Too tired to do it right
March 20, 2012 | 11:17 pm

Tide's gone out, my friends, but let's not panic

Three things I like in a good piece:

A hook. Something whistleable. A countermelody.

Repetition, not a loop. A theme, introduced, repeated, modified, and again a variation. A wholesale key change, a surprise second melody. All on the theme.

Dramatic tension. A transition from major to minor, a bridge back to the melody, a bump and three beats of silence. A crescendo, a whole new instrument adding another color.

So having poured my soul into a concerto lately, I don't have energy to do it right. My brain grabs a hook, and I'll get into it a bit, and part of me says, "Okay this is promising. Now to do it right. A countermelody, a crescendo, a bridge, a variation, and, oh, it all sounds like so much work, I think I'll just take a nap instead."

I've only been tired for a couple of weeks. Until the tide comes back in I'll keep uploading old stuff and listening to great music you all make for me.

Thank you for your support.

Aamp Artist	I hear you sir both in what you like in a good piece, and in how much work it seems. Being tired sucks. I've got to be up for work in under 3 hours!

LunaBleu Artist	Ah yes, I can relate. You do put so much effort into a piece that it would seem daunting. So just breathe for a while. Then just do it one bit at a time. Sometimes looking at the whole of something makes it seem impossible. Just look for the pieces. Eventually they will make a whole. I hope you find new inspiration and feel better soon.
