Camp Caravan. MA.

Rising at 05.30.

The morning exercise introduced to the Course today is one that, coincidentally, arose this week in response to work of the GC Special Study Group.

The day: personal meetings with students, attending a psychology lecture & a Movements class, listening to a JGB tape, and a final personal meeting.

After dinner: the second presentation from draft notes of Discipline & The Act Of Music to the House.

D&TAOM was originally presented at York University as The Performing Right Society John Lennon Memorial Lecture on Wednesday 31st. January, 2001 at the invitation of Dr. John Potter of the Hilliard ensemble.

I accepted the invitation as a pointed stick, an encourager to counter personal lassitude, to formalize several insights from a Guitar Craft course. There are presently several draft versions, none complete, one a précis version that served as an aide memoire on the evening of the talk.

The talk is referred to here. I note that the eventual cost of replacing T’s wheels (in my memory) was £1,050, thus more than the remuneration.

Masterfully Insightful, Fri., Nov 23, 2007
Written by KC_1980s

This is a rare look into the mind of a master of his craft. While it’s explicitly about guitar craft, the discussion would apply to anyone who creates things out of thin air, including comptuer programmers. The distinctions among the tradesman, master, and apprentice are very applicable to the computer field. So is the tension between doing your trade day in and day out and still trying to be inspired by what excited you in the first place. I detect Taoist thought in places, especially about not trying to play a correct note and then playing it anyway. What would be great is if Fripp would take all these aphorisms and ideas and distill them into a handy book.
