Day 18: Idea

Hey guys,

Over the last two days my right arm's been really bad. Even with left-handed computer use, I can't really get to a point where it's not sympathetically tensing. Like a back-seat driver, used to being dominant, ya know. Anyway I am terrified of RSI and the damage it may do to my output in the long run. I think I just need to take the pressure off with a few things,  including MoM, for a few days and try and hardly use the computer/piano/phone/pen at all.

Heres an idea for a piece though. A simple chord progression played in hushed, sustained semi-quavers on piano (Vatche?), recorded three times, the player with a click thats a few bpm different to the last for each recording. And with eternal repeats, they would go more and more out of phase in the actual phase way. By no means an original idea, but I'm excited to experiment with the chords bleeding into each other.

Finally, Happy Birthday Christine, you aquatic burst of light.

  2. I hope you get better soon! Maybe some soft yoga with an attractive yoga instructor would help? Always helps me...

  3. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this arm thing, Alice :( Hope it clears up with some rest. Is there any chance seeing a doctor might help?

    Love your idea, btw! And thanks for the birthday wish :)
