JenTrip The Journeys of a Brooklyn Designer |
....who is Jen anyway? |
Wednesday, January 29, 2003 So: let’s see… are you still out there? What am I doing? well… I got a rad new computer. The titanium g4 laptop. I have been in constant adaptation to the new interface and work habits of it. I am Djing from it now (Diner in Williamsburg Thursday nights…9 – 1am – shameless!). I have been justifying the diversion by describing what I am doing as “music design”. See, I am not concerned with beat matching or any of that other sort of old school DJ stuff. Obviously – I am doing it from my laptop. I am interested much more in the song. The song as a singular piece of work. Then… what brings you to another song doesn’t have to be something as simple as a beat (to all of you “real” Djs out there I’m not insulting this complex task). What about what the song is saying? Is it about boyfriends? Does it preach to you? Who is singing it… who are their influences? Where does this song come from? Where can it take you? On another note, I spent the morning trying (Trying!) to research the best drafting/rendering software to invest in for OS X. A fruitless task. I used to love love love Vellum. It was so simple to use and had small file sizes. Now Ashlar Vellum has new versions of everything out that you can get at a low low price of $4000!!! Who do they think we are?? I guess its back to the drawing board… |
