It has been officially 2008 where i live for the past 67 minutes.

How was your year?

Are you still partying?

Were you able to hold the right people in your mind as the calendar page flipped?

As 2007 comes to a close, i’m given the sense that a strange weight, inconsequential as the actual numerical change of a year may be, has been lifted from my self. 2008 in it’s approach has been, in my mind, some sort of milestone for at least my own output, giving me many strong currents to be directed within the scope of my projects — especially when it comes to music, to art.

I’ve chosen to to notice that — in some mostly-subconscious way– what is created from me is in essence always a clue regarding next step when it comes to steering the good-ship-sinter. My tastes and perspectives are in constant motion as I write, and the end-product mostly reveals itself “in-the-process-of-becoming” itself… which in the case of ‘From Unity To Segmentation’ has spanned almost two solid years.

Life has given so much to consider (if i am paying close enough attention) it often feels so very overwhelming; the overall sense of awe (whether manufactured by ‘my-self’ in the singular or ‘the-self’ in the grand scheme of things) is enough to dredge tears from my eyes. The very ponderance pulls away a veil between the spaces between me and a larger thing.

When it comes to the gift of life, what i believe makes it so valuable is at least the sense or possibility of an underlying, unifying, element. I swear i’ve felt it, could never deny it’s being. This influences a large set of proposals that become known every single day for me. It, for instance, means that there is a genuine cause for coincidence outside-of-it-self. It may mean that all there is, is ideas: executing themselves in slow motion — but it gives me great strength in knowing that it’s impossible to be alone as a some sort of nodal point, to be a cog in an impossibly large machine whose sole purpose may only be the recognition of itself over the course of many aeons.

I knew i’d go a big rubbery one here, but i’m leaving it because this is what this thing is for innit?
