The intervals between posts here will be
longer than usual from now on. Fictions written from existing works will be
exclusively directed into sound recordings. The recording process has involved
equipment upgrades from which there are time implications.
The trivia to this, for those interested,
is as follows. The first two tunes were played on a QWERTY keyboard on GarageBand
09, a package bundled on iMacs. Future compositions will be played
on a newly purchased musical keyboard, but more significantly, they will be
recorded with Logic Studio. The new software offers a lot
of features and conveniences, so, correspondingly, there is a steep learning
curve.
The upshot of all this is that the switch
to recording means a) fewer posts here, and b) that this blog will probably comment
on matters relating to the recording process and the texts the compositions are
written from.
Besides, the extra time between posts might
not be such a bad thing. Blogging is a good prompt for getting things done, and
it is immediate, but at the same time, it’s no good when you want to leave
things for a while and come back to them later. Gains in immediacy can
sacrifice percolation.
The next composition, likely to be posted
in about a week, is based on Naked Lunch by William S.
Burroughs.
