2) creation, 4) housekeeping

(last week) transferring of audio from small digital recorder that I'd used for years - admonishing myself to never use it again for so many samples, child recordings, conversations, dreams, etc as there is no ability to upload or move audio into computer without taking earphone jack and wiring through two connectors to finally arrive at mixer and sit there for hours playing the files into computer. terrible process. several notebook entries.

DAILY ARTIFACT LOG - GOAL

My artifacts are not stillborn or arrested in early development so much by unresolved planning or structural defects but instead are slowly pinched off by small stoppers and momentum-less days. The creative effort not lost to hemorrhage but leached off by the routine everyday droplets. The late arriving echo audience hardly privy to the daily toil that piles the artifacts for a lifetime before their immediate awareness, appraisal, and acquisition. Deadlines aid the effort but are product-bound and necessarily presume an audience / patron / publisher / distributor / and such.
