Wow! It's getting so busy, I can't believe I haven't updated things in a month. Good news is the first film, the one I was jabbering on about in the last post, the one with the director suffering from decision making impairment, well, that's done, recorded and in the books. Since last post, I've scored another film, my files were sent out to remote musicians on Sunday, and we got another film yesterday. Three weeks per film is what I can expect from here on out. This time were are going back to live studio recordings here in Seattle, no more remote stuff. Each time the number of available musicians grows. Cane had 3, The Gateway Process (the first remote-recorded film) had 7. Jailbroken (the remote-recorded one we just got) allows for 12.
I have also started my final graduate project. Three minutes of original music written and orchestrated for 52 musicians, a full freakin' orchestra! There is no film associated with this one, I can write whatever I want as long as it sounds 'theatrical', I don't have to time my music to a film which is a relief. The recording session for the final isn't until July 15th, which is good as I will need all that time.
The number of classes we have each week is dwindling as we require more and more time for scoring films. My next in-person residency if May 27-31 with a recording session that Wednesday. After the residency, I'll be down to just 2 classes per week, the rest of the time is independent study and meeting time with my composition advisors.
I'm exhausted, but I feel like I've hit a groove. There is a ton of work, but it's steady and reasonable. Emotionally I've been on an upswing and holding steady. Graduation is only 74 days away. EEK!
