about

In december 1999 I decided to try out something special for the year 2000. I made up my mind and came to the conclusion that I wanted to collect an album filled up with musical or sound sketches, like writing my daily experiences into a diary-book, using the ideas, moods, sounds and noises that would turn out to be important for me on each particular day of the year. So that in the end, I would hold in hand a compact disc of 366 short sonic events or little musical works, each of which having a length of about 10 seconds. From week no. 27 on, I became involved in different band or choir projects, so that there will appear recordings from rehearsals and performances I had with those groups in the second half of the year.

The most appealing reasons why I started this year-long activity were:
1. to help remembering my personal experiences of the year
2. to gain a pool of musical ideas for later elaboration
3. to explore my own range of musical ability and possibilities
4. to train myself in perseverance, endurance and discipline
5. to gain information on my personal creative process and progress
6. to experience how it feels to listen to a cd of hundreds of very short totally different either musically worked out or incidental sound or noise compositions.

I must admit that I wasn't able to cope with MY2k duties all the time, so that weeks no. 38, 41, 43 and 48 - 50 are missing in the final product. I'm sorry.

Thanks to my MY2k-companion MICHAEL PETERS for joining me in the endeavour at accomplishing this demanding task. You can listen to Michael's Y2k "a sound diary for the year 2000" here:
veloopity.bandcamp.com/album/my2k-sound-diary-for-2000

There are two further musicians who took up my idea of creating a musical diary of the year 2000 in their own personal way:
JEFF McLEOD (USA); his album is called "ye shall be cut into many pieces" and
DAVID COOPER ORTON (UK); his one is called "a sonic diary for the year 2000"

You can read a comprehending report and review of the whole project by HAROLD SCHELLINX here: www.harsmedia.com/SoundBlog/Archief/00517.php
