Back to work...

I have just come to the end of three productive months during which I haven't had to worry about money.

I feel the need to summarise my progress before knuckling down with a bit of freelance programming work. So what did I do?

I finished two albums: a sad one, Psychogenic Fugue State, and a happy one, Majectical Electical (see my releases page). This included doing a fair bit of promotion and creative print artwork to get CDs produced.

I made a few videos (the Eraserhead remix, Clonie, Two Girls One Geek - see my YouTube channel).

I created a Max/MSP path to make my Korg MicroKontrol work like a nice drum machine when I play live.

I did a lot of work on L1na (see myspace.com/l11na) before some... complications... undermined the project's feasibility.

I met lots of new people to work with (Lisa Lore, Sputniko!, Rebecca Keatley, amongst one or two others).

I made a DVD of my best 'video compositions' and sent it around last week. Hopefully somebody will take notice.

I feel like I've done enough Michael Forrest stuff to be going on with now - I have plenty of recorded material to promote, although I suspect I will be more successful with something collaborative (and hence less perfectionist and earnest). I have lots more ideas for new projects anyway.

But now I must earn my rent.
