</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong><a href="http://romantech.co.nz/blog/2010/01/more-ideas-for-developing-romantechs-website/">drum and bass website</a></strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I am trying to come up with concepts for the romantech website because y&#8217;know I want to follow that plan I had of basically this sprawling archive that I might update in a few years and then an upfront section which I&#8217;ll update the design for every 6 months because it will just be a handful of pages and I&#8217;ll probably just riff on whatever art is linked with a release or project I&#8217;m coming out with at the time which I guess will be roughly, hopefully, every 6 months.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">But I still need to conjure up the vibe when they come to the site, like, I get this concept, y&#8217;know they don&#8217;t just come to the romantech site for the music because that&#8217;s not my vibe, not just music.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Y&#8217;know there&#8217;s the archive, and the content, and the website design, and finally the vibe. That&#8217;s the four factors. The last factor is the vibe of that dude approaching you in the street, what do you want?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">What is this about? What am I here for? Well I think I&#8217;ve got my own answers but only in the telling of a story in which I look very for them very hard.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Of which this blog is the precursor.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The not just music factor is large because the music factor is kind of linear. Make songs, pay to get them mastered, or not, just release on a mix, and master that as some sort of package, bundle.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The not music is a conversation. An ongoing discussion.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So say the archive is all done and i&#8217;m like, okay, you&#8217;re on my site. What is it saying? Maybe it&#8217;s a non musical talk that needs to happen. The music speaks for itself, but what about the nonmusic?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">A lot of qurky arty styles rely on kind of this non explained space, maybe I&#8217;ll go with that. I don&#8217;t have to tell people what I&#8217;m doing or who I am, I don&#8217;t need to explain myself.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Oh okay? But what about y&#8217;know letting people understand your stuff? Well that&#8217;s kind of a matter of refinement. I guess.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That&#8217;s where it comes back to conversation and discussion. Maybe I just have to charge forward with my video and let that do the talking. But whats the vibe for my site?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Video. Maybe I need video to drive the vibe and that way the only thing I need to worry about is that the design isn&#8217;t tacky and that . . . no no, it doesn&#8217;t matter how I say it, it&#8217;s what I say. So even if there isn&#8217;t some big deal in terms of design and presentation on the site, I still need intent.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I&#8217;m gonna work on that. Intent.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">so when I buy something cool for my business, it increases the value of the business minus depreciation, right? So even when I&#8217;m spending money, I&#8217;m not only getting a tax write off, but I&#8217;m adding the rest of the value to the business.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Yeah some business stuff, that just came in at the end there. Oh well. My blog that I spend a lot of time not putting nay effort into.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Whatever!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">More kind of barely lucid writings coming up. Y&#8217;know, geniuses back in the day had their diaries, journals, they were all arty in that manner. And I do too. It doesn&#8217;t make much sense but hey.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t even really know whats going on with this so called update.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s probably not a big deal that i didn&#8217;t update for almost 3 weeks, but I did do a whole lot of writing offline, because of my new idea of just writing and using it for marketing and maybe posting whatever I liked here so that didn&#8217;t make me seem like I was constantly under strain, when y&#8217;know - I&#8217;m just sorting out my affairs. I&#8217;m very thorough.</p>
<p>Except, as it turns out,  where I&#8217;ve just got ideas and postings all flying and I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure it matters that much. One day I&#8217;ll sort it all out if it actually seems like anything of consequence is happening.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not very interesting though, it&#8217;s just endless garble. I need to take that positive step of writing interestingly.</p>
<p>At the moment I&#8217;m truly just dialling it in and letting things in my mind ooze out without really addressing them with any kind of commitment.</p>
<p>But there are always lots of ideas and you should think about them, they could be good for getting things you want. Y&#8217;know. It&#8217;s like as I progress it becomes harder to breakthrough and have new ideas, so there needs to be more thinking and more writing.</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s all about the next step, the transition, the progress, the development, and right now the choice for me seem to be actually move forward or not. I need to take me art to a more serious place knowing that for me and my businesses, money is good, but I need to seek more artistic purity away from scenic nonsense, in the hope that I will draw the motivation I need to see me through to doing my own thing, my own way.</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So what&#8217;s my own thing? Doing my tunes in a focused way, producing every week, pushing regular good stuff through my site, and building fans, building relationships and building up my thing until they do ask me to play gigs again, or filming video becomes the new axis driving forward performance and gigging.