the core
of this was written in my parent's basement in the spring of 2001.
planning on going to a rave that weekend, i had previously purchased a
large amount of drugs; i was, however, forced to stay in due to having a
calculus test that sunday (the rave was out of town). well, my parents
were gone for the weekend, most of my friends were out of town and i had
a massive stash of drugs...
it is quite literally a symphony of psilocybin induced madness and was written directly into an ancient, hacked score-writing program. while it has been labelled as a symphony of drunken confusion in certain contexts to get around certain social stigmas, this is inaccurate.
around 2006 or so, i took a course in electronic music design that had a recorded component and pulled the score off of my hard drive with the intent of finally recording it properly. the dx7 i had available to me greatly improved the synth patches, enough that i'm willing to let the track rest that way.
i've included midi files of the original composition, if you'd like to mess with it on your own.
i now consider this my fifth symphony.
written in the spring of 2001. lent out for a different project in jan, 2004. reconstructed in the first quarter of 2006, especially over march. the vst mix was added on jan 10, 2015 and the two guitar mixes were added on may 29, 2015. finalized as symph005 on oct 15, 2017. as always, please use headphones.
the album version of this track appears on my fifth record:
jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
the divine amoebas version also appears on my seventh record:
jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/ftaa
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, 2004, 2006, 2014, 2015, 2017).
