It seems I made the mistake yesterday of enjoying what I created, which put me under pressure to try and equal or better it today.  My inner critic was turned on to max when I woke up, and I procrastinated for a good part of the day and then rejected my initial idea when I finally sat down to work.  I decided making something vastly different to yesterday might help to distance me from comparisons, so I took just a few kernels of my rejected idea and improvised with them using my loop pedal.

Today was hard, and it's only day three.  I had about four hours sleep last night and spent most of the day as a zombie, but at about 11pm I pulled myself together enough to get this one out.  These videos are the kind of thing I'd usually keep to myself, and not share them to become a public record of my experimentation. A huge part of this project, however, is about learning to put my inner critic on hold.  Besides, tomorrow is another day and another chance to create something new.

The tyranny of the blank page... 

It turns out there was a fatal flaw in my plan for this project: I didn't have any kind of starting point for the very first song.  I'm naturally an excellent procrastinator if given the chance, and I almost decided that my announcement of the project would count as today's work.  But I made a late dash to the finish line after dinner and emerged triumphant.