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Anyway.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">No fossicking about. What have we learned? First, I give up on the gig scene game. For now. It&#8217;s hard to say it, but I got better chances and more game in other arenas and I&#8217;m not closing any doors, but I certainly won&#8217;t be kicking any in when it comes to the auckland gig scene.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Because I&#8217;m sweet for cash I just want to get into my own art scene not some other thing where I&#8217;m not involved, and it&#8217;s all a big drag. I have to get the motivation to get on with the video of my art and all that.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Music, Video, Website.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">“Tough Love” Mix CD&#8217;s are 	flying out, they&#8217;ll be at 7 cafe, Grey Lynn, some other places, UPfm 	lobby in symonds st., probably put some downin Handmade burgers, 	people beats movement . . .</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">There are artistic vibes about. 	Darcy and Shane are doing their film “Godspell&#8221;, Scott and 	Harry are moving to Westport to fish and write beats, Chris from 	Timaru is making &#8220;3beat&#8221; and &#8220;threefixing&#8221;, 	there are other people around too. Just been running around, seeing 	stuff, and I want to be in with the art that&#8217;s happening, not where 	the art isn&#8217;t happening and dudes are just lying around.</p>
</li>
<li>DJ Asides has been staying and it&#8217;s been an opportunity to 	see and learn - samples, mixing, production, songwriting, picking up 	little bits of stuff.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The gigs have not been going well 	recently. I&#8217;m over it, I&#8217;ll still be keen to perform but I don&#8217;t 	want to pursue too actively because I want to more real art stuff.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what updateski season is if it&#8217;s not this blog post, but we&#8217;ve got a whole lot of updates, so there&#8217;s stuff, and I&#8217;m talking about it.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the news? Well I guess, I&#8217;ve decided to put the foot down and stand up for real art. This year I was dillying and dallying and wondering and wandering  and not getting anything done, but once the money started coming in from business again I snapped back.</p>
<p>And now I feel i&#8217;m confident to quit messing around and just follow the direction of the real art.</p>
<p>So down to the updateskiing . . .</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Hey yo been a little while since I posted on the romantech blog but I have been writing heaps, just not posting it, because I&#8217;m pretty happy with the strategy of using my therapuetic writing sessions for marketing purposes.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It&#8217;s kind of complicated unless you know about internet marketing, so I won&#8217;t go into it, but it also meant less whinging on my blog – because, as I said, I blog for therapeutic reasons, which often means lots of analyzing problems – which often sounds exactly lke moaning and complaining – and I don&#8217;t know if I want to represent that vibe on my blog, that I just worry and complain all the time.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">But I am pretty sure I&#8217;m in transition now, to a new standard of lifestyle and although I&#8217;m grateful for everything it&#8217;s time to star prioritizing and really living artfulness in new ways.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I&#8217;ve seen enough and I accept my shortcomings, until I have options I will have to continue to play to my strengths, in fact almost be dictated to only engaging in areas and strategies that favour my natural terrain.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I can make a lot of densely melodic beats and I&#8217;m getting faster. I just need to keep doing that and then my only problem becomes about when I want to spend the money getting the appropriate mastering done.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I&#8217;ll still want to put out a couple of mixes each year I reckon so I will need a budget for that.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Otherwise I don&#8217;t know about the gigs. Well I need to be committed to growth and development, otherwise I&#8217;m not happy.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And if i&#8217;m not happy well that sucks. Why be unhappy when the happy option exists? Because it&#8217;s hard to be happy? Because people, in general, are never happy?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Well sure, but that doesn&#8217;t mean not to try. I see it there within reach. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m reaching. And it&#8217;s not nice to be slapped down and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m finding with drum and bass.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">If you keep reaching and getting slapped down, it becomes demoralizing, something isn&#8217;t right.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I will always do my tunes, but I&#8217;m not going to put on parties if they don&#8217;t make me feel good, because I believe in gaining strength and momentum. I know this is how I work.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Initiative and momentum on the front foot is everything.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So what about gigs? I can&#8217;t fall into the trap of thinking I can do it by myself. What&#8217;s the point of even having gigs if the scene isn&#8217;t behind you?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I&#8217;d raher just have shoots and if they turn into parties then all good. I&#8217;d rather do something I&#8217;m inspired by and if it catches on then all good, if not, oh well. If you&#8217;re just jumping on some bandwagon or aiming for something false then of course you&#8217;ll be disappointed when you fail.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">If it&#8217;s real, you&#8217;ll just be more determined than ever.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

