This weekend was a bit rough on my wife and I. The boys are sick and Coleman puked at Trader Joes on Saturday. Thanks to the Swine Flu panic-strickened public, the looks we got were pretty much murderous. Never trust a scared mob. I was ready for them with my pitch fork so I wasn't too worried.
The weekend progressed with fevers and a gnarly whooping cough coming from the baby.
Needless to say, there was no music making activities...except for on Thursday night:
new piece, two versions being produced at once. It started out as a string piece for a part of the movie I'm working on. That went where I wanted it to so I saved it. I wanted to take it somewhere else though too, so I SAVE AS'ed and took it to another place entirely.
I spent a lot of time on a four part string movement in 3/4 time and I had a lot of fun with that and am pleased with the result. I felt like a "real" composer. Then I added the beat. I'm looking forward to getting back on it but we'll see if we all have Swine Flu or not. We're going to the doctor today.
