It's Frankenstorm! (I mean, October!)
Hello everyone! Thank you so much those of you who are taking the time to comment. I truly value the feedback. So it's just about the end of the month, and true to form I have been procrastinating - I mean incubating - until nearly the final hour. Except this time, I couldn't wait until the very end of the month, since the east coast is supposedly about to be hit by this tremendous tropical storm/hurricane. I realized the power might go out, thus ending my perfect record of one song each month, so I have been burning the midnight oil again to make sure I got this one out before the storm hits. "Work in Progress" is really still, well, a work in progress. I uber-experimented with the garage band capabilities this time. I'm not completely satisfied with the results. I mean, I can imagine certain things in my head, but I can't always find a way to translate them into this medium. I just don't know enough yet about how to do everything I want to do. But I am learning.
This song is supposed to be a bit clubby. And I was trying to see if I could write a song that basically didn't have any change between the music on the chorus and the music on the verse, which I have never done before. At first, husband Jerry said it was a bit repetitive. Son Zephyr said yeah, but that's the way dance music is, and he thought it was fine. I tried to compromise by changing the melody a bit more, and playing around with the instrumentation. However, I am not a sound engineer and have no real mixing capabilities, so some of the various sounds don't seem mixed-in the way I want. Ah well. Like I said, it's a work in progress.
Also, this song is a bit of a tribute to all my fellow Creative Pulse-ers. I tried to get almost every artform I could into this song in some fashion, in honor of the amazing art work and creativity each of you has. So, enjoy! It will be posted as soon as it is done finalizing! So there, Frankenstorm! You can't stop the Song of the Month Club! :)
