Just finished my work for day 5. Unfortunately my recording computer crashed and I lost most of the recording for this eve! Which really, really is annoying as I did some parts that I would have loved to revisit in the post production.
Anyway, had a really good session. It had very few changes and I was "inside" each compositing for a very long time, just soaking in the impressions and harmonics in the modulated noises, the clashing of half notes, white noise and timbres from various objects. Like watching a painting for a REALLY long time. I am beginning to feel like my ideas are repeating, as if there is a creative funnel where things are starting to become more focus, and I am becoming increasingly aware of what I am going to take with me from this work.

In real life, today has been a bit of a whirlwind with "real world" people trying to get in touch with me and requiring my action. It seems like the performance situation and to be broadcast online is less of a pressure than real life, sometimes! As I am sitting here at the IAC, I can hear the wind blowing quite aggressively on the ceiling of the building. I am dreading to go outside and make my way home.
