- The video above, at the top of this post, is this morning's, and today's "ATMOSPHERIC TONE" video; I explain;
- I have decided to start recording what I call the "atmospheric tone" outside my studio; that way, at the beginning of the day, I get the general "room tone" of the "room", except instead of the room where I usually do my recording, I recorded the ambient space outside of it;
- I will surely do the same with the room tone indoors, but for now I'm making field recordings, so technically they have to be "in the field";
- I am hypersensitive to the sounds outside my apartment and so have invested in some Loop earplugs, which are doing the trick, except they are small and I will likely lose them, and to buy an official Loop brand cord to attach them to each other, making them much more difficult to lose, it would have cost me more than the actual earplugs, or maybe around that price, but I thought it was even more expensive; this is ridiculous and I will not purchase these, I will just find another way to connect them together; they have hoops that are round and that could be attached by virtually anything; I probably have what it takes already somewhere inside my apartment;
- In any case, of late, I've done quite a lot of work, a lot of research, a lot of artwork, and a lot of archival work within the archives; Remember, The Historiotheque contains an Archives, always and forever, every Historiotheque does; Actually, I have officially designated a place I am calling The Historioteque 2, and my old Historiotheque I am calling The Historiotheque 1, so as not to get confused, and so I know, and my collaborators at The Historiotheque 2 know who did what and who was at which place, in what location, etc.;
- So I have been spending a lot of time setting up The Historiotheque 2 and doing important work there; we are working on a major cinemati experience, working up to it, I should stay, as it won't be finished or published online until possibly at the end of the month, possibly later; I can't really say anything about it here; I talk about almost all my projects online, but some projects I can't document in the same way, can't include in my logs; In any case, we are planning some other videos and are going to be making a lot of videos for the foreseeable future, as we finally have everything planned out and organized to make video editing and filming much more easily within the confines of The Historiotheque 2, though I will also be making videos "in the labs" of Historiotheque 1, and outside it, "in the field"; field recordings outside the lab sound very different than they do in the lab; I will be showing this with my "ATMOSPHERIC TONE" videos; I envision people making these atmospheric tone videos all over the world, and potentially having them archive them all either on my own Historiotheque website, of which I have a domain name but no website yet, or else they could archive them on YouTube as I have done, or ideally on the Internet Archive;
- I am officially working on a new series of portraits, of Picasso to start with, and possibly of Walter Benjamin, maybe Moshe Feldenkrais; I may have spoken about this before; don't worry if there are redundancies in this blog; it's rare that at any one time any given person will read anything more than a handful of these antilogs, so it doesn't really matter if there are redundancies; most people will never notice, and those who do might not be taken aback or offended by it (have their "good taste" offended;
- Finally, I've been archiving my old recordings from the 1994-1995 period, some from the 2001-2004 period, and still others from roughly circa 2009; I've turning them into videos with still frames with appropriate title and publishing them online on YouTube; Here are a few from a concept-symphony I wrote back in the 1994-1995 in MIDI, which I converted from MIDI to .wav format around 2002: in any case, here are the CIRCUS-MACHINE videos, from the new playlist called CIRCUS-MACHINE (Symphony, 1994-995), there are 5 in total:

- The first video was called Overture To The Circus-Machine, and I just realized that there is a spelling error in the title in the actual video frame; so be it, I'm not going to change it now, or I will later on; this is just a preliminary course of logging, documenting, and archiving work for now, it can be a little rough, it doesn't matter, but it will need to be corrected and finalized;
- The second video is called The Circus-Machine: The Dancing Horse; it should be noted that these original compositions from the 1994-1995 period were converted as I said into .wav files in the 2001-2004 period, probably more like 2002, I would say, and given the title Organically Me; that is, it was turned into an album on CD with that title, that I shared with some friends at the time, though most likely most of those copies are lost; I think I recorded like 42 albums from 2001 to 2009, all concept-albums; in any case, here is the second track from today's work, published online on YouTube:

- The third track is called The Circus-Machine: The Fire Breather; I think you will get the general concept; I am still logging, documenting, and archiving everything to prove that I actually created all of this original content, and logging, documenting, and archiving all of the methodologies and techniques I used, plus also all of the original research that went into making all of this; in any case, here is the third track in the series:

