Label: Rainbow Bridge

Packaging: This release comes in a hand-made protective envelope (not pictured). Inside, a smaller envelope, meant to be the actual release, while the protective envelope is intended to be what a sleeve would be for a record. The inside envelope is embellished with one 3D sticker, a warning sticker, and a hand-stamped embellishment with the title of the release on the front. Inside is a lot of art, including sewn fabric and paper, a stencil-painted CDr sleeve, and a red info sheet with track listing and credits in a typewriter/xerox-art style. "Rendering #1" limited to strictly 15.

Info about the release: Track 1 is a short sound-collage intro featuring warped field recordings of abstract backpack acoustic guitar performance and an inkjet printer. Track 2 is the "main" track, representing the "Journey To 0.004" concept. It is a piece consisting of lengthy, focused and hypnotic sound collage made with home-made tape loops, free-form vocals, guitar, DIY electronics, electro-acoustic instruments and field recordings. It will be featured in a remastered form on the next Rendering, a c120 cassette, which will feature selected previously released material by Justin Marc Lloyd/JML/Pregnant Spore. Track 3 is a previously unreleased composition from the same sessions that birthed the "Comorbities" piece. Track 4 is the raw, live vocal source (consisting of heavily processed free-form vocals about basic Sociology) that was remixed and appears on Breakdancing Ronald Reagan, Pregnant Spore - Are Rock-Hard And Bodacious. Track 5 is a short piece recorded for a floppy disk release on Floppy Kick in a heavily bit-reduced version. Finally, track 6 is the first demo song ever recorded by neo-folk project Thief.
