inri082?
this extended ep will be a comprehensive exploration of all of the versions of this recording.
for now, here is the maximal version, which contains a poem that was
written in mid-2004 but not added to the track until 2011 (and will be
removed for the album version).

inri081
inri079. seventh record.
audio needs to be replaced, items need to close..
...except that i think i did replace the audio, already. so, i'm just looking at final sequencing decisions; this is just about done.
it's the sample-free, (mostly) instrumental reclamation of my seventh lp.

publishing inri079
an art show demo, uploaded as is. inri079.
it's not a complex story - sarah wanted to have a showing of some of her paintings in her apartment, so she asked me to write some music for it. i just took some of the things i was working on and put them together.
this is the sum total of material worked on in my mother's apartment, where i stayed from about december, 2003 to about may, 2004.
this would eventually become the core of the next symphony.
initially written and recorded over the second half of 2003 and the very beginning of 2004. compiled on january 18, 2004. ripped from cd-r on april 11, 2014. finally uploaded and published without further modification on sept 18, 2019. as always, please use headphones.

these are some demos that i recorded on my 4-track in sarah and heather's apartment on dalhousie in ottawa in late 2003. i still have the tape, but i haven't digitized, yet.
the only thing i transferred was a section that became "like divine amoebas", because i was using it, directly. the non-digitized sections were mostly for the lost symphony, iirc.

i will finally complete this symphony, soon.

i wrote this song on a beach in kelowna in mid 2003. it looked a lot like the picture...
there's a lot of space in the track, which is intentional. in the final recording, i filled it out with birds chirping, but the initial intent was something out of a john cage piece - listen to what's around you. relax...
that said, a live version of the track at the time would have featured me playing multiple parts at once, which were separated in the recording for tonal variance. i'm hoping that i find a fuller recording, but here's a background track, for now.

it's been too long, so i should remind people what the next stage is, once i get all this journal writing done.
period 3 is next and will start in seriousness when i get back from bc in mid-2003.
this period was unstable, and unfocused, overall, but i got a fair number of demoes down, at least.
i've also made some tracks public that were previously hidden, even though it's going to take forever to do it.
1) inri075 needs to be cleaned up, but is essentially done.
it's some demos recorded over the second half of the summer of 2003 in a psychedelic-prog style that document my immediate feelings after getting back.
this should be an ep.
sept 1, 2003.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/kelowna
2) inri076 is the second of four half hour epics that will make up the trivial group 2xlp.
there are rough demoes dated to much later, but i'd be starting this from scratch, and it will be a major project to finish.
there are no serious demoes because i was living on sarah's floor at the time, due to being thrown out of my parents' basement.
i don't even remember why. i think i called my stepmother psychotic (which was just a statement of fact).
this will likely be a lengthy ep that will at least include instrumental and vocal versions.
this is more of a rock symphony than reflections, but the end project will be quite psychedelic.
i had been listening to a lot of 'soundtracks for the blind', and you can tell.
this would be symphony 9.
nov 1, 2003.
note, however, that i may have to extend the inri numbers if i decide to release some singles dated to october, 2003.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/the-lost-symphony
3) inri077 is literally a couple of four-track acoustic demoes that i recorded on sarah's floor.
these pop up elsewhere, but they're their own thing, too.
this should come up as is, i'm just waiting for inri #s.
dec 1, 2003
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/bedroom-cassette-demoes
4) inri078 is a recording that sarah asked me to create for an "art show" she put on in her apartment.
it's just some rough versions of some things i was doing, but it's it's own document, too.
this should come up as is.
jan 23, 2004.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/art-show-demo
5) inri079 is the ftaa lp, which is my sixth official record.
i'm dating it to june 1, 2004 because that's when i first constructed it, but the audio needs to be replaced with final versions of each of the tracks.
there is an older version of the record there, already.
this should otherwise be quick.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/ftaa
6) the tenth symphony is dated to aug 15, 2004. while it is done, a nice compilation will need to be constructed.
no audio here, yet.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/interplanetary-isomorphism
7) the cycles per second ep came out of a course on wavelet compression that i took in 2004.
this ep is done, it just needs an inri #.
it's also the front-end for a noisy matlab project that will be entirely prgrammed and will be my eight or ninth record.
if i ever get through this, it may be the template for further post-discography composition.
nov 1, 2004.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/the-spontaneous-combustion-of-leonardo-pisano
8) i briefly played bass, as a favour to the guitarist, for an ottawa pop-punk band called throatmotor.
there was some discussion around doing actual interesting music, but it never materialized.
this is an attempt on my behalf to contribute to the writing which was, as always, simply ignored.
i'm not exactly sure what will be done with this, yet.
may 1, 2005
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/throatmotor-fragment
9) this is the trivial group lp, which i have dated to june, 2005 but will probably move to past the fourth symphony, xenophanes.
the components will be reflections (8th), the lost symphony (9th), interplanetary isomorphism (10th) & xenophanes (11th).
the first and last two are largely done, while i haven't started recording the second.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/e
10) i made an attempt over mid 2005 to start a more conventional rock band by floating some rock songs that i described, at the time, as "impressionist jazz punk".
these tracks were actually written between mid-2003 and mid-2005, but they never got beyond the guitar stage, because i wanted to perform them with an actual band.
the compilation is dated to mid-2005, but we'll have to see what i do about actually completing them.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/impressionist-jazz-punk
11) this is the fourth trivial group symphony and 11th overall, entitled 'xenophanes'.
dated to sept 1, 2005 for now.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/xenophanes
12) when i get there, i'll create an lp of music i created from 1998-2006 for a scholastic reason.
dated to may, 2006.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/scholastic-pieces
13) this is the introduction of a symphony i started at the end of 2006 and had to place on indefinite hold due to life circumstances. this introduction is very noisy, and i'm somewhat impressed by myself listening to it at the moment. but, the second - incomplete and unreleased - section sounds like al di meola jamming with the aphex twin, and that's a better way to describe the overall intent. this might end up as a tetris release and is probably the end of period 3.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/the-crash
period 4....the bronson years.
14) this is a good way to start period 4.
it will need to compile just the guitar parts for all of the later period symphonies.
dating it to early 2007 makes sense, but we'll see if it's actually right or not when i get there.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/genesis
15) this will need to come up at the end of period 3, and will be a collection of midi percussion renders for tracks composed over 2000-2007.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/percussive-works
16) this is a messy, out of sync demo that represents the beginnings of what was supposed to be the tetris project.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/evil-is-a-human-construction
17) by combining this with the guitar demos, it is possible to get a rough idea of what the first three movements of this lp will sound like. there are five written movements.
dating is unclear.
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/proverbs
18) i started writing this concept record weeks before i got evicted from the apartment on bronson, in mid-2011.
it's very much the end point of the discography, at this point.

