there is some filtered noise going on (which is more prevalent on one of the tracks thats not currently streaming,) but perhaps one thing you might be hearing is just the noise floor of the pieces itself. i have this tendency to record things very quietly and then later when things are processed or mixed, a lot of that
noise floor comes with it.
i imagine that most of us here (and really most people involved in any artistic pursuit,) have at some point in time had other irons in other fires…writing, photography, painting, etc…and, i also imagine most people in these areas have early work or ideas that, upon reflection at later points in time, seem elementary and not noteworthy compared to where they might be (or how they are working) now. on that short tour i did, i was able to reconnect with some people i had not seen in 10+ years, and was reminded of some of the things i had explored while i/we was/were in school. i thought more about it upon my return and realized that while i still didn’t value the work itself, the underlying themes and motifs (especially these ideas on ethics) were very much in line with areas of contemporary interest and perhaps they deserved a retrial in a different medium. rest assured L+ is a piece of work that, to paraphrase eric march, is not the city built on rock & roll, as jefferson starship suggests…but rather on the previous bizarro underground version of said city. (imo, anyway)
