Hopping around a bit, mostly experimenting with stuff behind the scenes instead of wasting everyones time on stream .
Plus I've been watching random stuff in the background(like paid classes) so I can't exactly stream while I'm doing that.
Been thinking about orchestration stuff - and the idea that sometimes clarity in orchestration and strength in register isn't always ideal.
This example uses low double stopped trem(it's a minor 6th so it's pretty easy to finger) on the bottom end of the viola and the celli - and a held pedal in octaves trem in violin I and II - with a pedal just sustained in the bass.
There's nothing in the normal "meat" register at and above middle C. - and I intentionally put the only chords being trem'd with low dynamics but higher bow noise surrounding the register that the melody is in.
the melody which is quite low for horns, so I keep them pretty soft - and the trombones assisting(again, low dynamics to not overpower the horns). I had added some low winds to it - but decided it just didn't need it, and I liked the idea of the melodic statement being kind of said "under their breath". I hope to eventually reach a point where I can actually get composing on stream... but for now - atleast enjoy the fact that I'll have a week off in about 7 days so I should be able to fire the stream up even if it's just to do boring stuff.
