"Audrey Zapp" [since removed]. Originally posted under the title "Back to Fairfax Circle." That was kind of boring; the new title is still a geographic place name, believe it or not.

I'm also adding the following, which was the original take before I started adding little touches:

"Audrey Zapp (original take)" [since removed]

I may ultimately go with the earlier version [I didn't]--it's more minimal, and I like the cymbal that got buried in all subsequent mixes for some reason. I'm really fighting the battle over whether adding drum rolls, filter sweeps, and a punchier bass line improves the piece or if those are just canned values.

Update, 2009: "Audrey Zapp (Light Industrial Remix)" [4.5 MB .mp3]

"Some local residents, believing the site had the potential to be a public natural resource, sought support from the state and federal governments to transform the facility into a waterfront park. In 1958, community activist and former City Councilman Morris Pesin wanted to increase public awareness of the remarkably close proximity of Liberty Island to Jersey City. Accompanied by a reporter from the Jersey Journal, Pesin canoed between the two locations, a journey of only eight minutes. Other early advocates for the creation and preservation of the park were Audrey Zapp and Ted Conrad. With growing community support, these activists succeeded in obtaining Green Acres Bond Funds, and Land and Water Conservation funds. Jersey City donated 156 acres for the initiation of the park. The Department of Environmental Protection and the US Army Corps of Engineers joined to clear the harbor for the park. A restoration of the terminal and present day waterfront property was undertaken under the supervision of the National Park Service in 1976."
