I had another slow, but not entirely unproductive day yesterday. Song #13 is currently planned as the four part suite I talked about in yesterday’s update. As of right now, parts A, C, and D have been sketched out. A and C are on my iPad, while D is on my iPhone. Again, I love living in the future. B will need to be developed on my MacBook because I want to use a weird time signature and the iOS version of Garageband can’t do that. I haven’t put any guitars onto these projects yet. Maybe tonight or tomorrow I’ll get to that.
I also threw together another new project on my iPhone yesterday morning. The structure is similar to another song that’s in the works, but if I should chose to keep it it will be song #14… which means FAWM could be completed this year. I suppose that technically FAWM is complete now. I have in fact written music for 14 new songs. However, I don’t like to call the challenge complete until I have 14 complete songs, including lyrics and melodies. That’s going to be the hard part this year, even more than usual.
My cold keeps getting worse. I can barely talk right now, never mind sing. I had planned to sneak some singing in here and there in the short space of time between my wife leaving for work and me leaving for work, but we’ve been car pooling on non-kid days. I do have a vacation day scheduled for late in the month. Hopefully I’ll be better by then, but I don’t think recording vocals for 14 songs in one day is really doable.
I’m going to have to figure something out.