1)conservatives. they're not even in contention, they never are.
2)people's party. i don't like their positions on economics or science, and i don't really agree with them on immigration, either. they're not under serious consideration.
3)liberals. under the control of stupid people, they've become the stupid party.
4)ndp. they used to be the stupid party, but now they're just next level. say no to magic beards in office.
5) greens. i don't like her either, but she can't win. is the local candidate worth supporting? that's what i need to figure out.
6)mlm. this is the first election where i've seriously considered it, but, if they win, it might be the last one i'll get the chance to consider it. there's almost no chance.
7) spoiled ballot. that's running a close second, right now.

i've been stating for years that i'm not comfortable with elizabeth may's religious beliefs, either. this is a big part of the reason that i'm hesitating - i don't really want to vote for her, either. but, she's a known entity, and it's a difference of scale.
she's not helping herself by running her mouth off.

i would support jagmeet singh's right to practice his silly religion, or express his cultural homogeneity, or however he sees it, at a private law practice, as he sees fit. i'm not going to bother him at work, even if i might support policies to get to his kids.
and, a savvy lawyer could charge a magic fee for access to his magic beard.
but, there's not a fucking chance in hell i'd ever vote for him - and i know i'm right, so don't bother calling me names about it.

what a "progressive" (and i'm just co-opting the term, here, with a dictionary definition) politics should be based around is helping people out of these cults - which means providing them with support to break free from them. that holds for sikhism, islam, christianity, judaism and all the rest.
the last thing that a "progressive" politics should be doing is giving these religious groups a platform, or helping to put them into power.
electing a guy with a turban would be a step backwards, and let's hope we're never "ready" for it.

stated differently: progress does not look like a "multicultural" society, where we accept any and all manners of lousy thinking as equally valid. and, "diversity of thought" is not about a diversity of mindlessness. religion is the opposite of free-thinking.
rather, diversity of thought requires the abolition of organized religion as a pre-condition - we can't be independent thinkers and tolerant of the conformity of religious sameness at the same time, it's an impossible contradiction. fighting for diversity means fighting against these cults.
further, progress is a secular society where we don't see the world through these backwards prisms of childishness and make-believe any more; progress happens when religion ceases to exist.
and, this isn't alt anything. it's standard, basic leftism. what you want is a traditional, conservative society defined by people like edmund burke.

if the result of legalization is that we all have to suffer these old people smoking drugs by themselves on their porches and stinking up the neighbourhood, maybe we should go back to making it so they can't find it.

i was woken up by a brutal skunk smell this morning, and it was strong and concentrated enough that i'm going to conclude it was actually a skunk. i've seen them around; they're native to the area.

so, socialists broadly argue that the progressive insistence that you can regulate capitalism is based on the flawed idea that there are just bad people in bad places, and once you put an eye on them then everything will be ok. we argue that this is wrong because the problem isn't the individual people in the equation, but rather the system that created them and put them there. so, we don't argue for regulation, we argue for revolution; you can't fix the system, you need to tear it down.
so, it's not that power corrupts people. that's what warren would say, and is maybe how she's rationalizing this. rather, it's that people are only minor players in a system that functions around corruption as it's operating procedure. it's not that good people are corruptible, it's that it's impossible to uncorrupt the system.
but, i've noticed a few people point this out before - warren likes to write rules. she doesn't like to follow them, though. she might think that's pragmatic - because she thinks she's special - but smart people should realize that that's dangerous.
we have a rule of law for a reason, and everybody needs to follow it, even the self-appointed vanguard.
