a few days, and filled my stomach up quickly so i only had half what i usually eat...
but, i am going to be back to finishing the write-ups for inri014 and inri015 by the end of the night. i plan to ship in the morning...

also....
i've made a choice to back off of the listening, for now, and just get on with it.
i lost the month of september altogether. august was messy, but september just evaporated. so, i'm very far behind and want to get a move on things.
on top of that, i've certainly listened to these recordings quite a bit through my mp3 player and i'm absolutely confident that they are not going to be altered. so, what am i doing, really? i've lost a lot of time and don't want to waste any more.
finally, i know i'm going to come back to this when i'm done the next section, anyways.
so, here's the new plan: fill up the mp3 player and then come back to it. that's 2 gb of mp3s. when i get there, i'll stop and do a massive listening run over all of period 1 before moving back on to period 2.
that means i need to finish the final close on inri014 and inri015 tonight and then move on to inri016 when i finish cleaning, in a few days. my new goal is to completely finish period 1 by halloween. and, i think we can do this.

i've had a really off the wall month - i spent this week sick in bed and the week before it trying to work through what passing out in detroit and waking up in a stranger's car actually means. listening left off on the 6th. and, i'm several weeks behind on the alter-reality....
what i'm going to do this morning is catch up on the alter-reality, and i will post those updates here as they come in. i'll then need to finish up all the things i need to finish as quickly as i can finish them.
it's kind of important to me that i'm able to get over this hump and into the next phase by the end of this season. it's going to be tight. very tight. but, this is currently my goal.
the temperature is coming down over the weekend and i can't imagine we'll continue to get these kinds of hot days much further into autumn. so, i should also be able to move back into the other room - which i'm going to need to have filled up again by the summer to avoid this scenario happening again.
one thing at a time. alter-reality. real-life shit. then, back to listening. and on to finalizing my second record.
