Minute of Music: Pivot
It appears that it’s time to stop posting music for a little while. The project started to get me thinking about music and writing music regularly, and that it did. However, I want units of music more than a minute now, and the self-imposed push to have something to publish is causing me to make progressively worse tracks — and lately, to make no tracks at all. It’s also preventing me...

Moved to tumblr
After looking at how I use this space, I’ve decided to move it to Tumblr for the time being; although I like SquareSpace lots, I really post more like a tumblr user, and tumblr is substantially cheaper than SquareSpace. I also changed the domain, because, well, I do that from time to time. I’ll setup redirects from blog.mattbowen.net and all the old URLs to their new ones shortly.
