Unexpected

Huh. Last I checked, it was 6:00.

I finished the other track I was working on. It lived up to its name twice over, as I really didn't expect to get it done already, and I also didn't really expect it to become what it became. Fucked up kind of a lot of stuff, but rather than being frustrating, it mostly just made me figure out software better. So.. took longer, but was ultimately better in terms of brainstuff. I have to say, editing on the lappy on the couch once I have everything in there really kicks ass over being tied to a desktop computer in the studio. A lot.

Unexpected.

comments welcome.

I've been staring at a screen for a long time and now that I'm done working and all restless, it's time to try to sleep. Damn.

Maybe next time I'll try something not in C minor, or something other than 120 bpm. I'm wild and crazy like that.

I should have mentioned this to you yesterday. I really like this. I, for one, happen to adore C minor, and believe that composers should have a C minor quota to fill, though I'm also more than happy to have some A minor goin' on, too.

But earnestly, this is beautiful, and I've come to expect nothing less from you. You know what you're doing when you blend your instrument types- the slow, organic sound of the woodwinds and the desperate, driven sound of the digital instruments. If I wanted anything from it, I'd want a little more variation from the clarinet.

Or, er... the sax. Sorry- you put woody, clarinet sound into your shiny metal sax.

I'll take it as a compliment. :) I think I'm over my c-minor quota, though. BUT...
[music geek] c minor is parallel to c major, which is relative to a minor, and I loves me some modal mixture/picardy 3rd action anyway- (the beginning and end already have this goin' on.) Plus, A in Cmajor is the sixth, which would be all about deceptive resolutions, of which I'm also a big fan. So really I could have put some a minor action there as well for you if I'd known ahead of time. ;) Maybe for your play.[/music geek]


Thanks for the thoughts!
