solarbirdYes, I'm doing other things than following the news. I've put down notes for a few more songs, for example. But I haven't had time to write about the other stuff. I haven't done any more arranging yet, either; I don't want to alternate between "making songs and/or song notes" vs. "arranging existing songs" in very large chunks, and I spent a lot of last week making that one big arrangement of "Leaffall." But I'd rather have a lot of ideas and/or completed-but-not-arranged songs to choose from than the other way around. ^_^
Hm. It occurs to me just tonight that this is the inverse of my usual "creative" efforts. Historically, even in drawing - where I had the best track record - I had relatively small numbers of ideas and tended to complete most or all of them. In sculpture, that was even more extreme. In fiction, even more.
Graphic design is kind of separate in that it is art, but it's also engineering, and is generally done as a solution to a problem. So the idea is how to solve the problem presented, rather than coming up with the problem - or idea - to begin with. There's a lot of creativity in that, mind you. But - for me, at least - it's different than any of the other things I've listed.
Photography, though - kind of an exception. Tho' in my case it's much more about finding the art already present - if hidden - in something.
Huh. Interesting. To me, anyway. And it's my LJ, so there.
Also, mostly as a note to myself, whistling ideas into the little voice recorder needs to be done with more care, I have no idea what I was doing with this other snippet I recorded that way. It is incoherent and I am sad! Maybe it will come back to me later.
Friday is a big stay-at-home-and-wait-for-Anna's-computer day, as she is not allowed to call in laptop. Aside from waiting for the delivery, things I need to do tomorrow:

Friday is a big stay-at-home-and-wait-for-Anna's-computer day, as she is not allowed to call in laptop. Aside from waiting for the delivery, things I need to do tomorrow:
- Home paperwork annoyances
- Try to draw card art. Hopefully succeed. Am stupidly late.
- Make bread
Hide Anna's new laptop, but not in crawlspaceScatter hints about the house- Start arranging that E-major two-part nanosprint into a proper show-off song. It has tasty flute wankery and should be fun.
- Contact the next lab.
- Make another @#*$(!!! music icon!