</li>
<li></li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Hi all, haven&#8217;t been posting much on the romantech blog and there&#8217;s kind of a bunch of  reasons for that . Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s not permanent, just working it out.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I was feeling pretty angsty mainly because it was christmas and january and that&#8217;s a time of the year when I make the least money, and also stuff was happening with my living arrangements and my BMW collection that was hitting me in the pocket so I had a bit of a “poor” mindset going on which put me a little bit crook because if you know me, I&#8217;m at my best when I&#8217;m banking.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Not making money makes me nervous. Jumpy.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I can&#8217;t help myself! I always get paranoid every january that the business will lull and it won&#8217;t come back. But it&#8217;s coming back, and at the back of my mind, I prepare to deal with issues I&#8217;ve foreseen and come to the perimeter of in the past – like getting a secretary who just basically deals with problems.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Picking up where we left off, I activated the strategy I discussed earlier in the blog that endless frustrated outpourings just weren&#8217;t doing it for this blog. It wasn&#8217;t the right vibe. So I decided to use that energy toward my business and try and keep it a bit more together around here. That kind of played out, but when I started making money again I sort of well got more into it rather than just sitting moaning.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong>Crying Over Uninspected Dojo&#8217;s</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It comes back to the whole Dojo Inspectors thing. It&#8217;s been hard. The fact that it shouldn&#8217;t be is the reason that it is. See? Complicated stuff. But y&#8217;know it seriously bums me out that it hasn&#8217;t come together. That wasn&#8217;t my expectation, and it brings me down, makes me feel negative, blocks me up creatively.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Already I&#8217;ve started laying down new tunes, more tunes coming from the minimalist deepstep direction – exit recordings, autonomic all that business and all the liquid on the dojo inspectors release sounds old, it sounds like what might have been good in 2007.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Lenzman and S.P.Y. are doing their thing pushing the sound and anyway, I didn&#8217;t want to get left behind I had to move forward, except for this release that never happened that was supposed to close the book on the last few years work, and having established myself in business now, to be able to begin my production career in earnest.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">But no, basically. And it&#8217;s effected me, and still effects me because business and making money is rewarding and the energy is positive and the momentum flows. Whereas projects you&#8217;ve poured so much effort into that don&#8217;t eventuate just make you feel bummed, and the energy dissipates, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s happened, is happening. and I just need to avoid this swamp of failure altogether.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m thinking I have to be more independent and uncompromising. Sure i&#8217;m alone without the opportunities I might have, but at least what I&#8217;m doing is really me, and ultimately is more exciting.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So what do I want to do that is different? Make tunes, if they&#8217;re really good pay to have them mastered and if not deal with them on a mix and deal with that. It doesn&#8217;t really matter if it&#8217;s Soul Science or Romantech.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I&#8217;m going to do my videos and my blogs and look to that to inspire people who are interested in what I&#8217;m doing, not rely on some bunch of pricks to decide whether they like me enough or I&#8217;ve kissed enough ass to push me out there. That shit brings me down. End up looking bad because you&#8217;re trying to be something you&#8217;re not – one of them!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So writing tunes is important, but where schmoozing and scenery will be less important, building depth through secondary content will take it&#8217;s place. Keeping it real. Like seriously, not just like, when it suits. Delivering and representing a high standard.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">But video will be hard. I was working on scripting recently and realised that it&#8217;s all a lot harder than I tend to think. It&#8217;s going to take work to get serious about video, again, another reason why all this scenery just is not for me.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I don&#8217;t have any fantasies, really, if I ever got asked to pay overseas as a result of my stuff coming out then that would great. But i&#8217;d be happy just to know there&#8217;s 50 people in auckland, 500 people in new zealand, 5000 people around the world who are into my stuff, and make an effort to get the music, or come to see me play or whatever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So the key to developing the main romantech site is to get stuck into the archives, which I&#8217;m doing but I&#8217;m not really getting right now - why am I writing all this stuff out again?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">because in years to come, when and if people choose to delve they&#8217;ll find depth. As I move forward I&#8217;ll always hark back and the reference will be there. If I remix Hazel&#8217;s voice or drop a new version of a tune I did on Data:bass at a gig in 5 years from now I want people to be able to reference the original &#8220;Nag Champa&#8221; or &#8220;Almost Home&#8221; or whatever.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">With both sites soul science and romantech the front end is built to promote the front end content.