In part it's because I've been focusing more on producing audio and have spent less time documenting passing interests on here.
Another part might be the demise of blogging, a trend I've resisted but can see that other websites have stolen a lot of the audience.
Why have a one-sided conversation on here when I can get a better response on Facebook? (Well, sometimes I want a one-sided conversation, I guess; and other times I use this site as a way to capture stuff.)
Anyway, this year was a good year for my audio productions. A few tracks came out on US-based releases, as well as a couple of self-produced ones.
Another highlight was remixing an apple for the Art Misadventure #3 exhibition at The Roxy.
Western Riverina Arts commissioned me to create a soundtrack for their Reimagining the Murrumbidgee exhibition and then gave me a part-time job, duties for which included designing the catalogue and promoting the show.
I returned to the playgrounds to produce more material for the Centenary of Leeton although I ditched the idea of screening in The Roxy and organised projections on a couple of water towers, like Metropolis in 2011.
The album WHILE brought together some of the better tracks produced for the first 100 Disquiet Juntos.
And I experimented with producing videos for the Junto but found not every project suited this medium.
At the beginning of the year I also experimented with keeping a sketchbook diary and published a few examples. It was fun but time-consuming, though I'm considering returning to the activity next month.
Experimentation continued with reviews of alcoholic drinks in haiku poetry:
The pop and the fizz
illustrate detonating
deeply tanned berries
Moonlighting as a small business called Witch Media led me to make a TVC for Bidgee Binge which put my bass-playing on air, a track that resulted from a Junto.
Yeah, it's been a good year. You can find a bit more about my 2013 here and it will explain these 12 five-second sections of audio:
All the best in 2014 :)
