The name was kind of stupid/silly but it was a mesh-up of words representing an era after I left my band and quit drinking. The music came from this high school band noose I wrote the guitar parts for and decided to at least do something with, so I bought and learned ACID music software in 2000, then owned by Sonic Foundry.
The originals were either heavy and in some cases even more somber or sad to begin with, but usually faster.The only existing recordings in analog form from 1996-1999 in its entirety from the band's full span were on cassette tape recorded with an old answering machine at the drummer's house. It was a six-instrumental mystery tape that went missing for a couple years and was found at a friend's house who must have loved it enough to take our only copy. I was since able to recover the songs without words and make MP3s later with an aux cable. There have, since these 2001 recordings, been alternates and interludes added, as well as outtakes, extensions, remixes and extra parts, and snippets of even older stuff. I tried to keep everything as close to its original form as possible but making it more listenable. The two main outtakes due to minimal quality that didn't fit and were made for a different rap group and the other for a soundtrack that never was used, are "Entity" and "Whiplash." The Intro (Sweet Sombriety), Cornua, The Nihil, Wasps, and Sweet Eulogy were made in 2021 when this was finally put on bandcamp. "Sycamore" was a green day-esque tune I made in 1993 when I was a preteen that I finally re-recorded from practice tape to a computer in 2021. I even added a snippet of another untitled tune I was ust messing around and making while recording from that same tape. I just called the snippet "1993" and put it at the end of "Sycamore." The main tracks to this are: "Angel With Horns," "Anti," "Porcupine," "Golden," "Asphyxiating," "Succubus," and the now-extended further "Distant Glow." The original stripped lyrics were to a CD called "Connect The Dots." This was the first half of, with oddly more attempted "leaving depression" music where I attempted to "fight back" with dark lyrics leading to a happier outcome, hence the title "Connect The Dots." Each song was a different depressing subject and one could say this was pre-emo emo. It had a good ending though. This time the titles really don't. The second portion of that CD is what is now called... The Noise Vaults No. 2 "Maladaptive Humanoid." |
