Yeah this is one of few bright bits of news this week. Can't wait for the next album

Can't wait! I was the sound recordist for HBO's Suited - loved that you came onboard for it and the score was great. Excited to catch some of these other films you did.

Man, that was such a weird project, Suited. You know I scored the entire film based on a slow-core temp score? The temp score was like... Low and Loscil and stuff. Got the whole thing approved by the director? That score was REALLY beautiful. Then, on the last day of recording that score (which was also the next-to-last project recorded at Magic Shop in NYC before it closed-- that's where Bowie made The Next Day and Black Star), the super-famous producer of that film, god bless her, called the director with her feedback on the temp score: "why does this sound like a score for a documentary about cancer survivors? I want it to sound fun! like Arcade Fire! or like.. fun. (the band)" I ended up having to redo the entire score as indie pap (I say this with affection), using pretty much entirely in-the-box Logic instruments-- I had already spent the budget on the recording sessions and had no other choice. Def my worst score, ha! Good doc though.

Amazing. I'm glad to hear the director approved, he and I were close before and thru shooting. We were, together, invited to one of the subjects' bachelor parties, a night of laser tag with his family. Any chance the original will ever see the light of day?

Oooh that's amazing! All the subjects seemed really cool, I wanted to hang out with the cellist especially. And no to the original score appearing at any time... there was one cue that had a melody I liked so much that I used it for a new song, but aside from that, it's on the rocks.

Remasters not on Apple Music?
― Maria Edgelord (cryptosicko), Friday, 17 April 2020 19:37 (four years ago) link
With reissues (as opposed to new releases) they're kind of lower priority and so every DSP does their own thing. They're not up on Tidal yet either (my DSP of choice). I'm not even posting on socials about anything until everything is live
― we have no stan but to choice (flamboyant goon tie included), Friday, 17 April 2020 19:58 (four years ago) link
Both reissues are great, new life to familiar music.
I have no idea what remastering is from a technical perspective but I *can* say the songs hit different (in a great way).
― unashamed and trash (Unctious), Monday, 20 April 2020 14:29 (four years ago) link
They're on Apple Music now. Listening to Has a Good Home and I can definitely here more clarity on (for example) "Furniture" and "The CN Tower Belongs To the Dead," and I'm not the type to typically notice such things unless the upgrading is super dramatic.

man, it's been forever since i listened to "he poos clouds" i remember it being mailed to me and thinking it was a TERRIBLE name and then i fell in love with the albumstill feeling the same 15 years later reallyl!

Thought Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project was excellent, film and soundtrack both. I've never felt better about my life as a hoarder.
