26 August 2008
Coming up with titles will be the hard part. Maybe I'll skip that.
Tuesday was mostly a bust, due to some distractions that got me worked up and took some of my time. But, that led to a thought that was probably a clarification of something I had been thinking about. In order to help clear up my head, I put on some music (David Grissom's Loud Music, if you must know). I realized that I often find that music helps me when I'm in a mood. But what I also realized is that I need to learn how to make music when I'm in a mood. I tend to get frustrated and mentally "cluttered" when I feel that way, and what I'd like to do is to be able to tap into the mood instead. It seems like that's what other creative people do, so why not me?
Towards the end of the day, I started to read the part of the manual for Logic about how to use it for music notation. I played around with the feature that lets you drop notes into the score editor by hand. I wasn't terribly happy with the results. Predictably, it came out a little stiff. I'm not sure if the issue is dynamics (where some notes should be stronger than others) or rhythm. But, I did gain some knowledge about how to use the Score Editor and I'll play with it some more and see if I can come up with something a bit better.
