Just finished an important script, so it may be time for a little drinkie.

(Kidding. I’ll just go into the next script in the queue.)

(Somebody save me from myself)

A little over three quarters of the way to a first draft of PROJECT KATRA 101. Totally failed to get a note down here four times today, Most of my body is knots right now. Haven’t seen anyone in, um, a few days.

I think I have to link to STREET SHEETS here before I forget. Check out the gorgeous notebooks.

Library: Claire M Singer

Claire M Singer works with organ, cello and electronics to create soundscapes of great wonder and majesty. If you like Zoe Keating or Johann Johannsson this is right up your street, while being entirely its own thing. A favourite recent discovery.

Basically my soundtrack for today’s work.

Not going to see another human for about five days, so I’m settling in to push through two big jobs, change my diet a bit and hopefully finish cleaning out the back room or just set fire to it.

Reading James Sallis on one device and Cormac McCarthy on another because I love to be reminded of how bad and useless I am.

Watching an Amazon tracker inch closer to my house while my inbox hangs at 18 and I give a listen to TIMECUTS by Luis Miehlich. Odds of blowing off work at 9pm, opening a bottle and buying CDs off the internet: pretty high to be honest

From the Yugoslav-Czechoslovak film VISITORS FROM THE GALAXY.

ALGIDA BELLEZZA by Netherworld just arrived. It’s a lovely object.

The source of inspiration refers to an event long awaited by the artist but far from the glacial themes; the birth of his daughter in November 2015. This work is completely dedicated to her. The soundscapes were composed mainly during the night whilst the little princess was cradled in the arms of her dad.

I can relate.

A lot of things got written during nights with my daughter asleep in the crook of my left arm, after all.

The Clock

I’ve never really had to travel constantly for my job.  But there have been times.  God, there have been times. There are those years, those moments, when you wake up at 4am in a strange hotel room in a strange city, and you’re coming up on one hundred thousand miles on the flight trail, and you look at the clock and think what the hell am I doing?  And that’s me saying that, a neurotypical log of low emotional content and dead nerves.  What the hell am I doing?  Does this stop?  Can it stop?

And in the morning you’re back in another car, on the way to another airport, knowing it’s three more continents before dinner, looking at the clock, and it keeps on ticking, and you keep on moving, and you try to relax back into the ticking and keep moving into the future.

If you can still hear yourself over the tick of the clock, you’re lucky.  Hold on tight til the sun comes up.
