back to fishes
Hey everybody!
Here on Day 3 I'm back to thinking about fishes. I also finished one particularly thorny long term project!!!
First thing: I attempted playing Frogfish on the piano. I'm not the best pianist, but it's not bad! Wanted to share that with you guys.
Second thing: Inspired by Alice working on her big ensemble piece, I started the first movement of my Deep Sea Fishes piece. I think I'll use this instrumentation:
Piano, 2 Fl., Ob., 2 Cl., Bsn., Vla, Vc, Cb. Possibly percussion??
The first movement will be the Sea, and the subsequent movements will be character studies of individual weird deep sea fishes. I sketched some sea music today- I'll post a scan of the sketch, but it's probably impossible for anyone to read other than myself.
Third thing: A string orchestra piece I've been working on for a long while is finally done!!! I'm free!!!! Mostly. Might still need to do some editorial stuff. It's so many pages, so I'm posting a password protected link to the PDF and midi!

Saltarello - for Cor Anglais
I enjoyed yesterday's Cor Anglais piece so much, I decided to do another.
04 Zippy
Todays gonna be a busy one so I just put this together before heading off to bed. Here's a lil beat with randomly selected accels/rits in specific start and end points.
Contraflunctus unfin.
I was having too much fun with this and so didn't want to wrap it up as a mini with my 2 hours this morning. Love cpt. It's also really difficult, but I found this piece in the context of MoM to be great at getting me to be efficient with my decisions and stay focused on where the cpt was going in the moment and into where the music might go. Don't know duration/form/etc. yet, but enjoying the process.
