[microsound] 8-bit new years resolution

[derek holzer <derek@xxxxxxx>]

1) For every five days spent in front of the computer, a minimum of two 
in nature. [This could be more difficult than expected. In Holland, for 
example, all the trees are planted in straight lines.]

2) Learn what makes a computer more than a synthesizer with mouse and 
screen. Write a song in C.

3) Refuse to handle money. All those who would like a lecture, 
performance or workshop from me will have to either pay my bills 
directly or deliver groceries to my flat. [Note to future employers: I 
eat Mexican or Indian.]

4) Location. Context. Academic noise for the fashion show. Booty bass 
for the conservatory.

5) Monastic retreat: 100 days. 100 tracks. [Quality is unimportant.]

6) Collaborate with people I have never met and whose work I admire 
greatly. [Toshiya Tsunoda, Peter Greenaway, Def Jux, Mou Lips!, Phil 
Niblock, Sogar, Pauline Oliveros, Chris Watson, Otomo Yoshihide, Steve 
Roden...]

7) Collaborate [more] with people I have met and whose work I admire 
greatly. [Jed Whitaker, Kevin P, Yannick Dauby, Sara Kolster, Stephan 
Mathieu, Tim Hecker, Andrei Savitsky, Luka Princic, Borut Savsky, 
Sachiko M, Jaromil, Marko Peljhan, Christian Toonk, Maksim Borisov, Bas 
van Koolwijk, Ryan Parteka, Jon Wozencroft...]

8) Once and for all convince those people who only care about the 
product that it is really all about the process.


Feel free to adopt, adapt and expand.

Happy new years,
D.
