Schedules messed up. Taking a week off from working out is terrible. But I don't want shin splints. Back on Monday. For now; Composed 1.5 hours minimum today. The flute work Tet'ra is over 4 minutes which is golden. Gotta notate it all out and then worry about intricacies like technique, expression, tempo, and dynamic indications. I've absolutely failed to record Psalm 23. Can I do it in 2 days? Would I be disappointed if I didn't try? Definitely. Here we go. Piano 1 hour today. Going to be trying the sleep meds this evening; maybe it will help to reset the schedule. Maybe it won't do anything at all, But I'm done reading scientific journal articles on the substance. Sometimes you just gotta jump. I wonder what I should start on next? Large scale work? Like, Symphonia: "Sum fluxae pretium spei" I'm still stalling on an album. But I need to follow the energy. Maybe I'm more of a contemporary composer than I ever thought. Is it resignation? And is that a good thing? To let go of the expectations I've placed on myself? And to follow to flow of life as it appears in the moment. To me that's contemporary composition. As much as I am inspired by my current favorite album. Rat Saw God, by Wednesday. I can never be that. No one can. Try as we wish, we can only be ourselves. It's a balance between reaching and acceptance. See you tomorrow lovelies
