Thanks for the musical trip. Really liking PART I (IRL), which as I said reminded me of the early 90s electronic era with the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis and some Artificial Intelligence/early Warp records sounds. Really well done!
Always love the diversity in your tunes, or should I call them soundscapes?
Its really nice to find out you're on someone you love's EP by suprise. Jared, I love you so much. I hope you have intricate information-overloaded dreams about our unborn would-be-genius internet-child.
The music overal is quite haunting in a very spectaculair way!
The order of the story is particularly intense to me. Almost like a diary of personal/musical/sexual awakening in an age where feelings of lonelyness can be ever-present even when being (unescapably) surrounded by online "friends". Thats how I'd interpret it anyway.
The extra art is AMAZING and I immediatly changed my desktop with the personal maze one, after a year of using a solid black background. I might be just a weird fanboy though.
Bravo kinesthetiac and Godspeed in future audio-visual endeavors! I can see myself playing this traveling for months to come.
if each part of Cheese Stank had an emoticon it would be like this:
PART I (、ン、)
PART II T_T
PART III =o)
ALSO here's a press release from tumblr dot com on the motivation behind this release:
"Cheese Stank was my first conceptual release really
it addresses the use of lo-fi (emulated with software) in music , the abstract concepts related to being a furry, the internet, the cold/detached emotional journey of having friends on the internet, IDM becoming an artifact, and feeling nostalgic and sentimental about very recent things like internet forums/funny videos/skype calls/youtube
it’s also a lot about me and my feelings and experiences, significantly more than my other releases which usually aren’t about anything just music"
I listened to this again. I like it even more on a second listen. This is some awesome stuff! I'm putting this on my phone right now so I can listen to it wherever.
