DeutschThe one responsible, Tobias Reußwig, is glad you came over to visit and would certainly hug you, was he present. Sadly his presence is, as for so many, limited to a single place in space, which means that at most times to which someone visits the site, he won't be present, that is, present, but not present where the visitor is sitting (we hope you can sit. It's hard using a pc while standing up, we know that from experience).
You can access a selection of texts regarding language or genre to the left, to the right you can search the site or take a look at the complete archive below. If you don't wish to search but to start directly with a text, perhaps For Ghazaleh or Trepanation, two fourtythree milligram... would be a good place to start.
ICS ResultsSubmitted by Tobias Reußwig on Mon, 04/02/2012 - 23:13 |
In the evening hours of the 24th of May (it was a Saturday) the lodge I founded met. Its name is "Lobia Lusorum Confingentium qui Liba Sublima Cognoscunt". (We're a secret society, so please, keep it hush hush.) This lodge is part of the Immersion Composition Society, which consists of independant lodges operating the world over. The goal is to enhance creativity by immersing yourself into a creative endeavour and creating an artificial goal. In 12 hours we tried to write 20 new texts. It wasn't so much the point to have written 20 texts by the end of the day, but much rather to set oneself a goal which could be worked towards feverishly. I just uploaded one of the texts I created in this day session. Some of these texts were created in a strange haze of drowsiness and euphoria, but what surprises me most, is that I really wrote for 12 hours (interrupted only by short breaks to eat or to catch some fresh air on the balcony). Time passed quickly, and I recommend the ICS Method to anyone who would like to be creative but stands in his or her own way with overediting, thinking, procrastinating, wrangling or laziness. There's also a book, detailing the method and origin of the ICS which comes highly recommended, called "The Frustrated Songwriter's Handbook".

And a new text again, conceived on a late summer afternoon on my bicycle. I kept repeating it in my head and thought it had to be extended.
I changed my mind on that now.
