Project: Killd By
Status: Unreleased — draft/early version
File date: 2015-08-25 (.asd session references)
Archive location: _Documentation/Music/KB/killd by/Court Clothes vol. 1
Tracks: 2 (referenced via .asd Ableton session files; no audio exports)
Confidence: medium — tracks are referenced but not confirmed as completed audio
An earlier draft or precursor to the released Court Clothes album. The folder contains two Ableton session reference files (.asd), no completed audio exports:
i _ gen zebra.aif.asd— session reference for a track called “gen zebra” (or “Generation Zebra”)ii_ court clothes.aif.asd— session reference for the title track “court clothes”
The Roman numeral track numbering (i, ii) is unusual in Colin’s catalog — suggesting this version had a more formal, structured tracklist than the working filenames used in other projects. The track titled gen zebra connects to Generation Zebra (a known killd by Bandcamp release), implying that the Court Clothes vol. 1 concept may have incorporated material that was later separated into its own release.
The “vol. 1” designation implies a planned series that either continued (resulting in the released Court Clothes album) or was abandoned and reconceived.
Archive Notes
- Only .asd files present — Ableton session references that point to .aif audio files, which either weren’t preserved in this folder or were moved
- The .asd files are from August 2015; the released Court Clothes album is from 2016
- “gen zebra” / “Generation Zebra” appearing in the Court Clothes vol. 1 folder suggests these concepts were once bundled together before being split
- Confidence medium: session references confirm track intent but not completion
Research Gaps
- Do the .aif files referenced by these .asd files exist elsewhere in the archive?
- Is “i _ gen zebra” a precursor to the released Generation Zebra tracks, or a different composition with the same name?
- Was there ever a Court Clothes vol. 2?
