Rising heroically at 07.26 to a beautiful morning. A breakfasting experience of the highest order. Off to work.
10.32 Super Audio Mastering. Monks Withecombe.
Chagford, Dartmoor
Leaving c .09.45. The temperature outside the toasty warmth of B&B Joyful was – 3 C. The Happy Gigster’s traveling snaffle, a bunch of bananas, were black & frozen solid. This is the first time I have seen a fresh-frozen bunch of bananas, carbon-footprint free as added bonus.
Simon is recovering well from his fall, which delayed these mastering session, and has ace support with fulltime assistant Andy…
Today’s work is Jakszyk Fripp & Collins. Simon & Andy have been prepping prior to my arrival. It’s an incredible album! Wonderful! enthuses Simon the Connoisseur. I agree. A Scarcity Of Miracles is a Number One! It’s a Number One! Who can doubt this will sell c. 490,000 copies in its first week of US release?
On the side table…
A Scarcity Of Miracles & The Price We Pay werned & twerned on the first pass.
11.38 Secrets. We are comparing two different A/D converters.
14.07 A tasty lunch of butternut squash. Back to work.
16.22 Jakko is remixing House at Studio Jakko in Berkhamsted – House. We are onto The Other Man.
17.25 Jakko’s new mix of House has been downloaded, is fab, and being tickled & vibrated: new technology at work.

in Guitar Craft the term Bright Idea refers to ideas which may seem very reasonable, but are not quite driven by necessity.
everything i undertake generates repercussions. that is, my life gets more complicated. if the action is necessary, i can handle the repercussions. if the action comes from what i want for myself, rather than wish for, a mess follows a little while later. if i’m careless, lotsa mess.
tetrad of the force that moves an action...
from time to time, invitations to participate in various projects come my way; from professional work to Work initiatives. now a little older, with persisting messes to settle before i die, my governing principle is: Honour necessity, Honour sufficiency. so if i get invited into a good idea, but feel no personal necessity, i simply acknowledge: this is not for me & i respectfully decline. if something that requires my involvement is hovering about, and needs my attention, i trust it will let me know. until then, i keep going.

we’re not sufficiently coalesced as a group to be ready for... whatever. but we are together enough to become closer. it doesn’t worry me that there is no obvious aim. working together with others, in a real way, has its own necessity. artistic antennae: we’ll know more about this in 3-7 years.
18.12 House well tickled & squerning away its joyousness. Enough for me today.
18.54 Back to B&B El Fabbo…
22.32 An evening computing done.
Dartmoor at night…
