This is the full version of the "crowd chatter" sound collage I used as the intro to "Shut Up, Thanks" - the track consists of several sped up tracks of a text to speech program reciting nonsense layered over each other.

Fun with melodica loops. Title taken from a machine-translated Japanese Pizza Hut website.

Hanging on my closet, I have a sticker for Narraganset beer and a mock-road-sign reading "Dystopia" with an arrow pointing both directions. The juxtaposition was unintentional, but I decided I liked it.

I made this with the intention of having someone I know fill it in with vocals/other details. I haven't heard back about it yet, and in the mean time I may start trying out my own lyrical ideas on it.

Once I created this beat, I knew I wanted to create kind of a Kraftwerk-ish early techno song with it.

Created entirely with vocal samples.

Just before I made Feb.ZOIG, I made a noisy, experimental EP (Noisy Exploding Brain) and a minimal ambient one (Jack Shetland EP), and I think because of this, this album ended up as a mix of both styles. This song is the first one that ended…

I gave myself a rough guideline that most songs should be between 30 seconds and 2 minutes long - this was both because I didn't want the album to be much longer than 45 minutes and because I knew there were going to be certain days when I wouldn…

I did a little "self-sampling" on this album - the cut up vocals were from my song "Nasty Asterisk". Later on I'd use the exact same backing track to cover "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mixalot, because I realized I'd inadvertently copied that bass-line.

Man I was really into making these square-wave-sampling, dodgy bootleg 8-bit video game soundtrack pieces for a while.

Experimenting with very short loops.

For some of these tracks I was really thinking "what can I do to make this annoying to listen to?"

Originally my idea was to improvise half a conversation, then also improvise the other half as a different character - I ended up deciding just having half the conversation was funnier. Kinda unintentionally inspired by "Pollo Asado" by Ween.

Somewhat Residents-inspired. The rhythm is me breathing heavily and slapping my desk, run through a lot of reverb.
