Squeezed out a couple of extra practices w/ Delorean Overdrive and Mana before POW. A lot of commuting and coordination. Needed more sleep. Tried being more active in my stress management to keep avoid health problems. Easy to operate like I did when I was younger. Body can't keep up. Bodily monitoring is difficult when taught to ignore. Trying to implement lessons learned. Many discussions on creativity, communication, art, society, and culture. Still meditating on the thought that in the west, STEM is implemented separately from culture like it is one or the other. Also, art is in doing and abstract embedment of self through the practice, not in the results. Also, authenticity of character derived from wielding of abstractions of communication and everything step between communicator and receiver.
Went to POW on Thursday and had another good year w/ friends and artists a like. Drove friends home. Played on Saturday, talked with friends from out of town and other musicians (Zaku, Gesceap, cheap dinosuar, silva gunner memeber, etc). AL helped run merch. Went well enough. Sold out nights. Help load out w/ D&T. left at 3am both nights. Woke up on Sat. for drive to MT's home up north. Stayed the weekend w/ excellent friends (CK, DN, EF, ?) and AL. Wine, scene organizing, music, movies, life reflection and relaxing in a nice place. Dinner on return w/ T&K, L,R,& P, and AL. Shared news of new friends. piles of tet snappers at door step. walked home w/ AL.

Second try with the new update to Syntakt. This one came out better but, rushed at the end for being short on time. Largely exploring. Work has been feeling less bombastic lately. Found groove with more abstract explorations. Would go back to extend. Tried to shift keys and scales in the song. Would like a third shift at the end to a more wonder inspiring scale.
Second song made at MT's house.
