this is a
project that has been through many incarnations and reversions, which
should hopefully stabilize now that the tracks are entirely instrumental
and the substantial number of outtakes have been categorized into
companion eps. i don't expect to modify this further; as of jan, 2014,
the slow, 15 year process of removing samples and reconstructing
instrumental sections is now entirely complete.
what's left when the thematic ideas are stripped out is an eccentric and elaborate delve into psychedelic and electronic music that has no clear parallels that the author is aware of.
the record can be sectioned into 4 parts:
- ignorance is bliss [introduction]
- entropy/curious george/gravity's rainbow [program]
- a commercial break [intermission]
- acidosis [finale]
recorded over the space of the year 2000. remixed substantially in 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2014. existing version constructed in jan, 2014. finalized as lp009 on oct 9, 2017. as always, please use headphones.
an audience exists somewhere that will cherish this as the truly unique monstrosity that it is.
