I started exploring the sound synthesis. The tool I am working with is called SuperCollider. It is freely obtainable. To work and play with it I begun learning the programming language it uses. Am happy about it since I have been planning to start learning a new language. And this is a completely new one!!!
SuperCollider
After downloading the PsyCollider (an instance of SuperCollider which can be run under XP) I commenced with the tutorial files.(Am planning to use it under Linux in the future though...).
At the moment I am getting around the usage of a proper syntax. What I like about it is that the program will not produce any outcome (here I am looking for sound) that I haven't intended for (although in more complex examples shear chaos (shear chaos!!! what a great title for an album...) can be obtained...depends what the intentions of the user are...).
It is like using a computer as a musical instrument. An instrument that I create
myself (by shaping the code that is to be compiled by the computer). What I also
like is that I am very limited with it's usage at the moment. In other words there
are some limits I have to explore first before I will be able to move on, to
transpass? transcend them. It is quite different experience in comparison to using
ready available programmes without knowing their limits, and not having clearly
defined idea what you would like to get (I would call it blind-using).
I think that starting from simplicity, gradually applying new ideas, will give me
good insights into my creations, and at the same time it will be more consciouss
process. And what is important for me the process will stem from the idea, the
realised effect that I would like to achive, rather than be a total improvisation
and "fishing the interesting things out".
I think that this is a pivotal shift in the way I create.
One thing that started me thinkin was the difference between substractive and
additive synthesis. Two totally different approaches. In the first one you start
with a defined source (the one I've been playing with is WhiteNoise.ar) and then
you shape it by removal of specified regions/areas/frequencies of sound field. It
is like making a sculpture out of wood or stone (or any other material), or like
changing the flow of water by application of different barriers, pipes etc.
The second approach, the additive one I would define as sound puzzle, in which you
take small pieces of sound to create a bigger picture/s.
I think that in pure form this are two extreme apporoaches and there are other inbetween. SupperCollider allows the user to decide which approach suits
him/her most.
This is the feature I like about it the most. That I have to make a decision what
do I want to create. And how do I want to create it.
The usage of the programme forces me to discover and learn more about the sound.
About different ways of "looking at sound".
These are adventures in the dimensions of sound!!!Discovering the limits of my own
creativity!!!Experiments!!!

Lazy day today. Woke up about one. Got myself into tidying my house. Kamila was to come for the supper.
Created some new graphics but will have to scan them first...
Kamila came in the evening. I prepared pasta with salmon. Delicious!!! Kamila brought some excellent spanish wine. We had a nice chat.
And that's all folks!!!
Tomorrow got to go to work...Merry Christmas!!!

Meet some BBoys on Friday during Greatest Beats party and...started BBoying with them! Yeah!
Sure fun.
Yesterday went to the Lamp. Great party with oldschool DJ. Dance hall pure essence with some deep bass and drills. Wicked night. Flying on the dancefloor.
Today I woke up late. Started a new composition. Contacted with friends. In the afternoon went out to meet with Luis, Dani and Paz. We watched a movie "Scanner". Philip K. Dick has imagination I have to say. And it was a strange experience watching this movie and realizing that Paz, Louis and I are a part of the establishment that legally sells drugs...
It isn't that easy to be a pharmacist...

Three days of hard work. Probably 'It was me who made it hard'...Change in attitude has enormous impact on your perception and relations with people. It is important to concentrate on things that help you to keep your attitude good or even improve it.
I have diagnosed my complex towards money and people who earn more than me. It is hard for me to talk about money and with people of higher social status than me. I tend to underestimate my own value and depreciate my achievements. This is what I want to change. I want to remember that I am an expert who the people ask the advice from.
I react in a strange way to people's dialogs. It is interesting how their words affect me although they're not directed to me. There is this strange sub-verbal string of information that reaches me and I respond to it. I think that some how I sense this information. The thing is that I want to concentrate more on the direct information that is being delivered rather than on the sub-conscious part of it. I want to be more realistic. This means that I have to learn to listen to people again. It is good experience.
Today some Hudson Mohawke. I am waiting for his new EP under Warp. Soon shipping!!!

Been to the concert Luke Vibert>Squarepusher>LFO.
Disappointment. Luke did well but it wasn't just it. Tom is a phenomenon so it was interesting to see him playing live (just interesting, nothing above that). LFO played short, not that catchy set.
Overall the party wouldn't be that bad, the place is interesting, the public was the biggest disappointment though...Drunk, doped, interested in itself mostly. It didn't feel like partying. No connections between people. And the feeling of hostility towards each other. Animals?
Manchester in the morning is full of zombies...
Probably the only bright point of the day was a Swedish girl in take-away bar...

