From Philadelphia, in spring 2001, Kerry d’Noit quietly mailed a parcel to Liam d’Noit in Brooklyn. In addition to a small Peruvian doll wearing a yellow knit cap and a $100 bill play money cape, the package included a MiniDisc entitled Pecan Yo!, which contained thirty-three audio tracks composed, recorded, and mixed by Kerry. Among these were twenty completed Encodings for inclusion on Cris Tobal’s Encodings, Vol. 1 (forthcoming) and twelve sketches, of various lengths and states of completion, for Liam to build upon in the creation of additional songs and larger sound pieces. Track 31, labeled on the track list as “? Happy – Was For Chris Song (Yes I Did),” was an instrumental song composed, programmed, recorded, and mixed by Kerry d’Noit. The previously unavailable version included here, entitled “Happy (Instrumental Remix),” was extended and remixed by Liam d’Noit to accommodate lyrics he wrote for a yet to be competed final version of the song.
