Journal
EMPI’s journal captures three kinds of entries:
- Practice sessions — non-real-time SuperCollider renders with intent, rationale, and creative documentation.
- Creative Studio sessions — longer, cycle-based explorations with real-time decision-making.
- Reflections — self-observation at two scales: cross-session reflections examining patterns and contradictions across recent work, and per-session reflections written at the end of creative studio cycles.