Hard days have come...Started to work on my own and...first mistakes, first conflicts, first disappointments, first complaints, first troubles (troubles? are these really troubles?). Getting over all of it though. Rethinking my point of view and my life's philosophy. Restating my 'assumptions'.
I heard from one person that I make the work hard and am to harsh to myself. Guess it is true. Will try to simplify and work smarter.
Today am going to Manchester. Warehouse project. SQRPSHR, LFO, LK VBRT. Is this what I live for? Sure it makes my life worth living...

Electricity sorted out. There is hot water and heating as well. Warm and cosy. No electricity in the bathroom though. I have overlooked something, probably. Will double-check that.

WHOA!!! My own new flat!!!
I moved in yesterday. First night was hard and cold (sleeping on a floor under my jacket...yeah!!!).
Still there are some things I have to sort out (water, heating, electricity...) gradually I will organize it. The flat is massive! Already thinking how I am going to furnish it! Hehe! This day gave me a lot of confidence. Feels like home!!!

Grinding down diamonds

Historical day! First performance of Kingston Capoeira! Vanessa, Gary, Alex, Rafał, person x and I!!!We showed some moves and had small Roda during the day for promotion of different cultures at the Lamp.
Although I am quite stressed about the exam and so on I think I am going to pass it. I try to relax, chill out and gain a new perspective on all this stuff. Am looking forward to this week because there are some things, like renting a flat, that I want to finalize.
Am going to ask Chris (my tutor) to move me to another pharmacy for a day or so, so that I could benefit from an experience in a different location. During this week I will also have to undergo a chat about my future holidays. I want to go to Poland in January for a week (guess after New Years Eve).

I am still struggling (with myself mainly) to rent a flat. I made some mistakes initially and now I am paying for it. What I've learned is mine (hope that the price of this experience will not turn out to be unbearable at the end of the day)...
Today I set up a budget for this month. This is how I did it (things that I summed up)
1. the bond and the rent (large sum it is...)
2. the estimated council tax
3. browsed the net for an estimate of cost of water, sewage and electricity (there are some calculators as well: water calculator, energy calculator, there are also some bright ideas how to save the resources e.g. hippo) And finally there is a site that will count my CO2 footprint and at the same time will somehow force me to read my meters imeasure
4. tried to oversee the heating costs (it's winter...)
5. allocated the assets that I am going "to eat". To put it simply, these are the money I will spent on the food (I have been keeping a record of all my spendings in KMyMoney so I am able to foresee some spendings.
This doesn't end the list, there are some other costs that I've predicted. However, I had safeguarded some assets to cover them as well. And it looks like my budget is well balanced! But this is a theory. Now the fun begins and it has to be checked in practice!

Great day at work (but you may not care about that...). And and an adventure while on my way back home. I was doing some shopping in one of the major superhipermegas when I met that girl. Actually I didn't really meet her. She was just there. I was to pass her in the doors where she was struggling with that huge amount of these things and bags, when she asked me for help. And it was that natural. There was laughing and fun. While we were carrying all this 'stuff' to the bus stop she kept repeating 'this is madness!', and I was like 'this is fun'. I was laughing all the way. And it occurred that we were to travel with the same bus...And that moment when we got off the bus and she didn't exactly knew where her house was so she asked me 'Do you know where the Brooklyn is?'. And I was like 'It's in New York' (What the?!). And she meant 'Do you know where the Brooklyn (Street) is?'... It was fun...
No sleep till!!!

What do you think about this type of webistes? Guess it is useful if you want to review what you have seen, or find out the other films by the same director or with same cast (that's what I find useful about it) but plot reading is not for me...(Guess that I should rephrase the question to: 'What do you think about the plot reading before watching a film?')
When I want to see a movie I want to see it without knowing what will happen. In this case film poster is enough for me...

This day was crucial. For couple of reasons. I went for a viewing of an apartment. I decided to take it. Then I was late for work but got a new understanding of my workplace. I am getting used to my future role. Though I still don't feel that confident in it as I would like to, I am beginning to understand what is it all about. I also start to understand what are the others' perceptions about me. It's kinda' funny because I don't like what most of the people think about me and I keep repeating to myself that 'appearances are deceiving'. Thinking of myself I am slowly starting to be more down to earth and realistic. More pragmatic you could say. This is a great experience because I find out a lot of new truths about myself and what is most important for me I am starting to challenge my self-perception. I am going through changes. And I like it. Guess that the maturity begins...
Later in the evening I found couple of mice (Ewa is really afraid of mice and I had to take care of it).
During the training I made myself a bruise on my chin. Looks a little bit funny.
Sometimes I wonder to myself where do I get this drive and energy and willingness to do good from.
I would like to thank my Mother here since she is the only explanation I can find.

