Three on the Tree, and no tea

So what have I been doing lately? I do have a new song that's being refined in my usual process, which involves playing it ad infinitum until it makes sense to me. The parts that usually get tweaked are the transitions between sections. Anyone that has analyzed my writing should know I write in a very linear fashion, where one section just moves to the next and never comes back. Well, this song is like that, too. This one is also what I would call "old school." It has a lot of elements from the Casio CZ days. Possibly influenced because it was composed on the CZ-1.

I have another, older, song that I want to finally record. It's from the TLC era. The first section makes a brief appearance in the middle section of one of the Victory recordings that's here on-site. There is more to it, though, and after all this time, I still remember it and am surprised it never got recorded in full on an archive tape.

Lastly, I am starting a new song I would like to be worthy of the title "Saphira's Theme". After finishing the current books of the Eragon trilogy, I found a bit of inspiration in the whole middle-earth/magic/fantasy theme. It has a bit of celtic in it, so it might actually be relevant.

So I haven't dropped off planet 700cb yet. I just don't think it's productive to have twenty blog posts that I'm working on the same song. And I've cut way back on caffeine - no more tea - which should enhance my productivity one way or another..
