Threads

The song idea originally arose from repeated experience of lost conversation threads on computer message boards on Compuserve, back before most people (including myself) had heard of a WWW.
This is my first published MP3. I could've waited until I had a decent recording. But I didn't. This recording began as an audiocassette tape recording made in March of 2001. When transferring the tape to computer, I didn't notice that the cassette's variable-speed knob was high, so the whole recording was a little helium-ish. After filtering out the hiss, I lowered the pitch to (almost) simulate what my voice is supposed to sound like. Audio wizardry done with Cool Edit 96 (long since gobbled up by Adobe). WAV file encoded into MP3 with CDEX.

Halloween Party

Created for a 1981 Hallowe'en party. Original address and phone numbers removed, very little other touch-up.
Original artwork scanned @100dpi, panelized and web-published, just twenty years later.

As presented on this page, the poster is a series of panels which SHOULD fit together as a single image, if your screen is wide enough. If not, or in printed form, it may display unpredictably.
