New Focus

To help with the practice of composing sound art, TH, a teacher of mine at my graduate program, asked me to spend fifteen minutes each day concentrating on making sound, and to bring her a composition every week, that came out of my experimenting. This blog documents my daily sound-making.

As is likely clear from the lack of new posts since late September, I didn't keep up my regimen of daily performances. I'm still working out my artistic process, and I feel better about my position this semester than I did last semester, but I'm still not all that far along on any of my pieces, and I need to get better organized and develop production schedules (this is more of NB's idea than TH's this time around).

So, I'm going to re-purpose this blog as an organizational tool. I'll post descriptions of projects I'm planning — all of the projects I'm planning — schedules for finishing them, and post updates when I think I need to in order to keep myself sane. I'll be posting text, and also sending in reminders to myself from my cell phone through audioblog.

This site will stay the same, in that it is the clearinghouse for my creative process, but it's mission has changed, as has my identity as an artist.

To help me develop and finish the electronic artworks on which I'm working, I've decided to keep a blog as a means of aggregating information, notes, reminders, and deadlines, pertaining to my projects in one place. This blog is a document of my creative process. This blog is for me, but you are welcome to share it.
