4/25/2024 0 Comments End of busy season (4/25/24)Been over two months since I last wrote. Since then, I have put some more work into my collection due to release I would like to say Monday. I was originally going to call it "Bringing Out the Dead", but I have now opted to call it "FCOM Communications Discharge Manual". I've gone for the new name because I feel like the former was too romantic and idyllic, whereas the latter more appropriately describes the mechanical and impersonal core of the collection. The whole point of my recent work is to grasp for some fundamental fabric that stitches reality together; To reduce human behavior (which we have endowed with a supernatural beauty) to this fundamental fabric, and to weave humanity in with it. The goal is order to the extent that it instigates this insane scramble for meaning. Like, everything is done. Everything has been laid out. What do you mean everything has been laid out? What do you mean we're done? I don't want it to be done. I want to see more! Then we break everything down again. I don't know. Anyways, I am near the end of this collection that I will have out soon. I'm preparing all of the infrastructure to carry out its release. Once this is done, I will be free of those ideas for a while. The music I've been listening to, as well as the content I have consumed, the ideas that I have played with, etc. have all gone stale for me. It has been a couple years of obsessing over these concepts. It began, to some extent, with LIFE HD, although I couldn't really put my finger on it. Arguably, back in high school there were some vague fascinations with the concept. Nights driving with my friends, high off of whatever Snapchat plug weed we could get our hands on. My friend Diego would play Funkadelic, and I would swoon to these hallucinations of dancing cartoon people and colorful patterns; the icons of freeway Americana flitting past the windows. I haven't smoked consistently for a while now. The flashbacks I would get are gone, and some old thought patterns that I believe were suppressed by the drugs are coming back. It's a little scary have them again. I think it means that I'm getting over this phase, and am ready to move on to new ideas. I have some stuff that I have been ideating since early 2021, which I haven't had the chance of fully exploring. I also have an old project that I will hopefully complete this summer that goes as far back as 2019. Additionally, there is the idea that I'll make a low-budget cartoon and put it out on YouTube. I also want to make LEGO stop motion animations. Then, there's this really long-term project that I have put work in since 2017. Suffice to say, I still have a lot of energy and excitement to make my ideas real. I don't know. Anyways, for those who have so happened to come across my blog post before the FCOM release, I give you all of the rollout material so far as a gift. Enjoy.
