The Frame Game - Paul Mckenna P.95
1. I made "Life In A Less Southern Town" happen in the past. The frame I gave myself was a cathartic expression of all the emotions making music in a better state of living than where I used to live - further down south. This kept me motivated as I was continually regenerating my perspective on what sounds were motivational to my ears.
2. I am currently thinking of working on "Derelict Career", the working title for my third album as Foci's Left. The concept is to make amusement of the staring truth that ambient musicians can't make a career out of music even if they choose - they have a derelict career from the start; it must stay a hobby. Therefore I want to inflate the angle of producing as many different styles of ambient music in one album as possible to cross boundaries with what is normally acceptable.
3. I could reduce my interest in the project by framing it "this won't work, you'll just create an LP with no flow or common interlinking themes".
4. I could increase my interest by staying true to myself and knowing there is a minor audience for what I do - the grey area between calling it a "derelict career". Plus, I'm ultimately doing it for myself, so I please myself and whatever else happens, happens.
