Start a blog, or some kind of remotely updateable archive viewable by an audience. Back post everything that has ever been written. Dedicate to the daily practice of writing. Finish the book, wrap up that frame, then continue moving forward into the more definite project. The first act of the opera, the first research compilation for the PhD, the laying down of a new foundation. This was about to be a time of completion but has become or will become yet another period of transition. This will be an essential practice as I begin the next phase of music production.

On that note: remember the stillness of the music, sound frames, aural deliberations of space. Static chord structures, slowly climbing scales to Borgesian rooms nested within the corners of other rooms: Shepard tones to infinite heights. Guitar, piano, flute, voice: any instrument. Tune the chords and record the sections: composition happens on the editing table. Accumulate more instruments! Order flutes, shakers, breathing instruments. Get the meditation organ back from Chelsea.
