Another track excavated from the mid-period of the irr. app. (ext.) fossil record. The original purpose of this piece was to serve as the soundtrack for a 20-minute long theatrical performance (back in the day when I contemplated doing such things), the idea being that the sound would build very slowly in density and volume for 15 minutes until it ultimately reached a deafening peak that would completely drown out the actors' dialogue. This 5-minute section was intended for that finale 'overload'.
It was also my intention to attempt to create my own version of the 'audio saturation' achieved with some of the harsher tracks on early Organum releases -- but predictably fell well short of that standard, limited as I was at the time by the use of rudimentary sample loops, a primitive mixing set-up, and underdeveloped skills.
Assembled and mixed at the De Anza Electronic Music Studio, Cupertino, CA circa 1992. Digitally scrubbed at Rock Creek Tributary, Hillsboro, OR in March 2011.
Official download resource for the titillating & inscrutable At Jennie Richie. Well worth investigating for anyone with a pair of ears and one or more lungs. irr. app. (ext.)

Like eating mushrooms, Dream Memory puts the fun in fungus and the err in ergot. When SS starts introducing the band halfway into Untitled 8 you suddenly remember you're listening to a live recording. Top notch NWW. I have to mention that my FLAC download had two seconds of silence at the end of each track! This kept it from segueing seamlessly and sounding like the first time you ever burned a CDR. I was able to correct this, but the same anomally occurs on the ? download as well. Dan Otto / Don Henson
