And the night goes on..
It's 12:08.
I'm sitting in my loungeroom with the heatpump on, tea (3rd one) at my side, score in (proverbial) hand (printed on both sides to save paper), Pen in other (proverbial) hand (running out)..
I'm tired and worn out, my eyes are straining from staring at a computer screen. My mum gets out of bed every so often, to check I haven't left the ( Read more... ) -
Late night composition..
It's currently 2:38
I'm composing.
For some reason it's easier to write at this time of night (or morning..) Maybe it's because I just write without any hindrance of logical thought processes.
Sitting up in bed like this for hours gives me a sore behind. I don't recommend it.
This is gonna hurt in the morning, especially in tiredness.. I hope the music ( Read more... ) -
Machine
So I've finished up at the Machine Cafe.
It was good while it lasted and I enjoyed my time there, but it was about time I moved on before I got too settled.

Time to find another Job.. :-D

I hate to admit it, but looking at the 14 Tabs I have open on firefox, there is no denying it.. I am officially a geek.

Catherine: " *Laughs* Yeah, you're a geek.."
What's worse is I just used the ( Read more... ) -
Beards..
I've shaved off my beard.. Yes it's gone.. At least for the meantime!
Also I got told today by April that having a beard in Asia is culturally unacceptable, so I guess it will be gone whilst I'm on mission next year as well..
Such periods without it.. maybe it's gone for good? -
"After all these years.."
..Silverchair's Diorama album is still THE album I always come back to.
It may not be my most listened album, or my most lent out album, in fact it wasn't my first bought album nor my most treasured album (to own in a physical sense) and could I even call it my favourite album? No I don't think so, that changes with almost every new album I get.

Inspiration..
Composing music is difficult..
You could parallel it to designing a building or painting a picture or writing a novel, each of these need love and attention, but most of all, inspiration.
You need to be passionate
And have a desire to achieve a goal
You need to be driven
but in order to have these things, you first need to have a beginning.

"Peri and Caccini's Euridice are quite dull"
yes.. yes they are. As is all Baroque history at the moment.. I don't know why, as a lot of Baroque operas are influenced by Ancient tragedies of the like I am studying in literature.. but it's just not the same! Help?! Anyone?
