In the end, I don't know that I served journalism as well as it served me and that's probably true of all of us, whatever we do. We are never the equal of our calling.
Maybe I never respected the craft. There is something shallow, ultimately un-serious about it all. Journalists think events determine our world, yet events tell us nothing.
If we follow events we miss what the French call questions d'existence. We miss the meaning of it all.
Disquiet Junto 0703 That's How You Got Killed Before
The Junto assignment this week is to "Revisit something that you just couldn’t get to work last time."
I've gone back to my track 'Wanderer' to try layering a couple of takes that I noticed were close in their tempo, despite not using a clicktrack.
Disquiet Junto 0702 Chain of Application
The Junto this week asks participants to misuse music software.
Usually I use Ableton Live by composing in MIDI, then exporting those notations as sound.

Disquiet Junto 0701 Gap Ear
The Disquiet Junto assignment is to "Break apart a piece of music and fill the resulting spaces."

Pedalboards in bloom
What’s the difference between a lead guitarist and a terrorist?
You can negotiate with a terrorist!What do you do when you see a girl on the arm of a guitar player?
Say "Nice tattoo"!What’s the difference between a guitarist and a savings bond?
Eventually, a savings bond will mature and make money!
Uncle Jimmy on culture
Well culture – you can't experience culture, you can't learn it, you can't describe it. You've got to live it. You've got to live it. If you want people to like you you've got to like them. If you want people to respect you you've got to respect them. You can't force your ideas on people. It mightn't be the right way for you. You might have to travel another trail to get to the right meaning and in culture you know that, you know that way. It's more like – I suppose culture was a religion or something similar to religion. It's a way of life, yeah, it's the way you live your life.
