Being Marginalized by the Marginal

 The new stupid has banal spelled right and everything. Fuck all that.

While I'm getting crossed between my feet and a short cable just long enough to kill me. I work in a tight space and it is cluttered with cables and equipment. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm up to 7 MIDI instruments in my band right now. There's even a Proteus/2 in there.

It's so weird that you couldn't have made it up. 

That's what I think about sometimes, when the truth unfolds if it does. I drove halfway across this country and had to stop and realize that I was only like 1/3 or 1/4 of the way there. That's where the mighty crest of the wave broke against the wall and fell backwards towards the shore. I would trade right now for any other time I suppose. I've never felt that I could trust the government. Nothing new has risen.



The website for Institute of Mimetic Sciences, Inc. does not represent them, it's about them. There's a difference. It is just a beginning place to start a history to document the lives and times of people who were par of a movement, much like the Gemini program at NASA, it is a consequence of hours of skill and determination, just to imagine what whould someday be possible in a conversation between a person and a machine.

If a company insists that it is only ethical to announce that you are an AI before you begin the conversation, why can't you just give the user the opportunity to make up their own mind? Who cares unliess you get it wrong? Then you were deceived. That is bad. Tell Santa Clause he is in trouble with The Thought Police.

Distributed Songwriting

I use different machines for different things. I don't have just one DAW that does everything I need. My process is evolving. I am trying to understand what it is that I want, which is harder than I tried to believe. It helps to talk about it, to clarify my mind so that I can reach a level of peace that has been hard to come by lately.

I want to be able to make a cool sounding mellow sound, and then be able to do an industrial anthem. I will be a one man band. I am too screwed up to work with anybody else. I've finally reached a determining point in my sound and my music. Now, it's a matter of getting up the courage to step off the end of the diving board and eaither arch my back into a knife through the water, or land on my belly and splash everybody in the first row. But then, my audience won't be here. They will be there, where you are.

I have a setup that is modular and efficient. I have come to a realization about sound and where it comes from. I just produced a 6 song EP on an iPad. I've got a backlog of albums to releasee but there is paperwork to complte and cover art to secure. I want to make more refined products, so I try to be patient and do good work. I am an old aprentice, but the alternative would be worse.