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Sign up for the list, get the latest download which will be Dojo inspectors, see videos, find out about the next gig, and any other news.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">That&#8217;s our front that is rotating, after it rotates off the front in joins the archive which is a back end reference centre. You can reference a chronological timeline, galleries, videos, podcasts, tunes, mixes, it will be a wiki type deal.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">An individual tune may not have it&#8217;s own page, but it will have it&#8217;s own reference to the project or era it was associated with.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So the <a href="data:Bass">Data:Bass</a> Net era might have it&#8217;s own page, but then later  links to pages for each album will come out. And the album might then link to the page for the song “Almost Home”.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So initially it&#8217;ll be raw, with broad umbrella subjects. But slowly i&#8217;ll add pages for each reference on the timeline, and to other reference bases such as song references, gig references, etc.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I&#8217;ll add a page for mixes, and then a page for each mix, Oceanic Chill,Lickwicked,Special Times, Such Heavy Wings, Each Short Circuit – I guess everything that&#8217;s mentioned aside from each individual gig will have it&#8217;s own page, they&#8217;ll have their own pages with the tunes featured.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I&#8217;ll just keep adding pages and references and linking. But then there will also be a chronological list of songs for straight downloading etc.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p>Each individual gig is not likely to be referenced unless it was a major gig with photo content etc.or each song. Gigs will likely to associated with a period and songs with a release or a certai n period.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">But also I want to be able to tackle certain concepts such as myspace etc. when electroclash became involved etc. I think I&#8217;ll finish the timeline and then think about that.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The visual vibe I guess is magazine style, but to be progressive, video space must dominate. SO the design and imagery is composed toward the video player, but space for variable amounts of writing, a menu bar and a bar for accessing music content must be a default standard, and possibly social media integration.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">SO I think I need a modest timeless design for the archive and that way any updates can be focused on the front end.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">home page, landing page, music, bio, performance, y&#8217;know all the important stuff, and y&#8217;know the blog will have it&#8217;s own design also so you&#8217;ve got the 3 attachments so it doens&#8217;t become too challenging when you want to update the design, sections at a time, with the front section obviously being the priority.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">There will probably 2-3 major releases each year which I&#8217;ll use as the basis of the front end design.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Right now I am really trying to bring both the Soul Science and Romantech websites up a level because this time of year may be the only chance I get but I&#8217;m not quite sure what it is I&#8217;m supposed to do, so I thought I&#8217;d make a list to help me out.</p>
<p>- tunes, primary content and access to tunes through players and widgets - obviously this is the big one - having some music to present. With the Soul Science site that all begins with the official release of the Dojo Inspectors, with Romantech I guess I&#8217;ll be pushing Dojo Inspectors also but also I want to fill out my archive.</p>
<p>so it&#8217;s about having the content then making that content downloadable or streamable through a platform and then integrating that into the site in a practical and aesthetically pleasing way.</p>
<p>And the end of the day, helping the fans to get the music is the goal.</p>
<p>- design - I don&#8217;t really want to tackle this without a designer otherwise it&#8217;s just going to take hours to probably achieve a mediocre result. I want to kind of have an objective idea of how to move forward rather than having some design in mind I want to try different things.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t really want to be too clever I just want the site to be functional and use some striking imagery.</p>
<p>it&#8217;s achieving that balance between looking awesome but still being easy for visitors to get what they want.</p>
<p>With the Soul Science site we have some good shots we can use but for the Romantech site I might go for a big rehaul.</p>
<p>- sweet as landing page and sign up. This is a sweet as landing page directed to people coming to the site and to the brand fresh so it won&#8217;t be a front page ting.</p>
<p>- galleries - I had been using flickr for this but you can only have 200 pics up so I don&#8217;t know how handy that will be long term</p>
<p>- archive is mainly for the Romantech site, because obviously Soul Science doesn&#8217;t really need an archive except for where our gigs are concerned. Whereas the Romanech site I want to use the archive as a basis of all the content to</p>
<p>- performance - both the sites need a page for thoroughly detailing performance conditions and costs</p>
<p>- gigs - how can the website be best used for promoting gigs? Email is not particularly effective unless you set up and auckland list specifically. upcoming gigs need to be on the front page and each gig we&#8217;re promoting has to have it&#8217;s own page.</p>
<p>As each gig passes it moves from the &#8220;latest gig&#8221; section to the archive.</p>
<p>For gigs coming up there has to be facebook connections which is where a lot the online promotion for the gigs we do happens.</p>
<p>So that leaves the following list:</p>
<p>- write up for landing pages</p>
<p>- performance pages</p>
<p>- buttons and design for downloadable content</p>
<p>- integration with facebook, twitter etc.</p>
