After getting off work to yesterday, I did something I was not expecting to do… I started writing some music. I was just fooling around on the keyboard writing some melodies. Usually when I do that, I just end up forgetting the melodies and they are lost forever. But yesterday, as I wrote a lullaby-ish melody, I could just hear it harmonated and orchestrated so well in my head that I could not resist trying to get it into the computer and turning it into a full piece. It’s a very simple piece, just a calm melodic line repeated three times with variations. But to my exhausted mind it’s quite nice and relaxing.
I’m almost finished with it. I’ll probably post it on YouTube when I’m done. I think I’ll call it A Dream Half Lost.
I was also thinking about holding a small contest with it, the prize being a free [physical] copy of my album. To me the piece sounds very song-like, so the contest would be to write lyrics to it and post the singing of it as a video response on YouTube. Not sure how much interest there would be in such a contest, but I think it would be interesting to try… I’ve got nothing to lose, right? But I’m not sure yet…
