I began this week by pruning my song ideas. After throwing some things out, i have 17 scored tunes (or tune fragments) and 2 or 3 songs that i haven’t written out yet.

I’ve been suffering from quite a bit of stress and self-doubt the past few days, but I saw shinning ray of hope this morning as I played through some of the tunes that I have. It’s coming together. My songs sound like songs and they have a sound that I can say is me. I currently have 4 songs that I’ve finished writing. I’ve got a little work to do on the improvisations and have to figure out some blueprints for recording them.

As the week comes to end, I have finished composing all of my tunes. I have 12 tunes total. I’m not sure which ones will make the cut. Maybe it will be the first 10 or maybe it will be the best 10. Who knows?

Here’s a draft of a tune that I recorded earlier this week. It’s close to a good working version of the tune, except for the poor recording quality of the acoustic guitar and the bit where things start to sound out of phase.
