“I think we communicate only too well, in our silence, in what is unsaid, and that what takes place is a continual evasion, desperate rearguard attempts to keep ourselves to ourselves. Communication is too alarming. To enter into someone else’s life is too frightening. To disclose to others the poverty within us is too fearsome a possibility.”
—Harold Pinter

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through. — Ira Glass

Air “Alone in Kyoto” from Lost in Translation
When I set up #jungle memories archive in mid December I used an incredible online tool called If This Then That to pull every tweet with the hashtag #junglememories. It worked so well that I found out there is a maximum of posts of 250 a day you can publish on the account you are logged in effecting all your tumblelogs if you have more than one. So it cut off this blog and also Ohrweihnachtswurm, a musical xmas calender project because there where way more than 250 tweets a day about Jungle and Drum and Bass related tweets at that time. Which was totally worth it.
If you like the slightly crazy project called Ohrweihnachtswurm - a mashup of a movie song and the eerie, kitschy feeling of Christmas markets in Germany and want to know what songs I had prepared back then just ask me. Did I say something about a treat?
