maybe you had an idea, maybe you didn't. maybe it'll spark a new one, maybe it won't. maybe you'll want to delete it, maybe you'll want to keep it forever. but it's worth checking exactly what you were saying or singing or listening to someone else say in that "22-02-18 - city centre" file. just in case.

I record when I start to forget and listen back to remember—be here now.
An act of documenting… when I'm crying out in laughter or suffering, tired right before bed, and a passage I just read, but most of all when I hear a sound never heard before.

I wrote this piece last year comprised of different texts that I found at various points and have been sitting on for I don’t know how long. 5-10 years, maybe. I’m really happy with it so I wanted to share it here with the recommendation to always keep this special mysterious stuff you find stored somewhere. Rip it from YouTube and dump it into G Drive, copy paste it into Notes, create a desktop folder of loose miscellaneous material, record a voice memo, or at very least WhatsApp a link to a friend so there’s a record of it. I know that if I react to something then I will invariably at some point be struck by the memory of reacting to it and will be furious at myself if I can’t find it again. It is always satisfying when you eventually figure out a purpose for whatever it is, otherwise you will enjoy the enigmatic frustration of it until you die. Win win.

We looove using voice memos. The most obvious function is for recording song ideas and guitar parts, but we also use it when we need to send some juicy gossip that’s too long to type. We save all of our old voice memos even from high school, and like to dig through the archives when trying to find a song idea to work on.
