initially my final project for my only electronics class (taught by man among men, Jack Stamps), the track soon began a life of its own after that class that was very short and mostly conceptual.
it changed very little, but ended up being the moment when I realized my vocals split between autobiography desperately groping for the freedom of anonymity (hence the veil of art/rhythm/sampledelicized context).
the words that ptr does not recite come from FDR's monuental national address in 1940, when the states was still suffering from its depression and had yet to commit to combat, reenergizing the entire economy.
The words that ptr recites comes from Kinbote's poem "Pale Fire", mostly canto I and II. Yeah, it's totally that I'm lazy and haven't read through the entire book, yet.
the final moment is haiku #99. check out
haharadical.wordpress.com for a list of all the haikus ptr has written, and saved.
ptr thanks Trinity for the usage of their music room in the production of this composition [that everyone in the music department heard as a "kind of standard hip hop beat with really interesting rhythms", according to one professor.