<p>- archives set up with relative galleries and content</p>
<p>- set up of primary music content for presentation and distribution</p>
<p>- final redesign for presentation including photos</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you read my blog regularly which I pray and hopefully assume no one actually does, you&#8217;ll probably notice I spend a lot of time complaining, whinging, whining, moaning etc. because I don&#8217;t have everything I want, and sometimes I complain because I do. That&#8217;s just the way I am.</p>
<p>I think Karl Lagerfeld made some comment about the need to find dissatisfaction in your work in order to drive the need to improve. I&#8217;m totally like that, I&#8217;ll never be happy, that&#8217;s the curse of ambition.</p>
<p>But I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s bringing the right vibe to my art because remember this blog is kind of like a sandpit where I can play with ideas while developing music and video and pushing forward episodic content that&#8217;s neatly presented and executed however basically.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know how much pouring forth about general untethered disappointment does for my image, I mean, y&#8217;know. That&#8217;s not the vibe I want to project with my art. Hope, yes. Light amidst the darkness, gold amongst the shit, I identify with that.</p>
<p>But artistically th eprojection, the depiction is not balanced, accurate in it&#8217;s narrative property.</p>
<p>In a normal narrative this would be glossed over in a paragraph, not turned into a years worth of blog entries of what&#8217;s wrong with Romantech today or what romantech doesn&#8217;t like.</p>
<p>But now we have a high powered new technological solution to filing away all this super important information under &#8220;self indulgent crap&#8221;, so feel free to laugh along as we nuke buzzkilling drivel on this blog and ship it off wholesale to eek it&#8217;s existance out in some dreadful gulag style labour camp as pigfeed for google search rankings and article marketing.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s deviously delicious. In one fell swoop all this indulgence about me doing my ludicrously idealistic pining for some non existant perfected lifescuplting is removed from my artist blog so I can maintain the projection of a respectable artist.</p>
<p>And all this nonsense is dispatched to some use building my business, because it&#8217;s not as if I don&#8217;t sit there thinking, well, y&#8217;know if everything was sorted out then I wouldn&#8217;t have anything to moan about, and just venting on my blog, y&#8217;know is it really achieveing anything?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not suitable to not be making progress, so now we&#8217;ve found a positive way of how I describe as &#8220;farming out&#8221; all this nonsense I have to process as y&#8217;know an artistic individual but at least this way if I ever get fans I&#8217;m not continually burdening them with it.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m going to post it here anyway for a little while at least so the record can show that it&#8217;s not like a sit around distraught and overwhelmed by the endless quest for something more. I forge forth. That&#8217;s right. Y&#8217;know? There&#8217;s always a better way.</p>
<p>At the end of the day it&#8217;s about getting business done, not wondering whether that reason that you felt weird then was some weird thing and why and stuff. Y&#8217;know, what good is that. I mean it is some good, it&#8217;s like panning for gold you do slowly turn up information and perspectives that may be useful, but I think I&#8217;d be much better serving my goals if I showed up for work at the romantech website with my nonsense all sorted out so I can throw down some real talk rather than obsessing over some trivialities.</p>
<p>But my idea is also funny and creative too, although that&#8217;s a total flight of fancy but y&#8217;know, why not harbour a gleeful thought that some random individuals will eventually decipher where all this hidden nonsense was shipped off to and depply hidden vibes will lurk there in.</p>
<p>Anything with steam behind it can power through. If I&#8217;m motivated by the idea that I&#8217;m actually moving forward - especially if I actually am - it&#8217;ll be more effective because I can actually apply myself with vigour, which I&#8217;m very good at, maybe even as good as I am at being self indulgent and obsessive.</p>
<p>But on this blog, it&#8217;s about art and keeping art from breaking down into mundane biography and self portraiture,however I don&#8217;t mind painting a brief portrait of the artist, as ambattled by motivations both artistic and economic, but steadfastly and resolutely seeking solutions.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Okay I&#8217;ve my little episode, I&#8217;m returning to normality. Let&#8217;s get out there and kick some butt futuristically and funkily!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">What do we want to do in 2010?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong>Finish Dojo Inspectors</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Must do, top priority, gotta push through and deliver something that will hold up. Alreaady started on the final push today polsihing up those minimal tunes.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong>Promote Dojo Inspectors + Email List</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Can&#8217;t just move on, put it out and forget about it. Dojo Inspectors is the leverage to start promoting more actively</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong>Release New tunes</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">There&#8217;s really nothing more to it. Dojo becoms the standard release, high standard new singles will build on our reputation. really think we need to get some vocalists in.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong>Release an experimental/deep/minimal  project</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">This is a concept which is a space to fully embrace the corners of our sound without letting it invade our dancefloor mainstay especiallly the concept of hibernating for the winter and producing a twisted weird and beautiful thing for listening pleasure seems to suit.