Miner49er by Trash Juice

This tune and its cover photo geographically refers to a moment in California history, the Gold Rush and directly refers to a lyric in the American Western folk ballade, "Oh My Darling, Clementine" comparing the #bitcoin rush to 1849 California.

In a 32 bar ABAB song form composed and recorded on February 25, 2018, here Trash Juice exercises some constraint from its usual 'fat mix', minimizing to a total of five albeit rather full-spectrum tracks themselves.

Trash Juice laid the final two tracks with the intention of bringing the tune into the 21st Century which brought a strong preference for electronica into popularity, by including percussive and sweeping digital and analog synthesizer floating, dynamically panning, while mostly low in the mix. The digital percussive loop 'clack and ring' is made with a Commodore 64, 6581 Sound Interface Device based synthesizer, the 'SIDnth' and the sweeping analog is performed on the probed-ribbon strip of the PAiA Gnome synthesizer.

Some may infer from the cover image comprising a composite of a mining excavation with a processed silicon wafer image overlay, that perhaps 'ASIC mining' is the equivalent of mining operation companies compared to individuals 'panning for gold' using GPU hashing algorithms.

The fact that the silicon die on the wafer may appear as upside-down American flags is purely coincidental, and not intentionally meant to represent what effects cryptocurrency may cost the petrodollar in terms of geopoltical hegemony. Note that history bore out that more individuals made their wealth selling 'picks and shovels' than individuals made panning for gold, i.e. as with all life decisions, Caveat Emptor.
