this is great, every track has an organic kind of "grown together" vibe, not just sequenced. on my second listen now, i like all the little chance / found sound elements |

it's actually about a specific cul de sac near where i was living at the time. i had a music video in my hed -- i wanted to have a camera at the center of the cul de sac, gradually rotating around with the houses in time to the beat; edit the video so it seemed like there was no exit. then, come back across all the seasons -- summer, winter, spring, fall -- and repeat the process, so i could crossfade and mashup with the contrasts i drove by the area about a year ago. it hadn't changed a bit. still harbor a distant urge to go knock on their doors; ask to do a video. but even ensuring the camera shot would be seamless across sessions... i guess you'd have to use a stepper motor to rotate the camera too? too much albums kind of sync with a particular season, sometimes, and this is very much a summer album. |

this is great, every track has an organic kind of "grown together" vibe, not just sequenced. on my second listen now, i like all the little chance / found sound elements thanks! in this era, it was all hardware. usually i'd just have a 2 or 4 bar loop with perhaps a B section. i'd spend hours building layers on that loop -- how does this drum layer sound with this synth layer? adjust a bit. now how does it sound with this other synth layer. adjust a bit. now how do both synth parts sound together? adjust. now what did that do to how they sound with the the drum part? adjust eventually, i'd wind up with sixteen faders' worth of parts that all interstacked with each other in ways i found pleasant. as i built it up, i spent plenty of time laying it out as a song: i'll start with this. then i'll fade this in. then i'll cut that and bring both these in. no, no, i need to adjust that one for satisfying build. some fx. sort of building up a giant streak in my head. simultaneously practicing how i was going to move all the knobs and faders, and deciding how i wanted to move the faders. then there would be a crucial window: if i waited too long to start recording takes, well, i'd have been going ten hours at that point, and i'd be getting tired; drugs wearing off, etc. and the takes would go to crap. too early, though, and i simply wasn't ready. in working the loop into a song, here and there i'd discover a cool corner; incorporate it into the final bee waltz that would beecome a take. but i would improvise and riff every time -- "afraid of bees" for example, i channeled my anxiety. as i was winding the bee drone from the intro down via filterz, i thought of bees and got myself all sdfgjkldfkg and with this feeling, pounded my hands all over the prophet vs, which was waiting for arp input. it was intended to be a practice take, but i was like "that was perfect and why try again" |

and you've seen these before, from that era -- stuck tight to the mixer on that one; usually i was all over the pg300 and juno as much as the mixer had some loops but not early as much of a plan, just sort of winging it it was definitely better when i had a specific plan that i'd practiced over and over vs. winging it |
