Listening to a live stream of R.E.M.'s new career spanning best of on NPR.com as I write this.
In any process that is as long and drawn out as the one that is being chronicled by this blog, there are going to be high points and low points. Ordinary days and watershed days. Today felt like a watershed day.
I compared the two Berklee applications. I was right, the first one had more to it. There was a second sheet in the earlier app that had more musical characteristics and questions on it. It gives me more of a chance to lay out the areas that I will need to focus on in order to put my best foot forward when I apply.
Other things that happened today:
1) I found the binder that I had intended to use to make the centerpiece of the project. There's a skeleton of something there, but it's really thin right now. It's something that I can definitely flesh out from there, and the exciting part of that is that I don't think it would take all that much time. The playing/practicing part of it will take a lot of time & effort, but that's the exciting part.
2) I paged through the song binder a bit, trying to find a few more songs to record for this EP. After going to work, it dawned on me that "Norwegian Wood" might be fun to try and track. I'll give that one a shot at least. I know for sure that there are a few other songs in that binder that will work out for this project.
Those were two big moments for me today, and I can only imagine that they will lead to bigger and better things. More on this, and everything else, tomorrow.
