Week Six - Halfway There!3/31/2024 This week I got some good work done, however it wasn’t as much as I would’ve liked. I created the next part of the melody, which includes a flute part! I had to work around some of the website’s limitations because the trombone and tuba parts were somewhat funky with what would work and what wouldn’t. For example, I tried to have one continuous drone of sound from the tuba part, but after a few measures it would just give out and stop playing. I got around this by making the sound re-articulate (restart basically) every few measures so that it was mostly continuous. When I was writing the flute part, I made the melody super spread out, which made it so that I was able to write around 15-20 measures just on that part of the melody. This was nice and helped me feel better about the goal I set, and I hoping to be able to make it past that goal. This coming week, I will likely spend a lot of time refining what I wrote with the flute melody, and possibly start on the next part of the piece. I’m not sure yet if I want to re-institute the same melody that the flute had, or something similar, or if I want to come up with something new. What I think I will probably do is reintroduce the flute melody, but with some differences and with the other parts. I’m looking forward to seeing what I come up with in the coming weeks, and I think I’m on pace to pass the goal I set. I hope to be able to come up with at least on more melody as I come to the end of the piece, and then I will have to figure out how I want to close it out. I think this will be one of the harder parts of the process because I find it a lot easier to just keep the music going, and closing it out will be a challenge. This project is around halfway done and it’s been awesome so far, and I’m excited to see where it goes.
