I've fostered my procrastination for this particular task for some time, despite it being requisite for the journal; making a weekly plan (weekly. . . !)
- Photography
- Print some more photos using the Mac suite at University
- Find out if I can get access to the Manchester University print room (this will allow me to print up to A1 at high quality, currently I can only print up to A30
- Transport my framed prints into University for my review in February
- Enquire about showing those prints at the Link gallery
- Restart my daily regime of taking photos of my face, bedroom, ash tray, kitchen, garden (I've let this slip recently, but the videos would be excellent for VJ purposes)
- VJ
- Continue refining library and further develop my understanding of the software that I'm using (OpenTZT; http://opentzt.sourceforge.net/)
- Animate my Romanian doll
- Create some more digital psychedelic backdrops for overlaying natural images on top of
- Look at animating my motorway time-lapse images for VJing
- Prepare my time-lapse videos for review in February
- Set up my web cam for recording time-lapse again (I would like to position it looking at the street, but I need to purchase a longer cable and set up a mount!)
- Put together comprehensive plan of what I need to do to prepare my VJ 'set' for my review
- Time
- Compile a display of time-based photographs and video pieces
- Look at different presentations of my 'Time' material
- Music
- Complete "Diamond Apologies" track (should only require some more vocals and maybe a high synthesiser line, could consider recording Bouzouki but it may make it too busy)
- Revisit other recently recorded tracks (Lifeline & other forays into electronic based music) and look at adding more acoustic elements
- Put together live set of "finished" material ready to show to Leo
- Supply Fred Baker (http://www.myspace.com/fredbaker) with recordings for his professional adjudication & input
- Buy new guitar strings (again!) - Martin, extra light seem to do the trick
- Book the sound suite at University for mixing down of my tracks using the monitoring system
- Other Things
- Sort out passport!!!!
- Write to Granny and send some photographs
- Identify something good to review (maybe write a review of the Joe Columbo exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery?)
- Print photographs taken at the weekend
- Have a go at making a video for a newly recorded track
- Decide upon some good music for my VJ demonstration
- See if Paddy still needs me for the Victoria Hall gig in Keighley
- Send of release form & DVD to LocalPoint TV
- Hassle myspace.com more to see why I can't post anything to it & try to put new recordings up there
- Ask people if I can do remixes for them
- Canvass opinion of local shops for sellings my prints
Having written this it seems highly likely that not all of these will be done and will appear in a future to-do list!
Matt; taken at the weekend on another excursion to Chorlton Water Park. I can't deduce any particular message or meaning from it - but I like simply like the aesthetics of the image. I converted the original from colour to black and white and increased the contrast in the image to bring out his silhouette. I really like the detail that you can see in it, down to the curls in Matt's hair.
