Greetings mostly-sentient life forms! I, the being generally labelled Daniel J. Pendergraft, am still-existent upon this Earthly Plane. Do not let my seeming absence phase you. It is quite the contrary—I am endeavoring and resting, both more ambitiously than before, as per my current recent-natal-day-begun-solar-revolution-boundary-defined plan detailed here. The result is that my online activities are both somewhat inhibited as well as enhanced by a greater focus on multiple-circadian-rhythm-requiring projects to the detriment of more scattered, nonessential activities previously considered necessary by invisibly made subconscious self-pacts now revoked.

Here is one such project, entitled 'Screen-havened hell—redeemed', which explores my lifelong (since the age of three playing Atari) love and hate relationship with computer screens. I believe it will hold some resonance with those of various age groups that have also experienced the various enslavement, terror, exhilaration, joy, connectedness, and isolation that interacting with digital portals to strange electromagnetic realms can bring.

Stage One was writing this piece, which commenced two days earlier and was completed in a relatively short single sitting. The format is improvisation-defined-loose-verse structure, which is not bound to a specific metre or tempo but spontaneously falls into such grooves momentarily by nature of the consciousness' unavoidable perception and manufacturance of complex patterns.

(Enter Stage Two) To underscore this, the piece was recorded to metronome in Garageband, which can be heard lightly in the background of this raw vocals version. However, the speed of the piece fluctuates throughout, beginning at 117 bpm and gradually increasing to as much as 125 bpm, then decreasing again eventually to 111 bpm at the end. This effect, while perhaps sounding slightly awkward at this stage of production, will make more sense after the musical and video portions of the piece are created. Stage two also included the brief capturing and editing of the images in this post.

For now that will conclude my production report and sharing of the creation process of this piece. I hope this post finds you very well—take care of yourselves, my friends, and as always—much love and gratitude for the connection we share through this odd and semi-miraculous online medium, whose technology reverse-engineered from the workings of consciousness mimics and amplifies the naturally-occurring quantum-webbed nonlocal filaments that connect our microcosmic selves to the totality of Universe.
