Fortnightly Update #17
Welcome to the seventeenth music update of the year
Acoustic August is fully underway! I hope you are enjoying the raw and unedited piano music. It's a fantastic insight into the kind of composing I do right at the start of the process: improvised, casual and creative piano. Often, once I land on a tune or sequence I like I iterate on it over and over again to try develop it in many different ways. This is quite repetitive, so I will not do a "Songmaking September". But afterwards, I open up the computer and begin scratching the notes down and sharing it out to different instruments in the orchestra (or "Orchestra October", if you prefer). It's an absolutely fascinating process to see how things grow from some random piano playing into a fully-formed and finished piece. I look forward to seeing where the tunes from Acoustic August end up!
Anyway, you probably want to know what I'm doing next? Well that's a secret! Actually, it's not. The original soundtrack for EU4's Extended Timeline is next on the list and I expect it will take quite some time to complete. But I've also had some smaller commissions pop up which I will work through at the same time.
So nothing flashy or exciting to share at the moment, as I'm heads-down developing new music.
Enjoy!
