Daily Med Review

My opinion of the daily med is a good one overall. It opened up a lot of new ideas and a lot of old ones, which helped me to reconsider old mindsets. It has been an important journey overall, but it certainly demands a lot of work in this class oriented style. I could have […]

Daily Med 77 – Day 100

Creative Word: Gradual Process Creative Experiment: Purposeful Writing I am working on a film score for my cousin and it is not flowing at all. I am burying myself in the DAW trying to find the right sound for it. I know he wants piano music, so that’s decided already, and the piano sound I’m […]

Creative Word: Humble Creative Experiment: Begin Again It’s something I am considering for Perfect Transmission. I am noticing that my musical ideas don’t really grab my attention on their own merit. They don’t generate anything striking despite my pride in the concept and arrangement thus far. I think if I were to abandon a lot […]

Creative Word: Incomplete Creative Experiment: A Quiet Place This is the way I work best. Once I commit to an idea without potential to be derailed by YouTube, e-mail or texts the ideas surrounding it flow very easily, but the only time I am really able to access this time is by being up late […]

Week 12

How I am going to record for the final exam: I have a band that I am going to bring into class for the exam. It is my band that I have mentioned: Black Santa, but I’m going to bring them in as a trio (bass, drums, trumpet). I recorded them last night (with me […]

Creative Word: Storage Creative Experiment: One Liner I did this with my last project “No True Echo” – the piece could be stripped down to the word ‘Reveal’. That word rang through the later half of my composition time and greatly influenced the piece. My current piece “Perfect Transmission” could be reduced to ‘Mingles its […]

Creative Word: Argue http://youtu.be/LRG9rgaWVuI Creative Experiment: Conscious Tempo It’s crazy to think of how many opportunities might be missed by forgetting to take a bland idea and reversing it, or playing it on a different instrument, or playing it faster or slower. I experimented with a banjo riff that I had built particularly fast for […]

Creative Word: Attending http://youtu.be/c6CoBU6q6ss Creative Experiment: Doing Nothing I don’t go crazy in these situations, but I have trouble with feeling very genuine about my purpose there if it’s a public space. I enjoy sitting places where I am not feeling other people’s eyes on me because I feel less of a struggle with committing to […]

Creative Word: Create Fellowship Creative Experiment: Switching Hats Today I played in a few pieces for friends who were recording their final projects for conducting class. When I first sat down I played through as I often do with these low pressure gigs and just read the chart without putting huge priority on blending or […]

Daily Med 70 – Day 93

Creative Word: Piece Together Creative Experiment: Check Out and Zone In I spent a few moments today working through the performance I’m going to have tomorrow night. I am extremely excited for it and am visualizing the movements, actions, and overall strategy to the event tomorrow. It’s a little silly to explain some of them […]
