an uncharacteristically frigid May dawn, but the sun is lovely. put this together this morning while rearranging my second, "away from the computer," setup. korg module (piano+synth), pedals, and tape loops made from both.
lots of love, stay safe ♥
PS: if it wasn't clear, the everydays project is on hold for a while! i need to focus on other projects right now but i want to get back to it at some point. given the state of things, though, it's best i focus my energy on other projects i want to get done. ♥

this the earliest existing full album of mine, predating even the Renard alias, created in the midst of peak weebery (the babelfish japanese, holy shit! you think google translate sucks? try babelfish circa 2005!). a lot of these tracks have survived, and not in much higher quality than this. this is an early print-on-demand CafePress CDr, and if you could believe it, you had to upload in 192kbps MP3 at the time. this was still a lot for my dialup connection at the time (about 2kb/s, maybe 3 on a very good day) and was something i had to upload overnight, tying up the phone line the whole time. it failed a couple times, too, so it was a few sleeps of trying to get it uploaded.
there was a lot of disc rot going on with the last remaining copy of this (many thanks to an old friend for holding onto it and delivering it as soon as possible - hes featured on this record, playing the flute on KING OF SORROW), and you can hear read errors at the tail end of the last track in particular. issues regarding disc rot are especially prevalent among earlier CDr media, so if you have any old discs youre hoping to back up, do it now!
crazy to think this was 15 years - nearly half my life - ago. i wouldve been 15-16 when i produced most of these. of note, this is the first official appearance of Quiet Man, which was already in its second revision. of course, the NEKO name would somehow live on as a fish with a lot of tails, but only for one hard trance track for the most part. i guess their natural evolution was Mayhem? fucked up.
the tool i use for most of my work today (OpenMPT) is the same tool i used to make everything you hear on this record (an older version without VST support, granted - those old DirectX effects go quite a ways though!).
i hope you find this look into the past enlightening or entertaining - and more than anything, i hope it inspires you to keep developing your craft, whatever that may be. ♥
