Compass Rose

I took yesterday molasses-slow, and it was delightful. Now it’s time to reorient. The next set of work deadlines are weeks and weeks away, and there are a number of other deadlines to be set, now that Langue is finally finished.

Musically, I’m in Mad Scientist mode, experimenting. At some point I’m going to release another album, which I expect will consist of 50% material posted here and 50% brand spanking new tracks. This is so far down the tracks yet I don’t know the name of the station, and has a lot to do with how the experiments go.

I’ve been enjoying Vlad Spears’ recent updates on his ongoing Max/MSP projects. Artist weblogs (or artists with weblogs?) are fabulous; and serve a very similar function to the old graduate school composers forum, only with 100% less pretension. More accurately it’s like the meetups at the local pub after the composers forum, only (sadly) with 100% less beer. Knowing that other people are being creative creates a place where creativity flourishes.
