about

From the original CD liner notes in 2001:

This CD is the result of an entire year of daily recording. Each day, no matter where I was, I would record 10 seconds of something, whether it was a mini-composition put together at home or church bell ringing in in Madison, WI.

Early on, I thought it would be a breeze. I was really rolling along for about a month or so, but then things started getting tricky. I would be out playing shows with only a handheld to capture sound with for sometimes weeks at a time, and then I'd have to come home and compile it all. I began to realize that the ultimate editing and mixing of this collage of sound was going to be a daunting and confusing task.

And it has been.

I've spent over a month piecing things together to create a natural flow, mixing and generally cleaning up and struggling with differing levels and crazy sound source anomalies. Nothing is out of order. Everything is here as it was added daily. However, I've edited things together to make songs and movements that are hopefully a bit more approachable than one huge slab of nonsense might have been. Some pieces were recorded with this in mind, and those actually are pretty successful at having a natural sound. I actually should have called this One Huge Slab Of Nonsense. Lovely. Consider it the alternate title.

So here it is. Well over one year of my life spent recording, making and finding music. All documented here. A musical and sometimes decidedly non-musical diary of my 2000. I hope you enjoy the listening experience.

*Note: The physical CD has a better flow from track-to-track than the individual files ever will. Detailed liner notes about all the sound sources as well. Pick one up cheap here.

released September 11, 2020

Recorded all over the place every day of the year 2000.

Edited, mixed and mastered at The (old) Subversive Workshop Blue Room during January of 2001.

Art & design by Jenkins & McLeod

All instruments manipulated and recording devices controlled by Jeff McLeod. Sound sources are varied (liner notes in the physical CD detail most everything, track-by-track . . . pick one up here!) and were obtained and used with permission (when permission was necessary). Track 19 would never have happened without the musical brilliance of Jeff Rackley. Thanks, man.

Physical CDs available here!
