Folks, I am IN it—I am INNNNN ITTTTT!
I started working on demos a couple of weeks ago, and good lord—what. a. ride.
No wonder I had to take some time off after finishing and releasing MEDICINE. 😂
One evening, after a day that started out pretty well and then ended with me deeeeeep in the weeds, wrestling with structure and sounds for a demo, I drove home as frustrated, hungry and uncomfortable as a moose in a Victorian tea room.
“WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING???
WHY AM I DOING THIS?????
WHAT WAS I THINKING???
I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT!
I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS! E T C. !!! 😡🤬🤮”
It’s been so long since I started a recording project, I had conveniently forgotten that DISCOMFORT is a key experience of making art. {At least for me!}
It’s ok, though!
Once I remembered this fact (and ate dinner), I felt better!
I played my work for Shawn after dinner, and as the cool new keyboard sound I found that morning streamed from my laptop speakers, I realized that yes, this process is uncomfortable A F (“i’m not the producer i need to be yet! i don’t know how to do everything i need to do yet! i’ve only just begun, argh!”), and ALSO I am *very * excited. !
I will become the producer these songs need by… producing these songs.
Ha!
Not easy! Not always fun! Often *very* not my favorite!
I mean, what kind of ridiculous koan is that?
“Do it just by doing it!”
But, alas, koan or not, ‘tis the truth for my art process, and it’s ok: I learn by going where I need to go.
*
So, reporting live from the wilds of this {occasionally wildly uncomfortable, challenging and mysterious} artistic life: the leaves are changing, the weather is cooling, I’m making a thing, it’s a terribly wonderful and wonderfully terrible process in all the ways (😂), and slowly I’m going where I need to go.
More soon.
I love you.
Kathleen
