‘Cognitive Disorder #1’ was/is my favourite of the selections on this album; I suppose that, by putting it first, I was hoping it would somehow offset the shortcomings of many of the tracks that follow. The track was mostly built from direct-to-4-track or archived environmental & broadcast recordings, with only a few subtle extracts from the sampler pieces. Several of the sources used for this one fit in with my conception at the time of working with sounds that had some personal context, rather than just being neutral audio content. This doesn’t make the material any more interesting for other listeners, but it does make it a lot more relevant to me by integrating particular places & times from my life into the pieces, thereby turning them into a kind of impressionistic audio diary (which has increasing resonance for me as the passing time accumulates).
