New Jotter

Yesterday there was a turning point in my life.

Turning points don't have to be big, one off, special occasions. They can happen everyday, with every decision you make.

My one yesterday was that, as I wandered into town to kill some time on my lunch-break, I decided to pop into Smiths and purchase a new notebook. My old one was now full with lyrics and poetry, some of which, in fact, most of which, dates back to my second year of college over two years ago.

As I walked back to work with my new notebook, I couldn't help planning the wonderful projects, songs and ideas that will unfold themselves over those fresh white pages.

I know its a little cliche to say it but a blank canvas holds so much potential. The possibilities are endless and it all has to start with you simply obtaining that fresh, clear space to outline your ideas.

My first project is basically a short suspense story. I originally conceived the idea as a potential short film plot but I am now planning on handing the completed idea over to artist Steve Mahn to hopefully inspire him to produce some illustrations relating to the plot. I am also going to follow the plot using some ambient field recordings to produce an accompanying soundtrack for the story.

All of this will of course be explored and developed in my new notebook.
