Balancing loops seek equilibrium. They resist change - not because people are stubborn, but because the system is designed that way.

To change a system with strong balancing loops, you need to change the set point itself. Not just push against the current state.

Work with them, not against them.

Equilibrium at Jackson's Pit, Oldham, 22nd June 2007.
The singer/guitarist's girlfriend was a friend of a friend from work, so I offered my services for the night.
They weren't bad, just not as polished as most of the other bands I worked with, and were happy playing to 20 of their mates in a dank hole in the ground every few weeks rather than trying to get heard by as many people as possible.
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that, but I wasn't getting too attached.

Bernard, lead singer and guitarist with local band Equilibrium at Jacksons Pit, Oldham, 22nd June 2006.
I worked with his then-girlfriend, and she mentioned they were playing, so i offered my services, and a great time was had by all.
