Flat was made in 2019 and released on the 'SRP_LP' album.

The original was a favorite of mine, but it had an issue with massive distortion and an unmanageable wall of sound that drowned out the track.

On this cleanup, I had to take the audio recorded from an Ensoniq MR76 that was not the best recording, and make it better usable without it doing its random whale sounds that drowned everything out.

There is still a lot of Distortion that at my expertise, I can't get off the track, but gain staging and using a different Compressor/Limiter did a significant amount of improvements.

Also, NI Driver is a horrible and unpredictable overdrive.

One Last Fadeout was the last song written by Self Reflecting Pattern. Surprisingly, in my typical drunkenness during 2022, I had not saved the original correctly. This was made to be as close a recreation of the song, there are some leveling issues that existed in the original that are just not possible to remove.

There are two 'Sickly' songs.
This was released on the 'Quarantine Sessions' which were made around march of 2020. Covid was a weird time, and also a muse, as I was kept indoors with nothing but video games, youtube, doom news, and a table full of recording and music making tools. I chose the table.

I don't remember how I made any of this album, so thats about all I can say about that. Maybe someday some repressed memories during covid time will jog my memory.

This really sucked to make...
Mouse Bite was one of the first Self Reflecting Pattern songs on the first SRP_EP album. The original was made almost all on an accident. Because of that I had done a lot of things wrong when originally mixing it. 

The vocal and most of the melody were sampled from a song called 'Mouse Bite', by the group Creeping Jenny. It started as just a fuck around song but ended up being pretty interesting. The mixdown never sounded good in my opinion, so on this Refraxured project I decided to recreate the song from scratch.

I learned that without the weird mix techniques I used in the original 2017 version, the song is very plain. It also was impossible to salvage a lot of the original, as I had used the horrible VST known as Izotope Iris. If you have never used this software, imagine a CPU intensive sampler with an overblown filter and nothing else. The original patches used just refused to load correctly, so almost 30% of the original could not be salvaged. 

I almost considered not releasing this on Soundcloud, but decided even kinda fucked up compositions are still mine to show.

Purified was a track off of SRP_EP3.
It was one of my favorites on the album, the problem was that it was overly distorted. This was caused by a bass that I could not hear the overbearing distortion on it during the creation, Since I was living in an apartment at the time, all mixing and mastering was done with berhdynamics headphones, having monitors now made a big difference.

An Interesting Man | A Boring Sir

Gen7rOter was a track off of SRP_EP2. Another favorite of mine. For the most part the original was fine, with the exception of some shareware plugin I got from computer music magazine which as far as I could tell, did close to nothing.

SRP_EP2 was an interesting to make, but also watch album. The previous release 'An Anamoly, a Glitch & a Squirrel' brought a mass influx of SC followers when Assemble originally released, so in that hype I was really keeping EP2 to my chest and trying not to release too much too early.

Jan 1st came, which is when I would normally release my stuff, and EP2 released to nothing. It was a good learning experience, especially for what to expect with a service like SC. The only ones who liked, commented, reposted, or just naturally engaged with, are folks I still support to this day. 

As for the song, This was when I was really messing around with Autechre style rhythms, yet forever stuck in my rigid ways. I kept this song simple, even if it might not sound like it. The flute sound I'm pretty sure was from a free kontakt instrument .

Human Parts & Service - Fleeting (Refraxured Mix)

This is technically the first SRP song. in 2008 SRP was mostly just doing test songs for AI and algorithmic software MIDIotic Systems were developing, it wasn't until 2017 where SRP was making original music outside of just experimental gear tests.

Jonasfrax - Orographic
Made for Friendly Music Jam 3 - Break The Rules
https://itch.io/jam/friendly-music-jam-3

For the Friendly Music Jam 3, I tried to capture the feel of the theme image, which evoked a 'Boards of Canada' style to work with. This inspired a warm, subdued chord progression that evolves throughout the piece.

To avoid the limitations of a purely ambient track within the "break the rules" theme, I approached several differing elements. The percussion is inspired by Autechre's Amber. Drums are on a quarter swing, and evolve throughout the track. 

Harmonic shifts and key changes occur throughout the song. While certain sections repeat, the accompanying instrumentation evolves.

WHAT ARE THESE REFRAXURED MIXES?
The Refraxured project is remixes, remasters, recreations and re-dos of various songs throughout my time as a producer. It covers my various projects such as SRP, HPS, HotSauce the Squirrel, Scareware and more. It is slated for release early 2025, but I'm uploading progress here periodically.
