‘being so restless its hard to sit still’ circle 0, 1, 2 or 3?

Portsmouth February 23rd

Differences: Woken at 6:52 by the children next-door – first time this year I have not done this myself between 4-5am – reason I couldn’t sleep Friday night so did not drift off till 3am. I am not sure which is worse – cant get to sleep – broken sleep or fear’o’clock 5am – at least I can lay there either way and after a few minutes calming down think semi-straight without the interfearences, contagiousness of ‘i am here only due to others mistakes’ syndrome – invented by other people as control – remind myself before this ‘outside weathering’ starts that i am worthy of a job description as an artist of sorts.


wait and

watch

ideas accreted and forming

moving

moving ever-so slow

my stop framed

animation continents

drifting

split and separate

finding unconformable honest positions

to trace reality from age to age

story’s

of once jigsaw fittings

only slightly eroded but obvious from above

traces Konfirming their previous existence

today the electrics are sorted – outputs – inputs – conditioners – smoothers – fuses – leads – all questions generated answered with a single call plus later experimental testing – all usable – all now Konfirmed – another ticked box on a lengthening list.

‘One hundred and eighty eight’

Portsmouth February 20th


Awake

late

at

3:55am

unimpressed

unprepared

for this day

finally

the

sound

is drafted

to

be

given

shared

resonating

abandoned

finding image

to bodily project

against their backs

completing the circles

seen within my mind

but unable to read

anyone else’s

empathy

absent

let

go

in

while

i draw

in

blind

tandem

surrendering

to another hands

wondering do they see?

Summit skimming

Portsmouth February 18th

Wake suddenly knocking the radio to the floor twice in 3 days – undeserved – maltreatment for my vocal nigh-time companion – 5:27 am – re-feared – revisited

sun

monochrome and pure


Today is one of the projects sound sculpting days – mixing to deadline – 6 minutes compilation – video – anxious to see the product – interlacing – counterpointing of loops – each made in isolation on location – random finger tracing on plastic keys – no pencil required – so many permutations?

throw dice

read card

luck

chance

chaos

stitch

overlay

compare

complete

remaster

give

Konfirm

Yesterday – reminded of being a geologist – escapee volunteer – close to the heart – know your place – Stack shelves – constrained liberty – stak – orderly arrangement

Stac Pollaidh

you beautiful sandstone peak

Ice age survivor

head above the cold

weathered worn Madonna and child

watching

as we perceive falling in different ways
