ab5tra¢t: This post examines the interplay of physical movement, sensory experience, and creative output across a 3-day period in November 2024, involving a 10-mile walk across NYC to a live auditory event (Slowdive concert), followed by a raw gastronomic exploration to mark a relational milestone. Creative output was tested through the launch of "cöd.eXɘ.böↄ," with results showing no immediate post-launch inertia in sales metrics. To counteract psychological aftereffects, the subject initiated a retrospective reissue project focused on early Calamari chapbooks (2003–2005), incorporating theoretical frameworks such as decalcomania and pseudonymity (e.g., "dCal"). Concurrently, intertextual inspiration was drawn from Mike Corrao's experimental textual architecture. Results suggest the cyclical nature of creative motivation, influenced by external sensory stimuli and intrinsic reflective practices.
