Music For The Human Condition:

This project, which I shall refer to as A Rush of Air, is primarily to be an examination of my day to day evolution. I shall present my findings in the form of singular strains of composition and on a daily continuum.

I must not begin before waking and I must post by 8:00 AM, every morning. The selection may be of any length necessary/possible but must be considered a completed work, upon posting. I will also provide as detailed an explanation as possible on the sources of inspiration found for each piece.

Them's the rules.

Missed a few days? Here's what I've been up to.

An apology, an explanation... Mar 20, 2008 |

If you've been one of the very few who've been loyally returning to this blog, hoping for something new, then I thank you for your dedication.

As you may have noticed, I've not been active... at all. I have a few ideas about what I'm going to end up doing with this, but I need a bit more time, I think.

I started out strong, but the strain was more than I anticipated. Intense feelings of pressure to perform... to try and outdo my previous creations... to give people more than one reason to keep returning. One day became three became seven and so on. The stress left, the moment I decided to abandon the project. It's too bad that our thoughts lead us to such dismal conclusions.

However, I shall return... and I shall attempt to make a better go of things, next time. Likely, I'll end up producing only three to five tracks a month... if it's a good month, of course. This isn't nearly the goal I previously held in my sights, but it will have to do, for now.

Stay tuned... I'll use MySpace to keep you updated.

Author's Note:

The aim of this project is three-fold.

I must, firstly, attempt to remove the stones that insist on continually damming the rivers of my creative process... otherwise known as writer's block. Secondly, I must now push myself to the limits of my understanding in the field of composition and, quite simply, write as often as possible. This appears to have become imperative, if I am ever to surpass my own expectations. The third and final goal is to use this method as a trick to snatch myself out of the depths of this terrifying depression. It is not a pretty place.

If you happen to like anything you hear and/or just can't get enough (which, I must say, calls your taste considerably into question), don't hesitate to contact me on matters of even the most trivial pursuit. I shall always do my best to oblige.

Cheers.
