Romantech and the Escape From the Haunted Dojo

by Matt Romantech on December 19, 2009

So obviously losing the plot, but that’s okay because I’m artistic. It’s true.

Sometimes I’m like well I could blow my brains out or drop dead if it was the easiest solution, but I’m not sure that it is. I got my tunes, y’know. Not that you’d know about it from this blog. I tend to go on about a lot of stuff but waht about this music thing?

Well I been in it for awhile, I been writing my tunes, but the thing is it’s existence and experience that pushes creativity forward, maybe that’s why that many people aren’t creative, because they can’t conjure it out of their circumstances but I’m at the other end.

I’m perfectly capable of writing something mediocre but to me this blog and all this other reaching I do is all about creating the conditions to write better music, to proceed beyond the boundaries that I’ve previously become accustomed to through the growth of my skill and understanding of what it is exactly I’m trying to do.

Yeah sure I’m trying to write great music but I believe to be a real artist you’ve got to live great music. Which is fine, because I do well in business and I’ve dealt with that, now it’s time to move beyond that, refining my circumstances because I believe it will take me forward creatively.

I bailed form my office in Kingsland and I’ve been up in K rd but the unsettled vibe has meant I’ve been unsettled moving forward with my music considering there’s just this morass that is the dojo inspectors.

The Dojo Inspectors must be appeased, their restless spirits must sleep. Immediately looking to 2010 how can I rest knowing the Dojo Inspectors still stalk the night, screaming with voices that demand to be heard?

Well we have to finish enginerring all the tunes because right now the programming is basically complete it’s just hard questions to tackle over whether we’ve done enough to be happy with the outcome we’re producing.

Because the ultimate outcome is right now, I guess, to move on, but it’s not much of an outcome to say we spent most of the back end of 2009 coming up with a 30 track mix that wasn’t that great.

We’re going to have to revisit and renew our efforts.

John’s doing the engineering. I’m committed to focusing on the all important worrying and fretting. That’s where my essential contribution is coming from a this point.
