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.<\/p>\n
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<\/em>.<\/p>\n 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…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After getting off work to yesterday, I did something I was not expecting to do… I started writing some music.
