i first
decided to remove myself from facebook some time around the end of 2013,
not due to any kind of security concern but due to being fed up by the
terrible interface and incredibly slow servers. a few years later, i
found myself with a similar desire to extricate myself from the youtube
comments section, as the interface changes made it almost impossible to
actually use. but, old habits die hard, and it took several attempts
before i could really pry myself off, not having any kind of permanent
success until i designated the migration as a time-wasting tactic while i
successfully kicked the tobacco addiction, in the first half of 2016.
this left me with thousands of pages of writing that i was going to need
to eventually repost to a more user-friendly platform, which ended up
being the blogger interface on google. faced with the need to build
liner notes for my very first recording at the end of 1996, it was at
the beginning of 2017 that i first sat down with the intent to rebuild
my music journal as a singular whole, with the eventual plan of cutting
it up and appending it in installments within the discography.
my life hit a roadblock in the middle of 2017 as a consequence of a shift in ownership of the building i was living in, which led to multiple legal battles (still ongoing) and two separate moves. the situation eventually worked itself out for the better, but it slowed me down dramatically and left me with a very large back log in working through the loose ends around closing my first two period discs that i am only finally beginning to clear in the spring of 2019. this added period of reflection has allowed me to think this through over and over, and add increasing levels of detail to the journal, and subsequent pending liner notes. while not every month is going to be equally exciting, the level of detail in what was initially a journal is now more like a series of novellas. the first entry, which is only the second half of july, is 222 pages long.
i am not going to summarize the story, but it is available on the web over here: musicofjessicamurray.blogspot.com/2013/07/.
this is a compilation of written correspondences that includes facebook posts, messenger chats and emails with friends and family members, in an attempt to build the context around my move from ottawa to windsor in early august, 2013. this was a pretty heavy two weeks, and the narrative consequently has an arc of it's own, but the story being told here is how i rebuilt my studio over the second half of 2013. the contents of this download are the dummy track, a word doc file and a pdf file, both written in a more readable, chronological ordering. i've also added the respective files for my other three blogs, for general interest.
the events documented in this journal occurred in july, 2013 and were compiled into a narrative in several stages over the years 2014-2019. journal completed on mar 31, 2019. released and finalized in doc and pdf format on april 14, 2019. doc0713.

unfortunately, noise trade did not work out as a hosting solution, and i never got a clear answer as to why. but, i decided in the end that the site was full of ads and unworkable, anyways.
