For two hours this evening (6pm-8pm), I created, using Garageband, a large quantity of sound that radiates in the ears. Using my violin, my guitar, my voice, a small drum I found lying around, and some synthesized instruments (horns, rock drums, flute, lower strings), I created this: an Orchestral Mass in B Minor. I know it's not really a mass, but that name sounded fitting and so... there it came. I had a lot of fun banging around on all my instruments, even including my violin, so it was a fantastic evening! :) Also, I don't believe I mentioned this, but I'm creating a second symphony that uses other objects (a phone that when you dial it makes notes, a Rubik's Cube, a wall, etc.) combined with the orchestra to create lots of sound. So I guess you could say it's like this piece. I made great strides on it this morning, so I will try to continue it and get back to work!And it's a great feeling knowing after a hard day's work, I can sit down with an Asian medley of vegetables and enjoy the great tastes while the music runs in my head and upstairs on my computer. Ah... today was a great day! I feel so happy inside! :)
