DOJO INSPECTORS – THE OFFICIAL FULL LENGTH 30 TRACK MIXTAPE SAMPLER FROM SOUL SCIENCE AVAILABLE . . . AT SOME STAGE . . . SOON . . . I PROMISE
See that’s the kind of guy I am, I whinge about the spirits of dead dojo inspectors calling my name from the grave, when really I should be blogging about how ye blessed gods bestowed upon me the gift of treasures beyond value, my history, my past, my experience, my reality . . . but not my ability to pad things out dramatically, they couldn’t take that away in the first place!
Anyway, i got my hard drive back and I’ve pretty much got all my old songs back, 06 to early 08, Which is really great news there were 3 songs on there I really wanted to include on the Dojo Inspectors mix to provide teh comprehensive Soul Science experience, but yeah not to mention like maybe 100 other decent songs and all sorts of ancient goodies.
But that kind of brings me round to another related subject, that since I’m going mad haunted by dojo demons, and John is procrastinating over engineering 30 songs which I won’t quit worrying about and fussing coming to bare on due to my general anxious doubting nature.
That subject being the archiving process, which I was very committed to, establishing some basic accounts of what I was doing and the music I made when and why just because I guess . . . well at first it was the same as this dojo inspectors I could barely make sense of what I’ve already done which doesn’t help in trying to perceive what I’m getting at.
Sorting it out would be good, but also I feel for posterity, because when I’m dead, and even when I’m old, I want random characters to be able to come to my site and see that in 2003 I was doing this and that with these dudes and this was the music I made that you can download and these were the events and stuff that effected my work and what I ended up doing.
So yeah, archiving I’d like to do some because it does get harder as you get older, you turn around and 5 years has gone by and you forgot about that thing, and you can no longer get a copy of this thing, and . . . but . . . gosh if only you had known in advance it would be real sweet for my archive when I’m 60 and talking to people about my life.
That was my life. I didn’t want to go crazy, I wanted to express my thoughts and idas and memories in creative ways and then well I discovered deep down that being poor was not really right for me either so there was art and business and that’s what my archive is all about, looking back with resolve, and turning to the future.
Vut I also feel strongly that in teh words of Kenny Rogers “There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’ is done”
Listen to me going all out on the archiving when I haven’t even produced a significant work which of course was the intention of dojo inspectors, to simply be a significant work in my catalogue. 30 tune mix.
THIRTY TUNES.
Now where the hell are they?
Well it’s like this.
Singles come out first. Or maybe no because that might be too humiliating, maybe just go head on into promoting the mix, but I guess one way or the other we need to make singles available.
Maybe not the 4 track disc we originally planned but just a disc with as many of the different singles on it we want to make available for DJ use.
Website needs to be brought up to some kind of standard for real. It needs to come up to the standard where I can promote through my wonderful marketingz, but also it’s got to be a good site to want to check out.
I suppose a small media push would be worthwhile, just to see how it goes.
The final step is the production of 1000 CD’s for distribution, that’s where trademe or any other gimmicky stuff we’d want to do would come in.
What else is there? Nothing else really. I just keep doing my little online marketings, everyone who can and should will have a cd and you never know we might have a tiny little bit more recognition and a tiny little bit more respect for actually getting it done and having people here the damn thing.
