Starting a new project can be an exhilarating experience, full of possibilities and potential. However, without a structured approach, what begins with enthusiasm can quickly turn into confusion and chaos. Properly initiating a project is crucial to ensure it stays on track and meets its objectives. Here are some essential steps to kickoff a project the right way:

Henry Kaiser — Mahalo Nui (Metalanguage)

John Fahey was 27 years old when he recorded Requia. While parts of it play as a sincere ceremony of remembrance for people who meant something to him, it was nonetheless the work of an ornery young man. That provenance showed, especially on the spectacularly trollish, side-long musique concrete composition, “Requiem For Molly.” Henry Kaiser knows all about Fahey, guitars experimental music, and Requia in particular. He’s recorded a couple albums of his own using that title, and posed for one of them in a visual homage to Fahey’s record. But Kaiser’s also managed to live a longer life than Fahey, very different but no less astounding. He has been able to carry on a career as a boundary-straddling guitarist who gets to play whatever he wants with pretty much whoever he wants and also to work as a research diver with a specialty in under-ice video work.

Several tracks from this projectstarted out as a COVID-era project, when Kaiser included among the regular YouTube videos that he posted from lockdown with shout-outs to recently passed musicians, such as Steffen Basho-Junghans and David Lindley. Over time, the partings tend to proliferate. Kaiser found himself with ten mostly-solo tracks that shared two criteria: they memorialized fellow travelers who adventured with him upon or under the ice, or who made music, films or musical instruments; and they continued Kaiser’s decades-long determination to do more with the guitar than it previously had been able to do. These became Mahalo Nui.

Born in 1951, Kaiser has now lived long enough to know loss in ways that Fahey could not when he recorded Requia in 1967. Across its two sides, Fahey dug deep into sorrow and respect, and also let fly some ill-focused antagonism. You’ll some sorrow on Mahalo Nui, particularly on the sole non-solo performance, a slide guitar trio in honor of David Lindley. But you’ll hear a lot more joy and gratitude; the album’s title translates from Hawaiian as Thank You Very Much. “Hard Time Killin’ Spoonful Requiem For Paul Hostetter” mashes up Derek Bailey and Skip James gestures with more glee than rue; perhaps Kaiser assembled the performances from licks that the late luthier loved? The glistening tones and complex timbres of “Antarctic Requiem For Liz Sutter & Bija Sass,” which is named after two of his fellow Antarctic travelers, evoke a state of drifting wonder and weightless solace.

In 1990, I caught a Kaiser solo concert and came away as impressed with the looming height of his effects rack as I was with his music. He’s never been afraid to indulge the possibilities of technology and technique, and there have certainly been times when they have gotten the better of him. That never happens on Mahalo Nui. The occasions when he foregrounds technical interventions, such as the school of psychedelic blurs on “Mysterious Requiem For Paul Plimley” and the real-time combination of scything slide guitar and MIDI-controlled piano notes on “Some Of The Great Ancestors Inside My Guitar,” pay off real musical dividends. This record makes a strong case for both the technical and emotional aspects of Kaiser’s art. One caveat for those who prefer physical formats; if you go to Kaiser’s Bandcamp page, this title is only offered as a download. However, it is also available as a CD if you’re willing to search a bit.

Doesn't look like much I know but every project has to have a starting point. This open field and these 2"x12" boards should eventually end up being my man cave. This may take awhile to get there but what else do I have to do? Trying to get whatever I can done while the wife is sleeping.

Start of project

For this first project, we are supposed to explore and experiment with a material (the analog joystick) and a topic (bodily skill). We started of with trying to find alternatives for the joystick in real life (a segway, an airboard, skiing etc), what kind of movements are involved (tilting, spinning?) and what we felt the joystick “was like” (cursive writing, calligraphy, balance). For the bodily skill, we went with the cursive writing.

At this time though, we found out that we were not supposed to focus on a specific skill but more on a phenomena (like the two I presented in the last post) in bodily skill. Thinking of questions like “How is it that we get better at something”, “What is changing” and “How does the world change when developing a new skill” for example. From here we got in to how one teaches the skill of cursive writing. What is needed for the skill to be acquired? From own experience and some googleing we know that worksheets with different levels are used. Lined paper, super-lined paper and tracing letters. What we also need to acquire the skill, or at least what we have used to acquire the skill, is a pen (here we need to learn how to hold the pen, where to put our fingers, deciding the pressure of the fingertips towards the pen and the pressure towards the paper and so on).

All this might sound really good. But what we are struggling with is starting to experiment with this combination of teaching cursive writing and the joystick. We are not supposed to make the exercises used of teachers, or present a new way to acquire the skill. So what do we do? How do we connect these two elements? Should we experiment with a pen? Making the joystick in to a pen and learning how to hold it? Should we question with examples of how you learn a skill? We are confused
