Rorschach 07 is a carrot butterfly. Big wings and nice smears of color. Oh, and a really big carrot.

This is one of my favorites. The color scheme being excessive and the symmetry just enough. These were fun old days.

The new pieces are a lot less spontaneous. More tedious and process oriented. I am having more spontaneity with the field recorder.

The main issue is how to work them up into a finished piece. Should they be more thought out pieces with layers or should they just be the piece as recorded?

Maybe I should make the process so intense it becomes like the art process. Make everything super tedious. Make every single idea overthought and overwrought.

It’s hard to take anything I say seriously when I am constantly being so sarcastic. Mostly it is anxiety at not knowing what to do. They are honest questions.
