Last Exploits of the Industry

Last Exploits of the Industry is the third EP released by Trig Jegman, and the final in the original series of initial releases. It was originally published February 26, 2021 to Bandcamp exclusively. The cover art is taken from an abandoned Ohio prison, and shows the breath of jail cells on the left. Of the three EPs, Last Exploits of the Industry is generally the most 'commercially viable' of the bunch, focusing on some of the best work that time had to offer. 

A remastered deluxe version was released unto streaming services on February 11, 2025. This was the first of several releases to receive a remastered version for streaming platforms.

01 — An Amusing Discovery

Written in the style of Professor Layton games, this piece shifts between keys like there's no tomorrow, as well use instruments to play short lines before trading off to the next. There's almost a dirge-like feel for this cozy city vibe. Just like a good mystery, you never know what is going to come next.

02 — Some Pretty Delta

An extremely ambient piece, simply floating away into space. Jazzy chords and background organs set a very lush vibe, as a bassoon and saxophone riff carry the rest of the weight. The name of this piece was picked by an ex-girlfriend.

03 — Falling Again

Inspiration from this work comes from a Ben Levin instructional video about dissonance, particularly with tritones. Who knew melodica and tuba could be so emotive? This song originally had words planned for it, but with no confidence and no way to reasonably record it, the intended lyrics for it have been lost to time. 

04 — Emerald Forest (Even Greener Version)

A remake of the song Emerald Forest, which by error had not actually been released at this time. It's a bit strange, but that's just how these things happen sometime. The mix for this release is significantly cleaner than the original version.

05 — Freezing Point

A simple ice/winter piece. The string harmonies wrap around the listener like a good warm blanket. Sometimes all a good winter work needs is sleigh bells. Have a merry holidays!
