B - sides from the Mk 1.5 2005-2007 mash up style sessions that yielded ((music for earphones)) [2006] and Weekend Warrior [2007]. From the SoundCloud copy: [These tunes] came about after a brief sojourn as Hypothetical Sofa making clumsy stabs at low slung trippy sample mash up trip hop. Very diegetic and cartoony even, fiercely intimate and idiosyncratic - but sofa was a hot mess and by the end of 2005 something - I don't remember what - made me tighten the screws. Starting 2006 a very 18 year old Skwirl (then Mr. Squirrel) was making these mad mashes ripping samples from household/self acquired cds with rudimentary audio editing software and chucking that wildly at a 16 track virtual sequencer that required live performance (no offline or linear arrangement possible) and once a good take had tumbled out then off on a dash over to my stepdad's Sony Vio, which for some reason had Sound Forge on it, to do crazy effects and mental layers of things - that then had to travel via zip disk back to my room...all to make these trippy, dense, kaleidoscopic, intimate, bombastic, experimental, and dare I say dope sample collage, mega mash up style big beat meets downtempo meets trip hoppy tunes from literally hundreds upon hundreds of samples of all sorts of things. To be fair a lot my memory of making music at that time was excitedly running down the hallway with a zip disk or something of the like so i could put the thing from one thing into another thing to do the thing to then take back to the first thing and make it do that thing. I remember being overwhelmed when I got Logic that I didn't have to do that anymore and that I could arrange things on an offline linear path and didn't have to make half dozen print mix performances of the tunes. Rough around the edges but still have some charm. _________________ all tracks assembled, arranged and recorded by Mr. Squirrel Mastered in 2024 by Jacob Korn @ Tailout in Dresden.
