It’s an amazing world, and let’s do that; create what we prefer. Let us always create what we prefer. Let us create something of our own choosing, and allow ourselves the space around that creation, to become a “breathing zone”, for what we choose for ourselves. To support our higher selves — our truest version […]

Why is it important that others align with their higher self, to find this understanding? The goal of all life is, ultimately, to create happiness by meeting all the needs for survival, followed by the needs that lead to self actualization. Maslow identifies this with his hierarchy of needs, which ascends in 5 levels (physiological, […]

She/He may be limited… in space…in experience…in money…in patience…in food…in sexual knowledge…in out of body experience…in good life experience…in bad times… she or he may be limited in time.  

I ended up realizing a production goal that year. I digitized and organized my entire back catalogue that year, beginning with those tapes, and including all my 4-tracks, work tapes, DATs, Sound FX, Loops and Samples. Recording became an activity organized from a single hard drive, and with an incremental back up process takign place […]

It took 7 years to figure out how I wanted to make music again. What it boiled down to was, I wanted making music to be easy, and free of a lengthy accounting or “clean-up” phase. I also resented how I’d cornered myself using MIDI prior to 1993 — I was afraid of picking up […]

Between 1993 and 2000, I recorded every musical idea on a cassette tape using a dictaphone. I did my best to put dates on the cassettes when I’d finish them, although by the October of 2000, I had 88 C-90s, filled front and back with junk, musical snatches, amusing phone messages, personal journal entries, creative […]

Or the difficult way,but nobody really wants to do that. You adopt this stance Recognizing the commonsense/emotional component of doing somethingBeing kind, helpful, efficient. It serves a very logical side of the brain as well as a compassionate one, being efficient means being considerate to oneself; a simplification that makes life enjoyable. And it’s logical […]

I’m not a fan of doing anything twice. And if I can avoid exhausting personalities and just stay focused all day, then that’s a truly good thing. I guess it all works out.  

For me personally, working digitally means that I have a tendency to organize and database certain types of work-in-progress, as a precursor to a lot of the work that I do. For example, in 2003, I finally worked out a relational system for organizing my output, allowing me to work even faster. The prime objective […]

I was faced with the proposal of doing a distillation of my work for a cd-rom, but in the end, I voted against it, because I simply did not want to present a reduction or derivation. So there’s a dual motive; most importantly, there’s the artistic one that says that an object is an object, […]

Being a digital artist is a term we hear more and more of. Perhaps it really describes more of an attitude – it’s about how we get organize our work to get digital results, rather than merely being a symptom of using a few of the tools; Photoshop and a drawing tablet alone do not […]

Consider each Catalogue number to be a self-contained thesis in the Post-Situationist-International (SI). Consider each Day to be a looser definition of time; much like the interpretative measurement of days in the biblical sense.

It’s one of many photos; a young man with a slight grin, holding up a sign he’s made with the following words on it, “Everything is connected in life. The point is to know it, and to understand it.” It’s contained in this beautiful quote, located in Gillian Wearing’s project “Signs That Say What You […]

What I mean by this, is that the only artifacts of early Situationism are the words…This is what a mostly-failed movement could offer, if not for the inclusion of Fluxus style lightness to divert and to subvert. No website that writes about Post-Situationism, without also “detourning” at the same time could be of any real […]

It is by coincidence that the use of a realist metaphor, that subverting the language of advertising can become a big part of how something like that gets presented. For example, we have Simon Patterson’s “The Great Bear”, joining the world’s public persona, engineers, comedians, royalty, planets and major philosophers on a tube map; the […]

I’ve always had this passion for fiction intertwining with reality, and blurring those edges – especially where these either make for a good dialogue about life and art. Perhaps it even fulfills a need I have; for irony to find a home in art. The effect of bringing lightness and humor to every experience now […]
