i've mostly been writing snippets and that's all i've had time for, really.
i still have this feeling that i shouldn't be doing this because i actually do have a lot of other stuff on my plate this year. work has really ratcheted up lately and is suffering a little bit because of the time that could be used on work but is spent on WB noodling instead.
on the other hand, it's somewhat liberating to write music with literally NO expectation of having to produce a fully-formed piece by any means. in a way, WB this year has very much become for me a sonic scratchpad -- just in the adopting of the discipline of getting any musical idea down, no matter how larval; and i do feel better for having created the piece, as opposed to not having had created it at all.
i gotta say though, KORG Gadget has been a Godsend. it's become my go-to tool for the "oh crap i only have an hour to do this" moments where i want to come up with something decent in the least number of steps. in WB2014 i had no such tool to fall back on, and my year ended up being a lot more stressful as a result.
