219 — Thinking of films

(Mittwoch–Wed.)
TRANSCRIPT
Spent most of today in the lab. It sort of drove me
nuts and made me frustrated. To get some of these
things are extremely hard.
Anyway, called up Herr L. and found out that the
possibility for the film is still good. Hoping.
I end almost every long day in the electronic music
lab by listening to my film music tape. Sounds great
because of the loud speakers. What a way to rest my
ears and end the day.
REFLECTIONS
The
lab. I seem to
be in the electronic music lab all of the time. I
wonder (now), where were the other students? I
imagine that if no one was there, I just continued to
work, and when others were there, I practiced.
Film
ideas. Today
explains why I was thinking of abstract films
yesterday. It sounds like the student film project
might still be a possibility. So, what do I imagine?
An abstract film of the human body. Naked human body.
If I had a girlfriend, would I have been thinking of
making a film on the royal palaces of Vienna,
instead?
Film
music. Surprise,
I’m listening to film music in the electronic lab at
the end of some sessions. Loud. I couldn’t do that in
my apartment. I always have been and still am a big
fan of music for movies. My dream, is to one day,
write some music for film. Will never
happen.
