Been messing around with some music production using Abelton Live, and finding some interesting characters on YouTube to learn from. One of them is Sarah2ill, and she’s great.
From Tilt #67 I learned of photographer Drew Kerr who was going to have an exhibition at the Queens Library, but it got cancelled, and raises all sorts of questions about censorship and art.
My first mentor taught me that it is OK to not know how to do something as long as I am willing to learn how to do it. Another taught me the value of “Dance like nobody’s watching; email like it’s being read into a deposition.”
Sarah Wefald
I met Sarah Wefald back around 2008 I think, a time that’s a little hazy because holy crap that was over 10 years ago. We rode bikes with some other music biz pals down to the beach and stuff. She has a nice interview over at Laserfiche, ‘Women in Tech: Championing Innovation as a Technical Product Manager,‘ and continues to be a bad ass.
When I go downstairs in our apartment and all of my recording gear is set up, it’s rare that I don’t at least come up with one idea. If I come back from a show and leave my guitar and pedals packed away, it takes longer for me to get back in a groove of practicing and making demos.
