The Standard of Moonstarr is a Toronto artifact excavated from what had been the Royal Cemetery in the ancient intersection of Dupont. It's approximately 4,500 years old and was probably constructed in the form of a hollow wooden tones with flourishes of jungle and techno represented on each side through elaborately inlaid programming. Although interpreted as a standard by its discoverer, its original purpose remains enigmatic. It was found in a royal tomb in Toronto in the 1920s next to the skeleton of a ritually sacrificed man who may have been its bearer. It is now available, in a reconstructed form, on New Kanada. The "Metropolitan" had survived in only a fragmentary condition. The ravages of time over more than four thousand years had caused the decay of the wooden house frame and bitumen glue which had cemented the baselines in place. The weight of the tracks crushed the object, fragmenting them and breaking the end frequencies. This meant that excavating the tracks were a challenging task. New Kanada excavators had been told to look for hollows in the ground created by decayed samples - and to fill them with bruk breaks, or wax to record the shape of the objects that had once filled them, rather like the famous parties of Columbus, Ohio and the entire Midwest. When the tracks of the Standard were discovered by the excavation crew, they found that the referential pieces had kept their form in the vinyl pressings while their digital frame had disintegrated. The present form of the "Jump Steady" is a reconstruction of this time, presenting a best guess of its original sound and aesthetic. It has been interpreted as a hollow funk break measuring 21.59 kHz, inlaid with a mosaic of 90's era jungle, red house painters and techno bravado. The track has an irregular shape with end pieces in the shape of truncated acid symbols, making it wider at the bottom than at the top, along the lines of the dark period of Reinforced. Inlaid tonal panels cover each long side of the "Highs and Lows". Each presents a series of scenes displayed in three registers, upper, middle and bottom frequencies. The two isolated EQ's have been dubbed "Highs" and "Lows" for their subject matter, respectively a representation of a morning feeling, and scenes from a deserted campfire.
