i tend to read sandman each xmas, theres a depth to it where i can always reflect on the year in a different way. reading about a dream of a meal of 50 courses and over 200 dishes i thought that was a nice synchronicity: applying it to weekly fragments and over 200 seconds

i searched for all the flac files ive done from 2016 - this was over 800 but doesnt represent stuff ive saved as mp3 wav ogg etc i've been prolific and that's the main thing i wanted to get across. i work alot with flow and improv at all levels of music making and how meaning emerges over the course of many pieces. so it made sense to 'choose' random pieces and random sections.

i set to record in audacity and pulled everything from january into vlc and had it on shuffle playing ~4 seconds of 4 random tracks. then the same with feb, march etc. truncated silence. pulled into audition for a bit of mastering. the nature of this process meant it was nigh on impossible to note the track names.

one of the tracks at the start is the audio journal from 2015 which is a nice reiteration. there's some collabs in here too from WÜST scott lawlor and audio obscura
ive had the pleasure of working with some great artists this year.
