agghhh, already missing a day. Well, yesterday and today's efforts blend into each other. Working on producing text for this dance collaborative piece. It's very research heavy, literally spent 8 hour or so pouring over texts on different versions of apocalypses (apocali?apocalyosae?) which never actually occurred. It's not like it's the densest text I've ever worked with, but I need to do so much distilling, and there is this requirement of a certain degree of clarity and comprehension for our audience that is a difficult stricture to work with- in short, no mess (in the poetics sense of 'mess').

Started yesterday thinking about doing a kind of movie-telling narration of some footage of Oakland me and friend Nao Nakazawa shot a while back. Some many of us were doing those under Walter Lew while he was on this coast, and I never got started on one. Such an interesting process, but alas I had to abandon it when the disk I was working from corrupted. Thinking instead that I'm going to throw up a bunch of brick pieces throughout Oakland and ask people to check in on them and see how long it takes them to dissolve. I'll update on that effort.

In music- no composing, some drumset practicing. Need to start working on making and compiling field recordings for dance collaborative piece.
