on second thought, i need to squeeze an ep in to august, 2002. i
believe the first track is done, but i need to spend some time with the
second.
before i left for a backpacking cross-canada
trip in mid 2003, i burned a handful of cds and formatted my pc. i
didn't want anybody snooping around when i was gone. unfortunately, the
burns picked up a weird setting that dated everything to the date of the
burn. this issue affects almost everything that was left unfinished
between 2001 and 2003, which is a lot of stuff. i was able to date the
rabit stuff better because the discs had been burnt previously to
this...
the summer of 2002 is pretty messy for me. i
was very isolated, going through hormone therapy and on the brink of
psychological collapse. so, my memory over those months is quite blurry.
but
i've convinced myself that this ep belongs before the untitled piece in
the chronology. the truth is it's not in exact order. i specifically
remember that the second track was a kind of an excursion in the middle
of recording the untitled piece, which i spent most of august and
september doing. i put it aside for later completion, which never
happened. and a process of deduction suggests to me that the first track
must have been in august.
these tracks are both messy,
conceptually. i've resisted publishing them up until this point. i'll
have to write explanations over the next few days.