- The fourth track is called The Circus-Machine: The Flying Trapeze; again, you can see the general theme; this was originally envisioned as a symphony or symphonic work, one that I was going to conduct myself; I wanted to become an orchestral conductor at the time, and still do, though I would technically still have a lot of work to do to get there; conducting a symphonic orchestra is no laughing matter, not just anyone can do it, only the most skilled, talented, and exceedingly credible and authoritative and rigorous, comprehensive individuals can ever hold that title; if you don't believe me, you don't know what you are talking about; the level of discipline required is extreme, and you have to be able to imagine music in your mind's eyes and ears that includes at least I would say 12 separate threads interweaving, that is, the various voiceslet's call them; usually in an orchestra of this type, there are several actual instruments/musicians playing the same part; so maybe you have 12 parts, but maybe more; maybe I'm mistaken in this, but I always thought this was the case, and learned that this was the case 30 years ago when I was still studying music; so if I am wrong, authoritative sources that were in any case authoritative at the time, were also mistsaken, or I just remembered it wrong ("operator error" of the art operator); Here is the fourth track:

- The fifth and final track is called The Circus-Machine: The Juggling Unicyclist; I will leave this antilog here for now, as I have to attend to a few things before noontime comes; I will write much more, or plan to write much more about what I've done since June 9, 2026, when the last antilog on the blog was published; here is the track for now; I may not come back to this antilog, but plan to as I said:

- I just realized that Hyperreflexive Design is just a "mode" of Reflexive Design;

- Most of the time, I'm just a Reflexive Design, but when needed, I put on the "thrusters", if you will, and go into "Hyperreflexive Mode";

- I can't be in Hyperreflexive Mode for too long, though, or there are direct consequences; there are consequences of doing just Reflexive Design wor too; for instance, I start to drop objects at random far more often than is usual; also, I make mistakes in my art work, my sound design work;
- Both modes have problems, or consequences, their own unique risks & liabilities, but they also have benefits, often great benefits;

- I am still hyper-productive in either mode or "phase" if you want to look at them as phases of the same work in the workspace; it's just that the velocity of work changes, what I call the historiotopic velocity, because it is the velocity primarily of "changes in the 3D surface of the workspace", or what I call "delta-workspace" and the "delta-workspace theory";

- I also realized yesterday that I haven't really had anything published in any real way in my career; I want to publish works and have it referred to or curated or whatnot on the erudit website, but to publish works in academic journals, I can do it no problem, I don't need to have a PhD, but the thing is, I can't have published it already anywhere, basically; so, since I've been publishing my work openly online for 20+ years, even my most advanced projects, concepts, works, and theories, and even have documented my future work 3 years in advance at this point, I can't really publish in academic journals, whose main requirement is that the work was not published anywhere else;
- So, to conclude, if I wanted to publish my work in academic journals, which I could easily do, I have all the requisite skills and my work is important and critical enough that it would likely pass the peer review or whatnot, blind or not blind, it's just that I would need to create and work on what essentially are SECRET PROJECTS; and, sorry to those who like to live their lives in secret, I can't be secret; I spent my whole life in secret, I want to be public, open and public; that's the kind of artist I've always been and have become especially of late; that doesn't mean I give up ANY of my intellectual property rights; I give away NON of my intellectual property rights/copyrights; but some stuff can have different licenses for different purposes; it depends on the work; I often do pro bono work, or volunteer, I mean I clean bathrooms and toilets and stuff at times, and I don't copyright that work; I'm being comical, but seriously, some stuff is in the public domain even, it really depends on the project; but 95% to 99% is copyrighted, and even, to be honest, current-day copyright is NOT STRICT ENOUGH; I want to also control WHO SEES IT, WHO LISTENS TO IT, AND WHEN; but at the moment for me anyway that's virtually impossible, unless again I post things online in private, which I guess I could do, like hyperlinks to my videos on YouTube or whatnot; but I prefer to make everything discoverable & findable for now; even with archiving stuff on the Internet Archive, to come back to that, I technically need to give up some of my intellectual property rights in the sense that I have to license it insofar as they need to have it hosted on their systems, archived in their systems; but I digress...

- Here is a Photo-Capture from last night, of The Historiotheque, taken from outside on the front porc; I love this place that I've been staying and working in for the last 10 years, I feel so privileged to have been able to do that and at times I fear not being able to stay located here long-term, as it is becoming more and more gentrified; anyway here is the picture, untouched, unprocessed:
