After having had a very beautiful week in Austria, thank you, a month of near aridity has passed without my having begun swimming regularly as I planned, fixed up my bike to begin cycling regularly, completed giving my room a long-overdue overhaul, nor my recent attempts to get some session musician work meeting with success. In light of this, it seems doubtful that I will be spending the coming months settling into my career as a session musician before resuming my studies next February, but that I will continue into the second half of my degree studies this October with A363 Advanced creative writing. Something of a leap, considering I haven't done the Level 2 Creative writing course, but according to a fellow student of mine who has studied this course, it seems possible for someone to skip it and go straight for the advanced, provided that they have an aptitude for creative writing.
And it is creativity which impels me to write today, since I'm more than pleased to say that after wallowing long in a quagmire of uncreativity, externally imposed or otherwise, my rhythmic muse has returned spinning wonderful rhythms in my imagination, and with her some new harmonies and melodies and chords begin to peep their noses out of the shadows. A short example of my recent work is here attached. It's only drums, created with Hydrogen, but I'm thoroughly happy with it, and whilst I continue working on the rest of the piece, you can have a listen and maybe even enjoy.
