yet another progress update

So, right now I should be working on my video piece, but I'm not. I'm pretty exhausted from the week and feeling pretty sick. I had to cancel going to see my friend's show since I don't feel well. That sucks. I would probably try to make it but I'm going to Paris for a few weeks on Tuesday and I *really* can't afford to get sick. Not to mention all the things I have to do before Monday ends.

I experimented using a particle system for the bubbles this week but I think I'm gonna trash it. Just having my breathing directly control the derivative of the movement is enough. Maybe I could scale it to logarithm but having it control acceleration in a system just isn't as expressive or controlled enough (I felt).

I think I need to write other effects to be controlled by breathing... not that many... probably blurring, darkening, and then reconstructing (making the image normal again). But this weekend my goal is probably to get a lot of the notation down, and the trajectory of the piece. I'll compose it... THEN I'll write the code / implement it.

Looks like a performance date of Sept. 16. Gennette asked me for a rehearsal schedule. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! I need to find another female video artist FIRST.

Things I want to do in Paris (work-things I mean)
1. Write a proposal for the incognito choir piece.
2. Work on video piece / processing blah.
3. Send proposal to choir and then FIND ONE that wants to do shiz.
4. Maybe some origami piece work
5. Book a show for Oct. / Nov. --> flamenco piece + origami piece.
6. OH I need to write Justin back about that JC thingy.

Oh! I have started the score for my origami piece and it is AWESOME. So fun! Hopefully I can find around 9 players for it. Hmm, yes that seems like a lot BUT! Ok just got distracted and looked up places where I wantz to play in the autumn.

Oh man, I really need to get working.... though I'm so tired and sick, etc.
