about

Well, here it is. Pretty much every little thing I recorded for "Gunsmoke", which comprises a ton of creative, wacky, and spread-out sessions starting from the very end of 2015 to June 2016. There are still probably a couple of odd trinkets here and there that I have yet to disclose to the public, but otherwise this is about as comprehensive of an archival release as you can get.

Also included are numerous alternate mixes and takes of the various "Gunsmoke" tracks, which might allow a perceptive listener to get a closer look at my creative process β€” something that's also assisted by the various unused songs and ideas.

I'm charging a bit more for this release than my others, but this is 45 songs long and totals to god knows how many minutes of music and other disgusting sounds. If you're a big enough fan of "Gunsmoke", surely you can spare the money! Besides, a box set-type release of this kind can go for a lot more from other bands and artists; hundreds of dollars, they seem to hover around. Certainly 10% of that is a humble enough asking price, no?

I've declined to include the recent remix of this album with this release for a couple of reasons β€” namely, that it's more of an reinterpreting of the album and not the definitive creative statement of "Gunsmoke". Indeed, I sacrificed basically every sample from that release so I could skirt through any potential copyright hazards when throwing it up onto streaming. Since this is a Bandcamp exclusive release for the foreseeable future, you can enjoy a remastered version of the original "Gunsmoke" mix with all of its many samples and faults. Remastered means that it's no longer so loud that it'll blow your ears off, so that's something to look forward to as well!

And that concludes my foreword. Please enjoy this release!
