This orchestral piece has taken longer than usual to share with you. I hope that you appreciate it at least half as much as I’ve enjoyed the process of creating it. ## From Here to There The process started normally enough. Initially, I created a few piano improvisations. Those became the skeleton of the full body of this piece. But to get there… Next, I answered these questions quickly: Which instruments would play which part? Should they be solos or sections? Should the main theme be identical each time or morph through the piece? The journey from idea to completed composition can be complex Click To Tweet ## Drifting In The Right Direction The main structure of the composition came together over a few days. However, my instrument choices changed several times during the arranging and mixing of the piece. And then, I asked my spouse to listen. She is kind and honest. Since I’ve asked for her input many times, I know that she will suggest that I pare down the instrumentation. You see, I have a tendency to make almost every type of music too grandiose. With this “big” orchestral piece, that temptation was huge. Have trusted advisors in the creative process so that you can heed hard advice Click To Tweet ## Refining True to this pattern, she recommended that I expose different textures in various bits of the piece. So, I pared back considerably, eventually removing more than a dozen tracks and reducing others. One result of this is the beautiful oboe solo about two thirds of the way through “Drifting”. Artistic maturity: Being willing to change what we create to make it better Click To Tweet By the time this next thing happened, I had already been mixing this song for days. My composer friend, John M. Davis, posted that he had benefited from the book “Mixing Modern Orchestral Music”. It seemed too perfect that I saw this, so I took a look at the book, found that I could download it, and purchased a copy. Sure enough, it was very helpful in bringing together my own thoughts on this mixing process. ### Please share! * Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon * Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn * Click to share on Threads (Opens in new window) Threads * Click to share on Bluesky (Opens in new window) Bluesky * Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email * More * * Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit * * Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr * Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest * * Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X * ### Like this: Like Loading... ### _More for you_ * * * ### Discover more from Stan Stewart - @muz4now Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.

Threads like this are what make Bluesky special. This is what appears in my feed. At the other place, it would be rabid racists and "othering"

Dunno, cos we can't see as they're blocked?

The word "homophones" is defined as two or more words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling.

How are "affect" and "effect" not homophones?

Artists need to get and accept feedback to improve their music and themselves

As musicians we tend to get defensive when we are given feedback or criticism, even if we ask for it because we "want to improve". #musiciansky

* Remember that feedback is your friend
* The pain it causes helps you grow
* Being uncomfortable = you are about to change for the better
