the choir should be relatively quick to render and mix, but it actually existed in two formats, both written in 2001. one is entirely voice and the other splits the vocal parts into different instruments. both versions are going to end up uploaded in some way or other to the following places, but i'm not sure how, yet.
1) midi version to thru

2) updated version to jjjjjjjjjjjjj. this will complete the record.

3) multiple versions to the choir single, as with other singles for the period:

so, inri031-034 will be up in a day or two, and i'll jump to inri035 (which will take a bit longer) from there.

yeah, no. this is a rabit song. it's not that i can't get the bass out (i'm half done), it's more that i don't really want to anymore....
it was really orchestrated very strongly around the vocals. the reason i wanted to deconstruct it is that i consider the synth build to be one of my more surreal moments and wanted it to have it's own space on the second side of the double i'm working on, but separating all that noise out from the guide vocal is just going to leave a sloppy mess. i like sloppy messes and everything, but this isn't the best sloppy mess by itself - because it was written around the vocals. sometimes, you can't really separate a thing into parts. in this case, it would be separating an effect from a cause.
the record isn't really about sloppy messes, either, it's more about structured writing. as a contrast? it's not good enough, without the vocals to drag it along. and the vocals do drag it along, that's the best way to understand it - through a haze of mud and filth. like linus pulling his blankie through an unkempt garden....
further, there is a structural guitar part that i added in februray, 2001 and is not in any inri029 version but would need to be in a final instrumental mix. without the vocals, that guitar part becomes the structural focus, and it's simply too repetitive to become the main motif of the song.
so, that's done. the final version will for sure be on the rabit demo, and something or other will appear on the clarity single. there will also be a live, acoustic mix of it that i'll probably redo from scratch in the next few months.
clarity, however, will appear as an instrumental single and will be my focus after the choir, which is what i'm moving to for the rest of the day. clarity is a different story altogether. it's something i wrote the core of before rabit started jamming with the intent of it being the opening of "trinri" and that sean really had minimal influence into. i never really got the impression that sean was that impressed by the tune, but i consider it to be one of my more substantial pieces. it became rabit sort of by accident; it never really was, though, and it needs it's own space. the vocal version is not going to be incinerated - it will appear on the rabit demo - but it's going to be as an instrumental piece that i will be presenting it, moving forward.
so, yeah.
1) choir. (oct-nov, 2001). inri031.
(inri032 released - nov 11)
2) clarity (nov, 2001.). for inri035, jjjjjjjjjjjjjj^2.
move date: dec 1, 2001. inri033 complete.
3) the wave (dec-jan, 2001/2002). inri034.
4) #9 (dec-jan, 2001/2002). for inri035.
5) clarity (completed), me myself (completed), other rabit demos (jan-may, 2002). inri035-37.
6) trepanation (may-july, 2002). inri038.
7) untitled, atoms (july-aug, 2002). not yet clear.
life changed quite a bit in aug/sept, 2002. i think i'm going to focus on getting to that point. it's mostly unfinished demos over the fall of 2002, with the first real trivial group release in early 2003.

i've figured out the way i'd like to suggest (forcefully.) my cult organizes itself.
the basic mystery of the cult needs to be my musical releases. only the listener doth familiar with the music of deathtokoalas shalt truly understand the words of deathtokoalas. so, the way the cult needs to work is to begin in my discography and work it's way forward. the amount of time required to jump to the next level in the cult (i.e. buy the next record in sequence) will vary, but will roughly be about once per week. suggested donations are published on the level instruction pages. the maximum level in the cult is reached when all of the music is purchased.
this is the only way to truly discover my greatness.
there should also be spontaneously organized discussion groups in a central, easily accessible location so that people can get together and discuss how the level they're going through is changing their lives and whether they're ready to move to the next.
i, deathtokoalas, am on the same journey as all of you in my path to discovering myself. i'm just a few steps ahead of you. the music is the truth, the way and the light! all who wish to be righteous must understand it!
