Here We Go

So I've started writing again.

I'm really excited about this one because it's the second consistent melody I've ever written, and I love it very much. Mainly because I don't even know what I'm doing half the time (that's a lie, I understand what I'm doing more now than I did when I wrote it).

It's a slow piece in c minor and then it modulates to a G major or something (I'm not quite sure because of some chromatic chords). I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes about. I'm thinking piano and strings mainly right now, and might not add much else besides maybe some percussion. But don't hold me to that, because I'm just not sure.

The melody, when played up high, sounds like a very sad, melancholy music box melody, and I might try to put that into the piece just cause it sounds cool.

I also have Kjartan's 30 second thing to finish, which shouldn't take too long. I'll post both on myspace when I'm done. the 30 second thing will be done first.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to unveiling more and writing more.

30 Seconds to Ark

I'm writing a little 30 second didly for Kjartan for a video for entry for an Arkansas/Ole Miss video (could I put more "for"s in ?).

Hailey wanted me to talk about it, so I will.

It's just a simple riff that crescendoes for thirty seconds with a straight drum beat in the back. I'm going to try to make it more interesting, but there's only so much I can do in 30 seconds.

Enjoy.
