8/20/17 R&D #6 is now called “Filthy Stinkin’ Boids”.

I mixed it all down to audio stems, did some post production tweaks, and I think it’s ready for prime-time.

Listening back to it now. No idea what I’m going to tackle next.

In the meantime, organization:

R&D:

#1 - Dark, melodic guitar improvisation
#2 - Melodic, looping fretless guitar improvisation
#3 - atonal looping fretless guitar improvisation
#4 - abstract guitar & electronish background
#5 - riffy, melodic guitar & electronics (I need a name)
#6 - atonal guitar noise & techno (Filthy Stinkin’ Boids)

Pile:

Y CAN NOT - Guitar Instrumental; bluesy but also Frippish
Ganymede - Vocal song; guitary & technoish
Halfway - Chord progression plus resampled guitar. Needs work, not sure what this will be in the end
I Dunno - Long Metal song. Needs a lot of work
I Zebra - Pretty much a guitar instrumental. In my head it’s some kind of dark goth jam, but that’s not at all what’s been recorded
Jester - A jazzy solo guitar piece. Kinda Frisellish. Still need to work out the final form before moving on
John Doe - Guitar & electronics. Kind of a mess at the moment
Permeable - A noisy thing with black metal overtones. Fairy Complete.
The Kgnarl - Guitar instrumental; weird & disjointed
The Want Machine - Vocal song; proggy rock/metal
Unbalanced - very long guitar improv & MIDI + Electronics. Currently 20 minutes long, and I’d like to get it 6.
Wired - electronic soundscape
Substantiate - another dark guitary black metal dark gothy thing

• (done) -
  Shacklebones - guitar techno
  Search For The One - guitar techno
  Seppuku - guitar techno/soundscape
  Cyclone - ugly soundscape with pseudo-jazz and electronics. Reminds me of Neurotica without the Adrien Belew bits.
  Clouds - ambient guitarscape

So, turning it around & grouping with like things:

Metallish:

I Dunno
I Zebra
Permeable
The Kgnarl
The Want Machine

Ambient:

Halfway
Substantiate
Seppuku
Cyclone
Clouds

Electronic:

R&D #5
Filthy Stinkin’ Boids
Unbalanced
Wired
Shacklebones
Search For The One
Seppuku
Cyclone

####Guitary/Songy
Y CAN NOT
Jester
John Doe
The Want Machine

I don’t know that these are strict delineations, like each of these is an album in progress, but it’s food for thought.

Or just for the heck of it, in order of done-nes:

Done:

Shacklebones
Search For The One
Seppuku
Cyclone
Clouds

Pretty Sure it’s Done:

Filthy Stinkin’ Boids
Y CAN NOT
R&D #5
Permeable

Largely done, needs words/editing/final recording:

Ganymede
The Want Machine
Wired
Unbalanced

…and the rest.

None of this includes Triptych, the thing that is supposed to be the primary thing I’m working on right now!