Athough when I made this picture I hadn't heard the Squarepusher himself I was aware who whe was. I always thought that it was he whom I had painted.
When I was leaving Poland I thought to myself: 'Yeah now that I am going away Squarepusher or AFX shall come to us and play'. And I was right...
I have never heard his whole album while at home. Now I am looking forward to his new album. Sealed and posted. Just a souvenir...
Though I will not enjoy listening to him with my mates in Poland I decided I want to try him here in UK.

Let me show you the door...I would like you to leave now...
I heard this words today from a letting agent. I went to the agency to complain about the 'misleading' information on their web-site. It was a great lesson. Let's review it.
According to some basic marketing rules:
Client is always right. (The agent told me that I was wrong).
It is good to say sorry to the client more times than it is needed (I didn't hear sorry. Instead I heard the words written above).
The agent suggested that 'there are other companies' (great advertisements for the competitors).
I was verbally forced to leave the bureau (one unsatisfied customer is like...).
The company doesn't update the information on its website (great quality of information provided by the company has 'positive' effect on the standard of services...).
So...What I have learned? Because I have learned something.
When dealing with customers forget about your ego. You are there to help them. The quality of information is essential. Don't promise what you can't deliver. Be ethical. Know your budget. And if you are a customer ask, ask, ask.
Let's try to negotiate! Ah! Let's try to negotiate!

Two days training. During the night we went out to the Tap and Tumbler. That was something completely different. I have enjoyed couple of good pints, bitter and pale. Later, during the conversation with the owner of the Pub I found out that that wasn't the best idea. She told me that when you are going to pub you should decide what you're going to drink and drink it all night, whether this are spirits, wine or beer. We discussed about the anti-tobacco campaign.
My conclusion was:
It is not about 'smoker' or 'non-smoker'. It is about 'where the smoke is'.

Hmmm...Organize...Make it work...Economize...Turn the cog...End of day...Who's it for???Coumputers and carnivores...
Walking the UK pavements and becoming a consumer I am wondering about the whole purpose of it...And I am in doubts. Living in a society which is driven by economic factors is I would say an extreme experience. You might say that all societies are regulated by their economies but British people are really consumed by their consumption. How to stay yourself in it? How to define yourself the other way than by the goods you consume? Truly challenging question.
I feel that it is about the decisions you make but still most of them are about what you're buying.
Do you buy that?

Yep. Another week has gone... This weekend I am going to prepare myself for relocation. I will have to leave my lovely hotel with such a good food and move to unknow place (since I haven't found a flat yet...). Hull is becoming more vibrant. Guess that's because the students are coming back from the holidays. Seems to me that I will like this city. So! Situation isn't as bad as you would think. It's worse! American crisis has not influenced the house market in UK yet and prices are still stable. Hopefully I will arrange myself a nice venue this or next month. Guess that should be my priority. But you know when the weekend comes...

Yesterday was a great day. Spent it with friends. Funny thoughts about being in a new environment. Final conclusion of the day: ADAPT!
Today fruitful day at work. Went running. What is the best way to improve your skills? Play with others! That's why I would like to enrol to design classes. In Spring semester.
Fancy a skateboard?
Day full of attractions.
We Make it so!!!

How to disappear completely in UK? Don't have phone, permanent address, bank accounts, loyalty cards? You're non-existent.

Do you know what drives the British economy? It's the fact that almost every store here closes at 5.30 pm. People have to run to get what they want (even if they don't really want it). Pressure applied (demand, demand, demand). And it is harder to bargain when you're running, you know what I mean?
Guess that is why the IT is essential here. Dot.coms' crisis in USA caused a deep recession. Then the 'crunch' came. Assume that the energy resources or main (re)serve(r)s in UK went down...That would be a tragedy for the whole society here.
Internet means access to the information, comparisons, shops, people and so forth...
Yeah...guess I need some work out and sweat it all out...
YE OL' TRP TO JRSLM
Liverpool-Birmingham-Nottingham and finally...the oldest pint in UK kept in good company.

NEUROPUNKS
What a party! All started in Wojewódzki park Kultury i Wypoczynku in Chorzów. It was Grzegorz's event. Good Clean Fun.
Than we went in "Maluch" (Fiat 126P el) to "Leśniczówka". Imagine 5 huge guys in THAT car...
Party seemed to be nice but we were politely informed to leave. What I did. Guys (Grzegorz, Artur, Robert, Tomek) stayed in.
Went to Elektro for Neuropunk Noisses. Finally had my ride at the end of the weekend.
