2) creation, 3) community

(last few days) tracked dreams from Ian and I on small digital recorder, also Beckett wanting to share his dreams to join in the moment - mumbles about his head being cut off, echoing an element of Ian's dream he just heard. writing piece for music liner notes - re: lack of use of sound libraries, samples, or pre-existing files. also designing performance desk of three screens on pivot arms and three sound players for shows. gave copy of ...fence posts rotting in the acreage... book 2 to friend at school.

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.
