These moratoriums are usually broken the moment I start working on something new. Technically, I broke <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/entry\/3233\/\">last year&#8217;s moratorium<\/a> back in February, when I wrote a few measures of a new string quartet.<br \/>\nI haven&#8217;t worked on it since, and now that I&#8217;ve launched a label and a publishing company, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll get back to it any time soon.<br \/>\nSo I&#8217;m extending the <em>shinkyoku moratorium<\/em> from September 2007, or at least, I&#8217;m not considering it broken. Launching the label forces me to look seriously at the current state of my catalog, and adding to it just doesn&#8217;t seem appealing. Now that I have a means through which this music can be (somewhat) properly distributed, I need to make sure it&#8217;s the best it can possibly be.<br \/>\nThat means recording and editing vocals, finalizing arrangements and closing outstanding <strike>bugs<\/strike> issues.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nI did manage to record a slew of vocals back in December 2007 &#8212; with help from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/entry\/3281\/\">the Spreadsheet<\/a> &#8212; and I hope to spend the summer getting the rest of those first takes done.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve already shipped off a majority of my songs for Copyright registration, and I&#8217;m still considering whether to register them with ASCAP.<br \/>\nAfter three years of attempting to curb my productivity, I finally have something to put me in check. In essence, I&#8217;m moving out of the prototyping phase and am transitioning to a production phase. That opens up a whole slew of tasks &#8212; perhaps requiring outside involvement &#8212; which makes pure creation a dubious endeavor.<br \/>\nIn other words, I won&#8217;t have time to add to the workload.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m extending the <em>shinkyoku moratorium<\/em> from September 2007, or at least, I&#8217;m not considering it broken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4Bkir-1J","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
