Day four was a busy day for real life stuff but I managed to sneak in two music breaks. First, before work, I put rhythm guitars onto two songs. One of which was the nightmare song that’s in 5/8 time. What the hell was I thinking? Later, shortly before bed, I started song idea number six on my MacBook. The song form is done and the MID Bass and Drums are done. That’s all. Weirdly, it is in 4/4 time. GarageBand for iOS only gives 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8 as options where the Mac version lets you use pretty much any time signature. Often when I work on the Mac I’ll try to use something that doesn’t work on the iPhone or iPad simply because I can. Not this time. This time it was plain old boring 4/4.
That’s all for day four. Right now there are six songs in progress. Three have rhythm guitars. One of those has a melody. Everything else just has bass and drums. That is the state of the challenge as of falling asleep last night.

What an inspiring glimpse into the creative process! I admire your dedication to making steady progress despite a busy schedule. Your willingness to tackle challenging time signatures like 5/8 while also embracing the simplicity of 4/4 shows a wonderful balance of creativity and practicality. Six songs in progress is an impressive achievement, and it’s exciting to follow your musical journey one day at a time. Wishing you continued inspiration and success with the challenge!
