the idea here was to jump from the "super happy fun song" to a very dark ambient piece, thereby emulating a deep mood swing - and setting the tone for the rest of the demo. i think i pulled this off remarkably well, for a 16 year-old.
the super happy fun song consists of me playing the same guitar pattern through different patches on my zoom 1010 multieffects pedal - a spectacularly terrible all-in-one digital effects pedal, but the source of essentially all the effects on my first several demos. the super happy fun, though, doesn't quite feel genuine. it seems to become saturated and overtaken by it's own monotonous pretension, eventually imploding into itself....
the second half of this is my first attempt at effects-based ambient music. it's just a few simple patterns on the keyboard, and a lot of effects work. that's the 1010 again. nothing fancy. no computers.
i should point out that i had to sneak into my sister's room to use the keyboard (and her electric metronome).
recorded in march, 1997. remastered nov 1, 2013.

windows
From: Jessica Murray <death.to.koalas@gmail.com>
To: the initial landlord
hi again.
the windows aren't perfect, and i overheard the conversation you had about the people upstairs; i wouldn't ask for new windows. but, they do need to be weather-sealed. i'm happy to just go around with saran wrap, but i thought i'd ask if you have some other idea before i do that.
