the sounds were created in Wire, a program using Jsyn written by Phil Burk, which is a java-based synthesis engine. i created the scores in JMSLscore (a java-based scoring program by Nick Didkovsky). this allowed me to access sounds i created from scratch, but organize them with a traditional musical staff.
and if anyone cares: the beginning of \"Sicks\" was supposed to be a shout out to old Swans, not \"We Will Rock You.\" although hey, \"We Will Rock You\" is actually a pretty weird song.
