This second reading by the same author carries on from network hubs and power laws. I must admit the utter fascination and interest in his words is contagious, making me read on… about network physics and fundamental law… Who would’ve thought? Basically what I grasped from his studies was that networks create similar “hubs” through a sort of budding process. The new nodes of a give network are added the most accessible nodes, i.e. when deciding where to link, new nodes tend or “prefer” to attach to the more connected pre-existing nodes.

Reverb, Chorus, Flanger and Panning, EQ, Compressing, AUDIO DELAY: me and one of my good friends Dani Leever, came to the mutual conclusion that these terms are best learnt through trial and a bucket load of error. i.e. go to your computer dump your recorded work and fiddle with every transition, filter and manipulation tool available. All it will take then is time and repetition. Sure its no a certified or conventional way to learn a skill, but hey it works for us. J

Above is my first attempt at Photoshop… yes, I do know. It is utter brilliance. It’s a gift really… The way I stumbled through photoshop was by trial and error. What I noticed is that a lot of it just came to me naturally because of the work I have been doing over the years slaving through final cut pro and final cut X. I guess it really cant be too different fundamentaly. I mean film editing and the moving image, is exactly that, editing 24 photos in the 1 second. So all the colouring, layering and positioning in a wireframe wasn’t to troubling for me. The only slight trouble emerged when I imported three unrelated things into one canvas…. I think I need better inspiration.
