Almost done, a few minor and one major thing still needs to be finished but I can start working on decorating the space and making sure I have a nice workflow. I am taking my time as this is something that needs some careful thinking and experimenting.
I am collecting some nice inspirational pictures from the internet and making a mood board. It’s also great to watch architecture, studio and gallery videos on Youtube fore some insight into how other people deal with space and creativity.
I will however move my desk and setup some basic workstation as soon as possible. So I can start working in the space. This will help me with deciding what I want to do with the space.
Lot’s to do but I am in no particular hurry. On the music side of things I am working on learning Max MSP and designing my output channels. Like band camp, an addition to this website for sharing my music and setting up a Git for the sharing of some of my musical coding and other things people might be able to learn from.
I am also thinking on starting a Patreon page for something completely different, more on that in the future. For now I have plenty of work to do and this will keep me busy.
Building things is always fun, that’s why making music, art & code is at the hart of what I love to do. It just needs a bit more focus. Which I sometimes lack. In other areas I am very focused but with music, art and in some ways code I miss the edge. Mostly because of a lack of energy. Luckily I have writing which helps me gather my thoughts and have a fixes moment to reflect. Not just on this page, but I keep a diary as well.
This brings me back to another important thing in my life, notebooks. I love writing down ideas so I always carry a notebook. I find writing ingrains my thinking much more than when I type it into a note on my phone. Which I still do a lot as well, but I have to make sure I come back to them later.
With my notebooks I don’t have that problem, I also re write notes into notebooks I keep and make sure I reorganize my thinking and add to my ideas. It’s a big part of my creative process. It’s also very relaxing. I find that taking time to do things right gives me better results.
Now I have to go and start building my desk 😉 See you all next week.
