2) creation, 4) housekeeping

(last few days) notebook entries on horrors of parental cleanliness, finished girl scout interview with basic editing, eq, and balance. one of the first times I have taken audio to such a finished form - cd for the .wav files, a cd with mp3 versions of each interview, and on a memory stick. each piece named so any player will display all relevant information instead of the ubiquitous "track 1," "track 2" etc. also sorting through endless audio files and project folders to streamline all the music and sound artifacts I've built as an audio library. sets up studio for a much more fluid creative process.

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.
