A tune snapped into place this weekend. Well, at least some of it did.  It’s a simple progression that came out of my “spread-voiced” triads practice, and resides in sort of a big “4″ groove with atypical rhythmic hits. Now comes the hard part: development. I don’t have a melody yet and I don’t have a B-section. I’ve had this idea for a couple of days without progress, so I think I’m just going to write it down and come back to it later. It’s a little early to be fighting so hard with a tune. I’ve got some time on my side.

As I mentioned earlier, the whole idea of this Walbum project has invigorated my creatitivy and musical satisfaction. I’m really enjoying the idea of this deadline, and the excitement that will come as this project gets completed. I’m just brainstorming right now, but I’m thinking of locations to debut or showcase this work live in early ’07. It could give me a little more creative juice to ride in the new year, or at least something to do through another cold New England Winter.
