In a post last week I talked about getting back to basics. So I decided to try something. Long term goals just do not seem to work for me. I often lose focus or the bigger picture makes me overwhelmed. I find that for the most part the Listening Journal helps to keep me accountable for listening. As a matter of fact I am listening to Xenakis's Palimpsest as I write this. With this in mind, I thought I would make and post weekly goals for composing.
My goals this week are simple. I want to finish the fourth movement of Trackings No. 2. I will also sketch the "interlude" between the first two sound walls at the beginning of Time in Memoriam.
With things slowing down for me outside of work I believe that these goals are easily attainable. The fourth movement of Trackings No. 2 is about fifty percent complete. Most of the work that needs to be don is the transition before the return of the A section. After that the rest will just easily flow together.
We shall see if this new approach will help to keep me on track and make me more accountable for composing.
