inri051 starts yet another new project, the political noise project fuel true anarchy in the americas (stylized as the ftaa). this is just a minor tease of a few short experiments i was toying with over the fall of 2001, as reaction to the event that occurred at the time. while the concept only develops about 70% of the way, a record is constructed in 2004 out of odds and ends pulled from other projects. a second record is constructed in 2017 called spoke that finishes the thought properly.

i don't have an exact date for these files, so i'm picking november 11th. as others were, i was concerned about the president abolishing the magna carta after 9/11 and congress doing little more than helping him do it. however, this was meant to be a more encompassing project that combined harsh noise with political sampling that was pushing an anarchist agenda. the name of the project (ftaa) was chosen as a pun - it could either be the free trade agreement of the americas or about fueling true anarchy in the americas. i ended up dropping the sampling aspect and just focusing on the noise for the project's completion (inri079 ), so i'm going to upload these two pilot tracks (with the sampling in tact) as an introductory single and place them in this more topical chronological space. 

in hindsight, i think there's something profound about juxtaposing the fair trade movement with the 9/11 attacks as, looking back, it really sucked the life out of the movement. 

created in the fall of 2001. sequenced and released on sept 7, 2014. disc finalized on oct 22, 2017. as always, please use headphones. 

these tracks appear without samples on my seventh record, ftaa (inri079): jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/ftaa 

they also now appear, with samples, on the spoke compilation (inri067): jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/spoke 

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 (2001, 2014, 2017). 

released november 11, 2001
