Artistic Time Travelling Tongue Blog

by Matt Romantech on September 2, 2010

It’s time to get this place cleaned up. You can’t be afraid to live the life you always wanted or you’ll just end up hating yourself.

We’re shipping off the refugees and the prisoners and the rutting and rotting bonebags to lerch off elsewhere and moan about whatever it is they want, lust for riches and fleshly pleasures may begone, I prithee take your leave.

This is an art blog. No one is standing in the way of art and so it shall be. Is lifestyle art? If lifestyle is artistic and lends itself to creativity well I guess that’s okay.

Maybe that’s what I really need to work on. Not working.


Not working, but living!

I need to experiment with working in more diverse scenarios, so I can cope with being flexible in my environment when I am working.

Get my big 3g topped up just so I can practice skyping clients in weird places and doing such things naturally, but then wasn’t this supposed to be an art blog not some kind of productivity nonsense?

look, i’m trying to free my self from dependency on sales and dealing with clients and supervising stuff so I can do the living part, blog about it elsewhere, and just worry about art here.

Art! Art! Art!

The life aesthetic.

But it’s not just about the logistics of the freedom in working, but also those same conditions for doing creative work such as music and video.

I can write anywhere and that’s fine but we need to think beyond that so I can roll on and still produce new music and new videos, because right now I can’t produce jack, and I’m not even sleeping on couches, in hotel rooms, in weird countries with weird stuff going on.

Think about my costs if I was in a different country.

You see if here I . . . Man my lifestyle is depressingly about work. But hey, y’know poverty, deprevation, who needs it?

I don’t want to spoil myself I’m just holding the weight and feeling the contoured surfaces of what freedom could be.

If I spend $700 in expenses a week here, then that might be $200 in some other country, I’d only need to be making $1200 back home and pay me expenses and save $1000.

I could go for a holiday to the phillipines just to pimp out all my websites and . . . okay thats enough.

But the freedom to travel like that, yeah, I should try and work it out. Work out how to work on doing less.

And doing more art. Being more art.

not even fixing the grill on my other beamer (see bg pic) for next photos. So 1 of my beamerz got a grill missing? Whut it do? We gangzin yo

BUT ONLY A YEAR AGO IN THE TIME TRAVELLING ANACHRONISTIC? No, ACHRONOLOGICAL JOURNEYS OF ROMANTECH:

I’m very upset that my youtube blog from last night hasn’t posted.

I didn’t no who else to turn to. No use crying over spilt milk. Well I dunno. I’m like, y’know, artistic. I’m easily unsettled.

Today I think I said – I just felt very confined. I start to feel restrained by my business sometimes. It’s natural because deep down I know it’s what I have to do.


How boring why don’t you do something about it like travel through time and speak in tongues?

Unsettled. I’ll unsettle you. Anyway. That’s the point. I just had to sit there and do my business all the time before, now I finally have the chance to find out how I can go days . . . or well at least hours without even thinking about work . . . i’d like to be time travelling already . . .

WHAT?

what would I do? I’m sure i’d think of something. Practice going off and seeing what happens.

We have to bring the tiger penis back into the equation. The tiger penis is a chance and it’s a hustle. I just need to get ready to do this. If I can do this in auckland I can do it all around the country.

That’s art in it’s own way. There must be some inspiration in there.

Time Travelling Narrative Style

by Matt Romantech on August 29, 2010

I tried to travel through time but it didn’t work.

Perhaps I look foolish. I don’t feel silly. I started to do some stylistic stuff, which gave me a bit of a spark, doing things differently, and a little more thoughtlessly, more about flow. Trying something different.


I obviously still want to be artistic but I just seem to want to write right now and not so much music. It’s the thrill of just banging it out, I just write so much now, and now I’m starting to think about how it works out, because I must be getting better. And some stage you breakout and evolve and I saw what I was doing just before as changing and progressing, and perhaps bringing more art, more flourish, more illustration and less kind of navel gazing, boring, petulant, y’know, whatever, nonsense.

I think it’ll help my art, because I am looking for something more and I can’t see it . . . yet.

But this is where I am searching.

People might read it, I don’t know. It’s not a big deal. To me I think I said that blogging is like sparring, I’m getting in here, playing with ideas, learning to let ideas flow, because I definitely see how writing and music and video are coming together, and for me it’s most suitable to do what I do.

I don’t really make awesome music. That doesn’t mean it’s not any good, it’s not incredible. Who cares? I make it because I can. I write this here because otherwise I wouldn’t be and it wouldn’t mean anything if I chose to spend this time sitting lost in my thoughts instead of at least trying to wrestle and box with them here and now.

Does that mean I have to make people like my writing now? Do I think I’m a writer? Damn. Hope not. I just hope that people will see that I refuse to not have my own buzz going on, and I will always do something.

In 2 of my time travelling episodes um stuff happened. Or well something. I was experimenting.

In the first episode I went full blown and traced it once agian back to heavy vibes that demanded my attention, and made no sense. It was possibility whether it a sea or a desert, drowning or dehydrating, something was . . . who would lie back, I fought.

Will strange metaphors be strung into a lifeline?

In the second episode I was packing a sad over some relativity issue and trying to come back to earth or something. I guess I’m just trying new ways to free my mind.

I think you can worry about your image, or allow yourself the freedom to be yourself.

When I was younger and all this was happening I had very bold ideas that perhaps weren’t that stupid. I never thought about money, I didn’t have any.

Did the limits of existance have to be so rigid and arbitrary, was it so indulgent to defy it, was art the only way to board the spaceship to another dimension?

Was it just a pretty toy, a bubble making machine to delight you?

Did I work out now that it is the stories, the endless churning gears that create that heavy force, that pressure on the soul, of narrative, of destiny, of all paths having ends of all possibilities having resolution, of happy endings, or of endings of any scrutability at all?

And so I write, and I wonder what a beat or scene I filmed can really say?

Is it okay to say it was a tigers penis? Is it okay to have a metaphor and then dump it, cut it away, disgard it?

It’s my story I only need to know what I want to say and then choose how I say it.

But writing dumb blogs isn’t anything anyone cares about. Who cares, I’m only sketching, only meditating only weighing different measures and lots. Let me think, what confidence can you have in anything important that is rushed?
