Discipline

Or should I say my total lack of discipline. I have finished writing my Fugue in E minor and have begun working on a recording of it. This is a very labor intensive process, so what do I do? I begin on writing another piece, a bit of fluff piece. Sort of a folk-rock piece. What the hell am I thinking? I need to be finishing the Fugue in E minor and proofing the parts, but no I am start working on some thing completely different. And do you remember? I started the Fugue in E minor while I was working of the recording to Kiyone's Mood. if what I needed as a little time away from the Fugue what didn't I go back to work on Kiyone? Lack of discipline, I say. Or some sort of deep seeded physiological need to avoid actually finishing something. That or I am just lazy.


Mood of the day: Wistfulness, yearning, with a hint of sadness and lost, but muted.

Fugue in E minor

Well I have finished the my Fugue in E minor for String orchestra and have started on recording it using the GPO string samples and Sonar. I am also in the process of trying to finish recording Kiyone's Mood and have also started on a new recording of Sol Demens.

Done with it.

The Rock the Potato piece, [

Schizophrenic Composing

As I mentioned in my last post I am currently working on two separate and completely dissimilar pieces.

The first piece I started a couple of weeks ago is a fugue in e minor for string orchestra. I have found that I have not been able to completely put this piece on the back burner and have continued to work on it even when I should be working on the Hot Potato piece. This piece which currently does not have a title, other than Fugue in e minor, is, as I have said, for string orchestra and is written in 5/2 time at the slow tempo of a half note equalling 45 BPM, and is sketched out to last about eight minutes. Preview taste of the beginning of the the fugue is here: Fugue in e minor. This piece (Fugue in e minor) seems to complement my previous piece The Forlorn Hope. Or should I say The Forlorn Hope complements the Fugue. Id est I have taken to listening to the MP3 files of both of them, first The Forlorn Hope followed by The Fugue in e minor.

The other piece I am working on, Rock the Potato, [
Rock the Potato thread on the SibeliusMusic Chat Page] is coming along well and I hope to finish it before the weekend. But we will see.
