No wrong note.


NOTE TO SELF

'Tis a momentary lapse of season.

Horizon haunts this doodled huddle.

What lies beyond? 
What lies beyond?

A scribbled scrap saved from oubli.

Nothing more.

No wrong note.

FEW WORDS



EROSION




Eroded skies drape patina earth.

Lines float ghostly.

Clouds storm muster.




PRINT SCREENS

negative mood
eroded presence




INTERFERENCE




APPLICATION

There are no wrong notes.



There are no wrong notes.

FOOTNOTES

A doodle on a note pad looked insignificant.

I played with its insignificance 

filtering with the aptly named app -  "Distressed FX"

I looked to layer the image with an app -  "Fused"

Absentmindedly - no filter.

I played with words.

I layered them with an aptly named app -  "Mood"

A tweeted request for video remixing came from Wendy Taleo.


Absentmindedly - no filter.

I flicked through the posts.

I fell upon a poem.


There was only one line which captured my attention.

My mood filtered out the rest.

My attention is limited at times like this.

"No ideas, no energy, no desire."

I sighed.

I saved the scrap.

WTF

I played around with making wrong notes with an app "Thumbjam"

Making a horrible noise is therapeutic but actually quite tricky.

It eventually sounded suitably discordant.

I added "There is no wrong note" in monotone.

I exported the discord to iMovie.

It combined aptly with the distressed doodle.

"There is no wrong note".

What if God is a lurker?

Footnote and apology.

All of this started when Aras and Sarah invited me to complete a form.

About lurking.

DONE.

Quickly.

I hate that word.

For reasons unknown.

I looked for rhymes.

Lurk, jerk, shirk etc.

And then they caused me to waste hours of my life.

I am useless with forms.

f f fugue.




Self similar, self evident, fractal self...

"You still draw the same," 
my son said as we looked through the artwork.

"That's yours isn't it?" 
he added in recognition.

A recognizable scribble.





I am BEING reconciled to this frame.

I am BEING reconciled in this frame.

I am BEING reconciled by this frame.




WORD ALIENATION


NOTHING...
NOTHING...
NOTHING...


Fougue, sic fugitive scribble sum est.




I hated Latin.





self similar, self evident, recursive selves...




flee, frames.





Contemplation thanks to Terry Elliott.
