A Productive Delirium

The two weeks have been rather extraordinary. Even if I had to fight some quite awkward “summer illnesses” I managed to write 20 pages (A4), make 27 graphics, 22 new presets as well as shooting 21 video clips about it all.

But the perhaps most important thing to mention is a sudden inspiration which hit me while Ï was bound to stay in bed. The only view I could enjoy was the view into my garden (some call it a jungle, but I like it that way) through the balcony door. No wind was going, a hot summer day, only some few birds singing here and there.

Day after day always this same picture – and suddenly I heard music in my mind. I saw these very slow, very lazy movements of the high grass in a nearly only imaginary wind, a single leaf changing its position only a tiny little bit … hours after hours.

And slowly a relaxed tune, only a single one at first, was in my mind. So clear, so real as if I was listening to real music. Then a second voice, a third one, a fourth one.. all synchronous to these slight movements.

And piece by piece a whole symphony of ambient generative music built itself up in my mind. I didn´t do anything but just listening to what was going on in my head and watching the picture of my garden through the open balcony door.

A few days later when I was a bit better I took notes, drafted first patches. This piece is going to be a part of the book for sure.

Just follow these Wednesday reports on https://dev.rofilm-media.net and learn more about this trilogy dedicated to making generative music.

And don´t forget: You can still save big at the moment!

Enjoy your day!
