Decided to finish Anatomy of A Breakthrough.
Was so close I couldn't stand it.
Felt good.
On to Man's Search for Meaning
and Musical Composition in the twentieth century by Arnold Whittall.

About noon I composed off and on for a few hours.
Cello Solo.
It's getting to the point where It's guiding it's own existence. 
I just have to be there to document it.
I've done as much as I can do creatively to start the seed.
Now it's growing on its own.
The more I compose the more detail I recognize in the feeling of the way it goes.
Small details and nuance of quasi-spiritual essence soeak itself into my core.
Ah hello friend.
Exit through me and into the world from whci you came from.
Swirling in the whispered void.

I remember being the most productive locking myself away in the practice rooms at BSU. There's no internet that reaches no. 6 in the back. So it was just me my piano and pencil and paper. No phone.

Went to BSU library for more books on contemporary composition.
Found a few decent ones.
Will probably take me a long while to get through them.

Back home for some reading, research, listening, and a bit more composing.

I'm also realizing I need to act with a sense of urgency in the evenings.
The faster to bed to more time to read and the sooner to get to sleep.

The Best Morning Starts the Night Before

See you tomorrow lovelies.
