ok, the machine is back up.

i'm going to try to work through this.
i am five years younger than justin bieber's mother, and 14 years older than he is.

if you're curious.

so, i'm not quite old enough to be his mother. but, his mother did have him fairly young.
i'm going to have to reupload tonight because the file appears to be out of alignment. that's fine. let's hope it gets done pretty quick, and the testing process is smooth.

i'm going to take another nap...the nap this morning was kind of short....

there has been a rank smell in here over the last few days and i don't know the source of it. i have smelled this smell before, but i'm not sure exactly what it is. it might be straight up pollution from outside. if so, it's kind of curious that it set back in immediately after i cancelled the hearing.

if i'm able to tie it to something upstairs...

for now, i can't do anything about a smell that i can't entirely identify the source of. i don't think it's from below me, though, i think it's from above me.

*shrug*.

let's try to get back up again for around 17:00-18:00.

first liner note release for inri015

it took eighteen years and multiple attempts at a construction, but this record is finally permanently completed as an instrumental electronic work and i am finally proud to refer to it as my first record.

while most of these songs have defined concepts underlying them, i have ejected these concepts from the final recording and left them in a series of singles. i would prefer that this album be understood solely as the instrumental recording of electronic music that i am presenting it as.

written and demoed in multiple stages from 1994-1998. initially constructed in this form in june, 1998. a failed rescue was attempted in 2013. reconstructed and resequenced jan 6-10, 2016 from parts that were rebuilt over 2013-2016. re-released on jan 10, 2016. audio permanently closed on aug 10, 2016. finalized as lp001 on oct 10, 2016. first liner note release added on feb 6, 2020. this is my first official record; as always, please use headphones.

this release also includes a printable jewel case insert and will also eventually include a comprehensive package of journal entries from all phases of production (1996-1998, 2013-2020). as of feb 6, 2020, the release includes a 125 page booklet in doc, pdf & html, with an html5 audio & video frontend, that includes journal entries from the remastering process over sept-dec, 2013, as well as the video for inertia, from dec, 2013 .

i'm just trying to figure out if i should date the inri015 liner note release to today or not, and i'm going to, even if the html5 update doesn't get up until tomorrow morning.

i've got the pc off altogether, but i'm hoping i don't have to reimage tonight, and, if i don't, it might be fairly quick.

so, i'm going to get that all in order. and i may have to test overnight.
i didn't get as much done as i wanted to last night, partly because i passed out around midnight, but i have to stop now to shut down. i hope to be back at it close to 19:00.

i at least finalized the actual notes. so, there is a 125 page booklet in doc and pdf uploaded to the bandcamp site.

i will need to finish the html5 frontend for it tonight and get it up by tomorrow.

so, the content is done. i'm just missing the third format.

half of the point of going out is getting girled up.

if i have to wear a sweater, it's a lot less fun.
this is pleasant but generic and not particularly exciting. it might have been exciting 25 years ago. as it is, it's just kind of predictable.

if there was a rock show or a classical concert worth going to earlier in the night, i could see myself dropping by here later. but, it doesn't seem worth it in and of itself. especially given that it's going to be a little cold....

i know. i'm not that hardcore. or at least i'm not in the winter. i don't like the cold, and i don't like wearing clothes. i'd be better off in a very hot and humid climate where i can walk around naked at the winter solstice.
