"Made by 1.502 from June 2023-January 2025. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Seamless playback is recommended. Funding for this album was made possible by NXIVM."
This album was put together in a shorter form with only 9 tracks back in January, and it was gonna come out on this one label, but I had a mental moment and revoked it, and also changed my name like twenty times or something in between then and now. I recorded these tunes over the years, most of them are improvised or made in audacity with two being made in renoise (bonobo and smile). I actually do really like these batch of tunes, I feel maybe I made it a bit too long and maybe there's too many songs that are only one minute, but I gave it a listen the other day and it generally meshes well, though that is partially because I made it a seamless record, most of the songs slightly bleed into the next. All in all i'm pretty proud of this record, I think it's pretty consistent in quality and could probably stand a couple repeat listens. The cover art is really funny to me because of how painfully generic it is, I actually threw it together in MS Paint and just used Helvetica I'm pretty sure. And yet, in a way, there's an aesthetic appeal to it. I just saw the updated GT homepage and apparently Genetic Trance is dead now? Damn. I liked this label. Oh well, i mean 15 years is really good in netlabel terms.
