1994 - Tesseract

This track took a long time to get where it is today. The form of the track heard here took about a year from the first build to completion, but a lot of the samples and ideas had been floating around since Hosey still called Mississippi home. A rough, rudimentary version of this song (which was always named "Tesseract") was played at the first show as a Turntable/Bass combo way back in May 2004 (Hi-Yo, Thirsty Hippo!). That version was very different, only containing two of the samples that would eventually find their way into the final mix. There's still an open-air cassette recording of that show floating around somewhere...

This track's origins go waaay back... to 2004 or so. It was the last song we started before leaving Hattiesburg, MS for the grayer pastures of NYC.

1994 - "Cowgirl Blues"

I'm a big fan of Modest Mouse's album Lonesome Crowded West and the song “Cowboy Dan”, which is sampled here (and easy to spot). An interesting thing about the album is that several of the guitar riffs and melodies show up multiple times in different contexts throughout the album, which I always thought was pretty neat. It's kind of like they were sampling themselves.

Hey kids, Project Jennifer is no more, and now this page belongs to Hosey. I'm too lazy to make a new profile and there's no sense in it anyway. I'm sure no one will notice.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM jennifer AGENT "v3k70r51gm4" OP ID ..:******** BEGIN: Yo, Trik here. Just posted two new songs, "Looking Thru A Candle" and "Suburbs of Cybertron". "Candle" is built around a drum loop I made from a home recording of Allen Jones from An End To October, who you should check out here on myspace. He's one sick drummer and I really appreciate having 'exclusives' so to speak on such a ferocious piece of percussion. "Cybertron" is built around a sample of the opening seconds of Transformers: The Movie, which makes it way cooler than any song that doesn't sample Transformers: The Movie. It also features the man, Matt Hughes playing bass and kicking yr face in the stomach. Both were written back in Hattiesburg. If you want to know about the older posts: "When Will Then Be Now?" is the newest thing I've completed, but it's missing the scratching, which might not really matter anyway. And Horatio Huphnagel's "Worker of the Week Award" infringes on, like, 5 different copyrights in less than 2 minutes. What a weirdo... END COMMUNICATION

[NOTE: This is the very first blog post I ever did in relation to Hosey. These tracks have all ended up on various albums. For convenience's sake, I've linked them to the most current high quality versions of the songs. The difference between these old versions and the current tracks is mostly a sound quality issue]
