Live vicariously through my experience at the 2008 Aspen Music Festival

Done!

That's right: DONE. Today the parts for our Jimmy Neutron cue were due to the orchestral librarian. That means as of 2pm I was officially done with the hysteria of meeting the all-too-typically impossible film deadlines. I wrote 109 measures of fully orchestrated music (that's three minutes scored for over 35 instruments) in 5 days. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Yes, I am tired, but more-so I am invigorated and am raring for my next project. I have to say it is really nice to be put in such an intense environment such as this only to discover (and be reminded) that you totally have the chops and the talent to kick frickin ass. 

Ahead of us is our recording session with the giant orchestra on Thursday, July 10, followed by mixing sessions for both our cues, then the final showcase of all our work on Monday, July 14th. I also hope to get a jump start on some concert music for some venues in the fall, including a trio for flute, viola, and  harp for my dear harpist friend Emily John - yay! 

I also would like to announce that I am now officially caught up on my blogging. I think one of the greatest features of this blogger is that you can edit the date and time of your posts. The three below that read Friday, Wednesday, and Tuesday were all posted within the last 24 hours. It's great for me since I can keep my entries date-relevant, but it may prove to be confusing for all you diligent readers who come here on a daily basis and suddenly find that there are three postings from days previous that you SWEAR you didn't see last time you were on. Worry not, you are not having a psychotic break, but rather are just witnessing my catch-up! Cheers!
