Squirrel Free Weekend

       
I kept my weekend squirrel free and made excellent progress in mixing the second movement of my current work in progress. I took a little time off to start working on some ideas for the fourth movement, just sketches at the moment. I took most of Sunday off from working on the music; time to “clear out the ears” and do other stuff, but no squirrels. Monday I was back at working on the second movement, and Tuesday I worked on some more ideas for the fourth movement. I do need to get back to the first movement and finish it. The plan is to see if I can finish the entire piece before the summer solstice.
                 

No Squirrels

I was able to keep focus all week and spent it working on the mix to the second movement of my new multi-movement piece I talked about last Friday.  I am very happy with the way the movement is coming along. And I hope to finalize it this weekend.  Currently I do not plan on releasing it until I have finished all the movements.

I am still working on titles for each of the movements.  So far they are:

• I Subatomic Emotions
• II Surreal Anxieties
• III Forgotten Thoughts or Forgotten Memories or Disregarded Sensations or ... ?
• IV Quiet Madness or Silent Rage or ... ? 

 
Hopefully I will soon get back to working  on the first movement.  I have already started sketching out a rough outline for the last movement.  And I still have the new ballet sitting on the back burner waiting to distract me. 

No Squirrels Over the Weekend

           
Well I was able to keep focus this weekend. After re-configuring my main display on my computer to use HDMI I moved the VGA connection to a second monitor and now have a nice two display system to work with now.


I then spent most of the weekend setting up and mixing the second movement of my new multi -movement piece I talked about on Friday. I am no where near maxing out my new system, but I know there is no way I could load this project on my old system.



As for the piece itself; it is coming along very nicely and  I am very happy with the way it is sounding. If I stay on track I will soon be back to working on the first movement.    

Me and My Squirrels

   
As usual I find myself going down yet another random track instead of staying focused on one thing. My work on my new ballet got side tracked when I decided to finish my set of five impressions that I had put off when the idea of the ballet came to me. So with the impressions finished it should be back to the ballet, no? No. I started on a new multi-movement piece as soon as I have finished mixing impression number five. I have already finished the second movement and the third movement is 98 percent done. The first movement, which I started first, is about 50 percent done. And the final last movement is only an idea in my head. Only time will tell if I stay on track with this beast, or go chasing some other squirrel next week.
