2) creation, 3) community, 4) housekeeping

  • (today) tracked teeple at old house, using empty living room. learning to use cubase on laptop w/ zoom h4. always interesting to see him work - laying down track after track with little editing or revision. I comment on his process and he says his music is "ready made." I'll spend weeks editing one track - the difference is skill level obviously.
  • (last two days) installed cubase on laptop and using zoom h4 as mixer/audio interface. amazed at ease of use and appreciate items bundled together for relatively seamless operation. massive compiling of photos and video to be backed-up. primary computer (writing and music) damaged in move and now showing intermittent issues. uploaded revisions to website www.timcoalman.com, including new preface to ...fence posts rotting in the acreage....

2) creation, 4) housekeeping

  • revised preface to the rear. marginal progress. selected cover photograph and worked up cover design.
  • tightening up 3rd piece for book soundtrack.
  • (yesterday) writing preface for ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... and the rear. both failing. frustration of expense of effort to explain instead of create.
  • continuing to compile and sort artifacts from scattered sources of different sources.
