I put in a bid to play Domifare at AMRO, knowing it was in no state to perform, but also knowing that nothing motivates like a deadline. I thought it was likely to be accepted, so I planned to start working on it during the break between spring and summer terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then I got covid and felt terrible for weeks, but also got brain fog which, to be honest, has not completely dissipated. I mean, it’s hard to tell. How could I possibly have a bassline on my mental state? I do know that my sense of taste is still messed up and if I exercise a lot I feel ill the next day, so let’s say I’m not at 100% mentally. It could be all in my head, but what difference would that make?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to finish my marking before dedicating all my time to this. I have not finished my marking, but now both are an emergency. Indeed, the list of things I have not done is kilometres long. My tuba needs a service. I haven’t played it for months and lips are completely unfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an overly-honest research update. The subject line is the Solresol word for “fear.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the state of the language:<\/p>\n\n\n

The “language” has always been conceived of as a way of defining loops. So I have some syntax for recording loops as an audio recording or as a series of onsets, the ability to “shake” an onset loop, the ability to schedule shakes, and the ability to start and stop loops. These are all a series of short musical licks I should ideally memorise but at least be able to play without hesitation or split notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the language currently has the ability to read and receive notes, which is necessarily flaky and a scaffold to hand the rest of the operations …. and a GUI to adjust thresholds because that’s necessary while playing… and that’s kind of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This coming weekend is a four day one which is actually a disaster because it means I can’t work during it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing out what I actually have to do makes it sound fully achievable, but it will take longer than I think it will. The GUI took all of yesterday.<\/a> If I spend part of every day programming and part of every day practising, I should get there. Hopefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t bought my train tickets yet, but I really don’t want to drop out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
