Maeda's SIMPLICITY

Hearing Sounds

Can you "hear" it too?

Some things are meant to be seen; some thing are meant to be heard. I use industrial ear plugs at work when I need to focus. Everything around seems to come into better focus when I do this. You can also hear yourself breathing much better. It's kind of like running a low-cost version of perfmon for your body and mind.

Over the past few days I have created a simple pseudo-visual script. I was inspired by the whole language invention concept of Tolkien. All "characters" derive from the same set of 100 or so strokes I've been farming. They are designed to change dramatically over a period of 30 seconds. It's all not happening fast enough. So I've been inventing a new kind of fertilizer. Luckily this stuff never has to hit the market.
