supermassive 19 (recitative)
produced 2021.06.12–13

the unpacking and the questions.  Jest enters an altered state and, as if in dialogue with the universe, questions the identity of those who brought her into being and held her captive for what seemed like so long.  The voice of a stellar cluster answers back.

probably the least narratively obtuse track, which is saying so close to zero that it may as well be nothing.  my primary focus for this one in terms of production was engineering my ideal guitar tone.  i started with Whack.mp3, settled on whack 2 (which i regarded as archetypal both harmonically and sound-wise during that time) for a couple years, and eventually ended up with 19 19.mp3.  too much sauce?  also the only song with lyrics!  (see below)  as mentioned prior, contains a sample of darien - zen (@ 3:12, or BLAK HOLE 4 solo v1.mp3).

◼ PreludeONE_Master.mp3
produced for one of a few abandoned twitter trailers for the album that i think i still have somewhere but never posted (thankfully—release was still 3.5 years out).

◼ bfg 3.mp3
"the remix" by iqjobxeb xeboix.  2 of these 3 minutes were employed as an exclusive to the cd-r edition for about a year along with the entirety of 00.

◼ Dad 3_Clipped.mp3
one of the very first versions.  the lyrics are "my dad is my friend/he love and care for me/my dad is my bud/he pay my rent" which i think i thought was hilarious at the time but thankfully remained relevant enough to retain at least a part of in later iterations.
