I discussed my current project with Ian and showed him the collection of music equipment that I have. Ian spoke a bit about some of the objects, what they do and perhaps why they are in the collection, which items may have samples saved onto them created by John.
He exclaimed that in choosing to do something, you’re not doing something else. So in essence, what you are choosing is what not to do. You have to be comfortable with your choice. It’s moor about the things you chose not to do, than what you chose to do.
With the collection being so large it is important to chose one piece to focus on. I had already discussed this with Jonathan Hitchen in a meeting last week and have since chosen to focus on the Tenori-on. Otherwise Ian said, with this amount of equipment, the possibilities are endless.
The process of pricing the equipment and selling it should not be taken lightly, this should be a very slow process that I should take my time in doing. Ian offered to help me with things when the time arises.
From meeting Ian, I’d say he reitrified what Hitch and I had discussed last week which proves I am on the right path. What he has perhaps pointed out more so is that it is important to take my time doing these things as it is a big job. This worries me a little, not in terms of whether I can do it or not, but whether this is the right time to be doing it. Have I chosen a project to emotionally involved for my Ma or will the structure of the Ma help me along this path?
