Increment fourteen

By increment on April 7, 2024 12:35 pm

This year, I am taking a bit of an Agile approach, working on breaking down one long continuous composition or album into 1-3-minute delivery chunks, ideas, and motifs flowing from one track to the next. I am drafting future ideas several weeks in advance, refining the next release or two, and finishing one track every week.

This week, we move into the abyss of the hero's journey. This has been a difficult transition to master, and I am sorry that it just cuts out right at the moment where I feel it gets interesting, that's for me to work on next week. But I have to admit, I am struggling to meet week on week for this method, I've got some solid ideas for weeks a bit into the future, but it a real challenge for me to weave them together. I am concerned about how I will go over the next two weeks in particular, the bones are there, but the finesse will take a lot of work.

This is an amazing concept! To say nothing of ambitious….it’s hard enough to do a track a week, but keeping them all consistent and flowing together is a task.

Definitely see what you mean about it cutting off at an inopportune time LOL. I like the energy and texture, it wasn’t necessarily what I was expecting for a long-format piece! I need to listen to the other weeks in succession and hear how they flow…
