It’s a new year!
Ten years since the new minimum dawned on us.
I’m sticking to The Cult of Done Manifesto for this years dreams,ideas and goals.
Dear Members of the Cult of Done,
I present to you a manifesto of done. This was written in collaboration with Kio Stark in 20 minutes because we only had 20 minutes to get it done.
The Cult of Done Manifesto
1. There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
2. Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
3. There is no editing stage.
4. Pretending you know what you’re doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you’re doing even if you don’t and do it.
5. Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
6. The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
7. Once you’re done you can throw it away.
8. Laugh at perfection. It’s boring and keeps you from being done.
9. People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
10. Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
11. Destruction is a variant of done.
12. If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
13. Done is the engine of more.

When I first read that I was extremely excited because it is about ACTION
every year up till 2010 was about planning and theory
put it to action and let the work do the talking
I have an urge to be self generative in my work
from concept to creation
i am fully aware of the interconnection of it all
but that doesn’t mean i can’t experiment on my own with audio and sound
my girlfriend bought me a great little piece of hardware for Christmas
KORG nanoKEY
I’ve been playing around with VST’s(wiki article)
and messing with Ableton and FL
but the winner in my book is
AudioMulch
it’s a really great program and tons of mash up artist use it
i’d like to focus on loops
and being able to control audio live and without much hassle
AM is perfect for that so far!
so for the new year here are some goals!
*get a car
-jeep cherokee
*use my tax refund wisely
-pay down credit cards
-start a savings account
*get on top of my student loans
-consolidate
*Cintiq 21UX
-new or used
*Nikon SLR

*intern with great people
*Put out a collection of my panoramas
