about

This track has a long history to it. It dates back to pre 2005. Almost became a part of my "bête noire" CD. In fact some of this track ended up in the mix of the closing track "white". The form it's in here was sent to Jim Brenholts for an ambient music comp he was putting together. Jim has since passed away. He was an ambient music guru, if you will, in the Pittsburgh area, and in my early days, he would review my CDs and come out to shows. He was a very kind and passionate person. I was a little nervous sending him this track cause it deals with internet sex and online dating and is probably the only requiem track that could earn me an "explicit lyrics" sticker. I remember getting an email back form him saying "Did I hear the words 'cock ball torture' in there?" Then he went on to say that he thought it was great, so I was relieved. However I don't think it was exactly what he was looking for as far as ambient music goes, so it never made the cut. Later on it made it into an issue of the now defunct Canadian Horror/Exploitation CDROM zine "Meatsocket".

For this track I used various online dating profiles and did some random porn searches online and copy pasted sections of both into text to speech software. I thought it was funny that it failed to pronounce "bukkake" correctly as it phonetically said "bew-cake". I thought about altering it to say it correctly but thought it would be more creepy leaving it the way it was, making it even less human.
