This is the printable cover for Halfdosin.
Since I use it to make labels, it's tailored to my printer and browser (IE7) settings. It might not look or print as nicely on your PC.
I suggest you try a print preview and/or low-ink draft print before trying to print actual labels.
Make sure you configure your browser to print backgrounds, or the images won't print.
Set your left/right printer margins to 0.75 and your top/bottom margins to 0.50.
The previous album (Sixawon) didn't have any rules. It ended up sounding very familiar, like I was treading water, no longer pushing myself or progressing.
So, for Halfdosin, I decided to have a strict rule which would force me to be ingenuitive. I chose one that related to the album title: I could only use half of the Triton's tracks, so 8 instead of 16. My hope was that this would compel me to carefully plan out parts instead of just "winging it". Well, that was the idea.
The reality was that any extra deliberation was offset by frustration. I kept trying to create my usual type of music, but then the 8 track limit would force me to "water down" my ideas and/or cram them together and then edit out the conflicts. It was annoying and tedious, no fun at all. I never once felt thankful for only having to deal with 8 tracks.
Fortunately, though, my life was full of epic jogs and bike rides, providing inspiration. Most of the songs refer to exercise or food. The final song is a gift for my Dad on his birthday. :)
