While I've put up the live recording (still sadly not multitrack) of the show at the Evelyn on the day, hours prior to the show I practiced and recorded the jam (also, again, not multitrack to save HDD space). The jam before it sounds a little better in a headphone/speaker context as I wasn't running around on stage causing a ruckus, so I could just focus on the music. Also, sometime you improvise and chance plays a role how good or meh it will be. I only recorded it to test the ability of my computer (at the time) to record.

Some of the ideas/basis of these songs will be in EPs later and can be seen as demo versions. I personally am more fond of the ambient songs here, which feel more complete than the rhythmic ones, which can be cumbersome to improvise. I am tempted to use them for some of the upcoming releases wholesale.

The final song abruptly cuts off for reasons likely to do with the old computer shitting itself. Another song uses a looper which massively distorts everything when used because of the gain being doubled. I tried to make them more listenable with some more distortion and reverb effects. The other songs are untouched from live recording minus mastering.

With the exception of "Evelyn", I'd recommend not looking up the context of the various titles on this 'record'. Let's just say I don't eat meat.

It's been a little sparse recently from both recovering from FFS (making singing and screaming difficult, not to mention just working on music, playing shows and doing stuff here) and getting sick, but I will be popping up some more noise school about automation soon. The next one will be a generative ambience in ableton's effects rack, hopefully in the next week.
