New sounds: The parts we felt but did not notice right away
I’ve been trying a few things with synthesizer software on my iPad. This edited piece is the best result so far:

Sureru
The soundtrack of my 2005 experiment with a digital camera, video feedback, and digital editing. I gave away DVD-R copies of the video as xmas presents in 2005; I remastered the audio, and also created a new mix, in April 2014.

Compilation tracks, 1996–1997
Three pieces released on compilations in 1996 and 1997; I reissued them as separate pieces in 2014.
‘Slip mode’ is an edited recording of me abusing a turntable I rescued from the dumpster of the apartment where I was living at the time. It originally appeared on a compilation cassette of music by folks subscribing to the Sylvian mailing list (back when internet mailing lists were a thing).
‘Gotanda-eki/Shibuya-eki/Ekimae’ was my contribution to the Wood Block Compilation double cassette released by Sound Probe Recordings.
‘Opacity grid’ was my contribution to Resurgence, a double-CD compilation of electronic artists from Oregon and Washington. I had trouble coming up with something new, so I dubbed ‘Refraction grid’ to a 4-track cassette, and used that as the basic for this new piece.

Stone Temple Plots
A 1996 cassette release, edited down to EP length and remastered in 2014.
When David Bowie released his 1977 album Low, Nick Lowe responded by releasing an EP called Bowi. When the Stone Temple Pilots released their 1996 album Tiny Music, I responded with this.

Live Anthology 1996–1997 Revisited
A 2014 reissue of a 2011 digital compilation that comprised two live cassette releases (one from 1996, one from 1997), both of which were recorded at the late, great Anomalous Records shop and performance space in Seattle’s Capitol Hill.

Veiled Faces, Moving Shadows
Originally released on cassette in March 1996, then remastered and reissued in 2014. The opening piece, ‘Refraction grid’, also appeared as the opening track on the Nocturne Concrète compilation CD.

Sublimation
Originally released in February 1996, I almost released a 10th Anniversary edition in 2006 before instead offering the tracks as digital downloads on the now-defunct social-media site Multiply. Remastered and reissued 2014.
