When I began to write my journal in earnest, I decided to follow a favourite route for producing something good. The starting point for this was searching the University library for “art” and “journal”. This yielded two results, one was spurious, the other was Brian Eno’s A Year with Swollen Appendices. This was quite a [...]

I just had a look at Fourtet’s website (http://www.fourtet.net/) – there is a competition currently running to make a music video for one of his tunes, which I think I will enter. The competition is run by an Italian website, that I had not previously been aware of (http://it.qoob.tv/) but it seems to be pretty [...]

I’ve fostered my procrastination for this particular task for some time, despite it being requisite for the journal; making a weekly plan (weekly. . . !)
Photography
Print some more photos using the Mac suite at University
Find out if I can get access to the Manchester University print room (this will allow me to print up to [...]

Crude I know. I feel entitled to be crude having deleted a good 15 hours of work on a piece of music. I have no idea how it happened, but on returning to it, its not there. File recovery programs haven’t recovered anything- simply reassured me that I was so stupid in the first place.
Oh [...]

Despite my ‘love’ of the web and the internet – it is my primary source for doing, well, pretty much anything! – the bigger and better it all gets it simultaneously develops more and more shit flying around it.
My first ever comment on my journal/blog was this (since deleted, thankyou very much);
“Tshhhhh.”

Note to self:
This requires quite a lot more than this to put in to words and convey its breadth, realistically, but as a pre-cursor it is fit for purpose; It would be best to have a distinct set (set of visuals) for each mood or musical genre that you might encounter; straight-4 dance music, funk, [...]

“Good Vibes” are a thing that I crave from time to time. I wrote a song about a succession of these feelings that came about over the course of a weekend in the summer of 2005, you can listen to that on my MySpace page here; http://www.myspace.com/josephmymusic. I don’t know why it is that when [...]

I went to see the film a few weeks ago, and felt it would constitute a good subject for a journal review. I was drawn to it, with the preconception in my mind that it would be solely animated, and that it would probably be inhibited by being a modern fairy tale, which I generally [...]

These words were written to be used for a piece of music that I wrote called Last Thoughts (you can download it from here; http://downloads.josephmusic.me.uk/joseph-lastthoughts.mp3). I don’t think I will actually use them for their intended purpose. My writing style comes about in an almost ’stream of consciousness’ manner, both for “journalistic” writing and poetic [...]