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I think the idea is an EP with a mix of everything with what didn&#8217;t make the EP, plus suitable stuff from Dojo Inspectors to pad it out.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong>Bass</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Taking up bass in 2010 will be a challenge. Get the bass, then look at where it can be applied but why? So on tour I can take my sets wildly off on this electronic alt country trip hop dubstep vibe and in 10 years I can still be doing it and surprising people when a dj set goes live or a live set turns into a rave out.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong>Tour</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I need to bring the team together for touring maybe mid year and tie it with a beat dungeon comp I&#8217;m thinking but it&#8217;s all about convergent goals.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong>Flow</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Need to creative flow happening in the space by feeding individuals with talent from the network into the creative grid.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong>Podcasts</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Already dropped one mix with the new tough love, the idea is to have a podcast or a free tune variegating alternate months</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong>2<sup>nd</sup> full length mix OR continued singles?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Whatever happens, must keep releasing hot new singles for free online pushing toward a point at some stage where one will get picked but until then, the tunes are likely to keep building up until next october when there&#8217;ll likely be enough to push us to want to do a dojo inspectors style release again.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&lt;!&#8211; 		@page { margin: 0.79in } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } 	&#8211;&gt;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Okay this is the official Romantech blog post about the detonate festival where I try to stay on topic and avoid sinking into the metaphysical relativity of uber-capitalist post modern hedonistic lifestyles, or y&#8217;know all that self indulgent crap I&#8217;m trying to cut down on on this blog.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">This little therapy session is over, and we are certainly living in the future in case you didn&#8217;t know but I think I just think that because I&#8217;m old. Well “youngish” as opposed to being young. Hate being “youngish”. But i&#8217;ll live with it and stop grinding it over.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Because today we&#8217;re not here for deep meaningful new years discussion and personal assessment we&#8217;ll just be discussing the Detonate festival in Urenui, just out of New Plymouth.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">At the end of the day I played a good set and the crowd got into it, that&#8217;s the most important thing. Ultimately that&#8217;s why I do it. When I&#8217;m killing it in the mix and the crowd are going off and feeling it, I&#8217;m getting high on that vibe and getting fully energised and vibed up.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The weather was great what other interesting things of note are their to mention?</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The event organiser Natalie was a delight and there were lots of explosions going off for the “detonate” part of the festival which provided a bit of novelty, especially the momentary dissonance between seeing the explosion, hearing the sound and feeling the heatwave.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">There was a nice little backstage area but we didn&#8217;t end up there much for some reason, there were lots of treats, but also lots of rockers posing off. I took my camera and interviewed Clap Clap Riot briefly. I think they did a devo cover which was pretty sweet.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I kept a look our for These Four Walls as Ambrozia&#8217;s cousin is in the band apparently. As a pretty textbook post-emo hey kinda veered, I liked their overblown stuff and there was good balance between</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We met a guy named Terry who tagged along with us a fair bit telling us we needed to visit Nova Scotia “off the coast of Switzerland” where apparently there are phenomenal looking women throwing themselves after the kiwi accent. Funny dude.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I think the guys before us were Hedline and MC Felony, they were older guys and the DJ, Hedline, had only been playing out for 9 months but he was still holding down a big party electro breaks vibe when we jumped on at 10pm, and the crowd were well into it, he;s managed to build it from nothing as it had been pretty hot during the day with some tech house guys and the Professor playing funk, house and funky breaks.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Some trashy bird jumped up in the booth while I was playing and started asking me about DJing and standing next to me so I instantly started putting a hard mack down on her and rubbing her butt</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">There were quite a few significantly good looking women there who were just going crazy to the music all night, they weren&#8217;t hanging round with their friends they were just there getting into it, good company really. Girls that look like that in Auckland don&#8217;t drop their carefully manicured guard for the merest second.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Those New Plymouth girls though, the tans on them! Witnessed some amazingly well sunned young ladies in attendance.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The midnight fireworks were great because it was short and sweet, they didn&#8217;t play it out, they just put up as many fireworks as they could in the shortest space, which was really effective.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">And that&#8217;s about as much as i can be botheres writing to be honest.</p>
