I've been reading my classmates' blogs, and I've discovered that I'm not the only one who was surprised at how well received their piece was. That was interesting, to me. It seems that every one else should have known that their piece was good. I suppose it's true when they say "you are your harshest critic.
What's next for me? I'm working on our next project, and I'm feeling a bit behind. We have to present two pieces, 2-5 min. long, and use a minimum number of tracks that are purely MIDI. And they have to be pretty much concert quality. And they're due in a week or two.
I have one awesome concept, and one not so good one. But, they're two concepts. I am really just sketching out some things trying to make this awesome one work, but it ain't easy. Mostly because I'm inexperienced in music technology. It doesn't feel like trying to force a square peg into a round hole, so much as it feels like trying to figure out what shape the peg is and finding where the hole is to begin with.
It's fun, though. Seriously, I'm not, like, discouraged. It's just hard. I figured it would be, but I'm still enjoying this a bit.
No, I won't tell you what my concept is. You'll just have to wait and see. ;)
