about

In 2009, during my last semester of college, I was preparing to release an album -- what would be my first -- when my computer gave out, and I permanently lost most of the files which were on it. The stuff that I did retain I'd uploaded elsewhere beforehand. Judging by the extant files' metadata, I was intending to entitle the album Tunnels.

Years later, I've decided to release most of what likely would have been on that album, in addition to several unfinished but musically similar tracks -- warts and all. This is naive, low fidelity music pushing against the easily-found limits of a dated and basic music program with little idea of what constitutes production (look out for some clipping!). But it is dear to me anyway for what it represents from that time in my life, including a period of interest in drone and noise music.

The one exception, as to the apparent date of completion, is the opening track here, which seems to have been finished in 2011. The rest were started and/or completed in 2008 or 2009.

Super Rite of Spring
by Shnabubula

supported by 4 fans who also own “Unfinished Album (2008-2009)”

This album is now my preferred method of listening to "The Rite of Spring". This arrangement feels simultaneously faithful to the original and like something new entirely, going above and beyond with its orchestration and added embellishments. Furthermore, the retro video game soundfonts are paired impeccably with each section, and the love for both shines clearly. monkeylordz
