recorded by jamie savage at chem19 (hamilton, scotland) on 19. october 2010. bowed 'ukuleles were recorded added afterwards, as is their custom. otherwise recorded live as a cacophonous series of boolean decisions using a variety of finely aged european microphones. closing material more borrowed than inspired from john adams' shaker loops, I: shaking and trembling without any thought of permissions.

original liner notes
[drums : ryan rapsys | recording : kip rainey]. the kids are not ready was recorded over several nights during the second month of the second year of the new apocalypse. for waffles one amp was set in the washer another in the dryer and an oh-so-plaintive song ensued. for ryans song mister rapsys played while listening and listened while playing - to maintain maximum freshness - to different parts of the same long uke dribble. some baritone ukes and the beloved doctor rhythm were added (to differing parts) because they were there. many thanks : kip kristin ryan noah st. pokie greg chad hothouse and the divine miss m.

post hoc notes
[soprano 'ukulele, ruan or liuqin] / [add banjo-uke]. having considered itself something of a trumpet player, though without much of a proper embouchure, williwaw tried out for the university jazz band upon arriving at Ye Olde College for scholastic pursuits (truth be told: williwaw came without pursuit, hence the eventual floundering of its scholastic achievements in lieu of said pursuits). the try-out consisted of a blur of nerves and awkward silences, and the chart Pent-up House by Sonny Rollins. williwaw tried a novel concept - practice - but it only cemented the distance between considering oneself a trumpet player and being a trumpet player. and the tune stayed in the poor, dejected sod's head for days, months and years afterward. so here it is, transposed for uke and sandwiched with the perennial favorite, St. James Infirmary.

post hoc notes
these remixes/reduxes/rerunzas were done during a particular slow day at the hearing institute using the extinct waveform editor, CoolEdit 2000. These are part of an ongoing refriggery project, our very lives are being compressed, which started with some general temporal restructuring of some field recordings of las vegas casinos - the vegasmasses project. it then grew when attempts to boost the sound of the first williwaw ensemble show went horribly awry. if interested in any part of the our very lives are being compressed project, please contact your local donkeyscratch industries representative (info at this domain name).
